I opened the invitation

to the end of the world's party.

[Music]

It doesn't feel like I'm truly here.

And you... here, everything is

so grand.

It's beginning.

[Music]

Even the men in the streets are dancing.

[Music]

I am the one truly...

The wizard told me,

"Keep this voice a secret from me."

[Music]

If you don't,

your life

will be

in danger.

Hello, end of the world.

[Music]

Because you invited me to the party,

that's what you said.

I went beyond the limit, because you said so,

So that we don't lose each other in the carnival,

I could hear

your heavenly voice.

Yeah.
