Lyrics

芳しい破滅への
祈りは枯れ果て
錆付いた　窓を開ける

輝く鐘を打ち鳴らして
今直ぐあなたを
迎えにゆくわ

生まれ変わる　白い光
痛む程に注いで
淡い夢と傷を裂いて
この躰を貫く
絡みついた記憶達を
粉々に壊すの
光溢れる　新しい朝を
見せてあげるわ 

信じた声も　嘘になって
青い空を　憎んだ
途切れ途切れ
ぼやけてゆく
今は遠い約束
剥がれてゆく悪い夢と
沈んでゆく暗闇
無駄な声も
無駄な唄も
あたしはもう要らない   
      
生まれ変わる　白い光
痛む程に注いで
淡い夢と傷を裂いて
この躰を貫く
絡みついた記憶達を
粉々に壊すの
光溢れる　新しい朝を
見せてあげるわ

粉々に壊すの
光溢れ²　新しい朝を

Rōmaji Lyrics

Kaguwashii hametsu e no

Inori wa karehate

Sabitsuita…mado o akeru

Kagayaku kane o uchinarashite

Ima sugu anata o

Mukae ni yuku wa

Umarekawaru…shiroi hikari

Itamu hodo ni sosoide

Awai yume to kizu o saite

Kono karada o tsuranuku

Karamitsuita kiokutachi o

Konagona ni kowasu no

Hikari afure¹…atarashii asa o

Misete ageru wa

Shinjita koe mo…uso ni natte

Aoi sora o…nikunda

Togire, togire

Boyakete yuku

Ima wa tōi yakusoku

Hagarete yuku warui yume to

Shizunde yuku kurayami

Muda na koe mo

Muda na uta mo

Atashi wa mō iranai

Umarekawaru…shiroi hikari

Itamu hodo ni sosoide

Awai yume to kizu o saite

Kono karada o tsuranuku

Karamitsuita kiokutachi o

Konagona ni kowasu no

Hikari afure²…atarashii asa o

Misete ageru wa

My English Translation

———————————————————————————————————————————

My prayer for a fragrant rain

Is all exhausted and

So I open a rusty…window

I will go to meet

You right now

Striking a glittering bell

A white light…being reborn

Painfully shining and tearing through

My fleeting/faint dreams and scars

Pierces this body of mine

I will break these memories

Clinging to you

I will show you

A new morning…filled with overflowing light¹

The voices I trusted…have become untrue/lies and

I have hated…the blue sky

The promises are far away now

Fading away

Disconnectedly

The bad dreams are peeling away and

The darkness is sinking down

I do not need

Useless voices and

Useless songs anymore

A white light…being reborn

Painfully shining and tearing through

My fleeting/faint dreams and scars

Pierces this body of mine

I will break these memories

Clinging to you

I will show you

A new morning…filled with overflowing light²
