Lyrics

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

床の上にばらまかれた絵を眺める

あの頃と少しも変わらない君が微笑む

流れてくる歌声に溺れながら

今も少しも変われない僕がたたずむ

空が青くなく　夜が黒くなく　赤の鼓動が止めば

君を忘れることが出来るのに

seraph serenade

何処へ往くの？　連れて行って　独りにはなれない

迎えに来た君の手をとる

この瞬間で幕を閉じる運命を　永遠に光る輝きの中　感謝する

胸に残る体温　天使と舞う姿

銀色の翼が今　永い悪夢を越えて　君を待つ僕のもとへ

思い通りにして　さぁ殺しておくれ　僕を待つ君の腕で

再会の今を抱き締めるこの僕を　さぁ殺しておくれ…———————————————————————————————————————————

My English Translation

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

I look at the pictures scattered on the bed

You, who haven’t changed at all since then, smile

Indulging in the floating, singing voice

I, who haven’t changed at all even now, stand still

If the sky was not blue…and the red throbbing stopped

I could forget you¹

Seraph serenade

I take the hand of you who have come to greet me²

Now, silver wings…overcoming a long nightmare…come to me, who is waiting for you³

As you wish…here, please kill me…with the arms of you who are waiting for me⁴

In the eternally shining brilliance…I appreciate…the destiny of closing the curtain at this instant

If the night was not black…and the red throbbing stopped

I could have forgotten you⁵

Seraph serenade

Where are you going?…Take me with you…I can’t be alone

Seraph serenade

I take the hand of you who have come to greet me⁶

Now, silver wings…overcoming a long nightmare…come to me, who is waiting for you⁷

As you wish…here, please kill me…with the arms of you who are waiting for me⁸

I feel the remaining heat in your breast…your figure dancing with an angel

Now, silver wings…overcoming a long nightmare…come to me, who is waiting for you

Here, please kill me…this one who embraced the present moment of our reunion…⁹
