Beauty on my face

 

I am beautiful.
I am so beautiful.
lip, cheek,eyes, shadow, voice,heart
any way, any fate

 

Beauty?Unbeauty? asking a mirror.
grassy,dressy
but,heart is stained.
forever...

あふれる涙さえも今私を変えてく
この想いも枯れてゆく?
このまま落ち葉のようにただ色褪せてゆくの?
Ah...鏡に写るほど
Afureru namida sae mo ima watashi wo kaeteku
Kono omoi mo kareteyuku?
Kono mama ochiha no you ni tada iroasete yuku no?
Ah... kagami ni utsuru hodo
I'll change, even down to the tears that are overflowing,
So will these feelings die now?
Like the fallen leaves, will I grow dull in colour?
Ah... I'm projected in the mirror.

 

I love you...My destiny
今夢に割いた花
Ah... この美しい顔に
My destiny
今私を変えてく
Ah...この美しい顔に
I love you...My destiny
Ima yume ni saita hana
Ah... Kono utsukushii kao ni
My destiny
Ima watashi wo kaeteku
Ah... Kono utsukushii kao ni
I love you...My destiny
Now, the flowers rent by dreams
Ah... and this beautiful face,
My destiny
Now, they will change me.
Ah... this beautiful face.

 

I am beautiful.
I am so beautiful.
lip, cheek,eyes, shadow, voice,heart
any way, any fate

Cinderella Fantasy
It's your love story
儚い願いを胸に秘めて
Cinderella Fantasy
It's your love story
Hakanai negai wo mune ni himete
Cinderella Fantasy
It's your love story
Hide your ephemeral wishes in your heart.

深い森から(光の馬車に乗り)抜け出そうよ
憂鬱な日々を(風で吹き飛ばして) 舞踏会へおいでよ
Fukai mori kara (hikari no basha ni nori) nukedasou yo
Yuuutsu na hibi wo (kaze de fukitobashite) butoukai he oide yo
You seem about to (riding in a carriage of light) steal away from the deep forest,
And the gloomy days (blown away by the wind) appear in the ball.

 

シャンデリアの下で踊ろう
細い腕を僕に差し出して
Chandelier no shita de odorou
Hosoi ude wo boku ni sashidashite
Let's dance under the chandelier.
You extend your thin arm to me.

儚い願いを胸に秘めて
Cinderella Fantasy
It's your love story
Hakanai negai wo mune ni himete
Cinderella Fantasy
It's your love story
Hide your ephemeral wishes in your heart.

 

ドレスの裾を(ヒラヒラとなびかせ)急ぎ足で
花を手にとり(クルクルと舞わして)扉を今開こう
Dress no suso wo (hirahira to nabikase) isogiashi de
Hana wo te ni tori (kurukuru to mawashite) tobira wo ima hirakou
The hem of your dress (swishing seductively) so quickly
Takes the flower in hand (and spinning round and round). Let's now open
the door.

 

シャンデリアの下で踊ろう
僕の胸にさぁ飛び込んで来て
Chandelier no shita de odorou
Boku no mune ni saa tobikondekite
Let's dance under the chandelier.
Dive straight into my heart.

It's your love story
Hide your ephemeral wishes in your heart.

 

We are Fantasy

幻想の中であなたに会える
We are Fantasy

Gensou no naka de anata ni aeru
We are Fantasy
I am so Fantasy
I can meet you in these illusions.

さあ どろどろしたもの 撒き散らしていこうぜ
べちゃべちゃべちゃべちゃ飛び出して 擦り付けてやれ
フライングしていけよ スピードで遠くに逃げちまえ
勝ち負けなんて 自分のこと 嫌いになるだろう?
Saa Dorodoro shita mono Makichirashite ikou ze
Bechabecha bechabecha tobidashite Nasuritsukete yare
Flying shiteike yo Speed de tooku ni nigechamae
Kachimake nante Jibun no koto Kirai ni naru darou?
Now, let's scatter all the impure things,
Jump out, noisily blaming each other,
And fly, escaping far away with speed!
Isn't something like winning or losing something that will make you come
to hate yourself?

 

愛してる 愛してる 俺に言ってんのかい?
愛してる 愛してる 自分に言ってんのかい?
道草くって走り出せ 夜の風を切れ
少年の夢 忘れんなよ ここが遊び場だ
Aishiteru Aishiteru Ore ni itte n no kai?
Aishiteru Aishiteru Jibun ni itte n no kai?
Michikusa kutte ashiridase Yoru no kaze wo kire
Shounen no yume Wasurenna yo Koko ga asobiba da
I love you, I love you, won't you tell me that?
I love you, I love you, won't you tell yourself that?
Run along, tearing up the grass, cutting through the night wind!
Don't forget your boyhood dreams. This is your playground!

 

Show me Show me What you've got さあ 行こうぜ
Yeah Yeah Yeah !!
Show me Show me What you've got 隠してんな
Yeah Yeah Yeah !!
Show me Show me What you've got Saa Ikou ze

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!

 

いくつになったって 変わらない衝動 変われないフラストレーション
叫ぶ場所は 叫ぶ相手は 胸の中囲うなよ
今叫べ
Ikutsu ni natta tte Kawaranai shoudou Kawaranai frustration
Sakebu basho ha Sakebu aite ha Mune no naka kakou na yo
Ima sakebe
No matter how old we get, the impulses and frustrations won't change.
Don't lock up the place or the opponent you cry for in your heart.
Now, scream!

いくつになったって 変わらない衝動 変われないフラストレーション
叫ぶ場所は 叫ぶ相手は 胸の中囲うなよ
抱えてきた傷を揺さぶろう 今ここで吐き出していけ
好きになれる もっともっと自由に 自分のこと相手のこと
なりたかった 自分になろうぜ 突破できる
むき出しの夜に叫ぶぜ
Ikutsu ni natta tte Kawaranai shoudou Kawaranai frustration
Sakebu basho ha Sakebu aite ha Mune no naka kakou na yo

Mukdashi no yoru ni sakebu ze
No matter how old we get, the impulses and frustrations won't change.
Don't lock up the place or the companion you cry for in your heart.
The wounds you hold close will tremble, so now, spit them all out.
You can be loved. Now, more and more freely, you and your opponents
Can become the way you want to be. You can break through
And scream into the bare night!

奇跡はただ物静かに 僕らのすぐ傍らに座ってる
今はまだ時じゃない いつか来るフィナーレへと
Kiseki ha tada monoshizuka ni Bokura no sugu katawara ni suwatteru
Ima ha mada toki ja nai Itsuka kuru finale he to
The miracles are quietly staying close to us.
It's still not the time now, but someday, they'll come with the finale.

 

翼を休めて 瞼を閉じてよ 次に見る僕はどんな顔をしてる?
Tsubasa wo yasumete Mabuta wo tojite yo Tsugi ni miru boku ha donna kao
wo shiteru?
Rest your wings, and close your eyes. What sort of face will I have when
you see me next?

 

手繰り寄せた声達を 空を埋めるオーロラに変えて
摩天楼に照らされた この街を七色に灯そう
Teguri yoseta koetachi wo Sora wo umeru aurora ni kaete
Matenrou ni terasareta Kono machi wo nanairo ni tomosou
The passed-along voices fill the sky and change to aurora,
Seeming to light in seven colours this city that's illuminated by skyscrapers.

 

僕らは この時代を生きて 同じ場所に立ち その身を讃え合った
Bokura ha Kono toki1 wo ikite Onaji basho ni tachi Sono mi wo tataeatta
We're alive in this time, standing in the same place, praising that one person.

 

Spirits in our song embrace Gloria
All the pain and hurt's put behind
愛した過去と同じように この先はあるさ
We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days
人に在るべき心を誤魔化さない 強さを持って
Spirits in our song embrace Gloria
All the pain and hurt's put behind

We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days
Hito ni arubeki kokoro wo gomakasanai Tsuyosa wo motte
Spirits in our song embrace Gloria
All the pain and hurt's put behind
We have a future before us similar to the past we so loved.
We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days
This heart that all humans should be granted has the strength to not be
deceived.

 

声を響かせて祝福をしよう もう一度ここで 産まれた祝福を
Koe wo hibikasete shukufuku wo shiyou Mou ichido koko de Umareta shukufuku wo
With voice resounding, let's say blessing, just once more, to how we were
born here.

We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days

We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days
Ikita akashi wo tomosou Bokura no sumu Owaranai sekai he
Spirits in our song embrace Gloria
All the pain and hurt's put behind
We have a future before us similar to the past we so loved.
We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days.
Don't deceive the heart that all humans should be granted.
We will see the world full of Gloria
Even stains will color our days
The proof that we've lived seems to light up this endless world in which
we dwell.

この世界の果てに あなたがいるのなら
私は鳥にもなろう そう今すぐに
失うものはない 恐れるものはない
どこまででもあなたを迎えにいこう
Kono sekai no hate ni Anata ga iru no nara
Watashi ha tori ni mo narou Sou ima sugu ni
Ushinau mono ha nai Osoreru mono ha nai
Doko made demo anata wo mukae ni ikou
If you are there at the edge of this world,
I'll become a bird with you. Yes, soon,
There won't be anything to lose, anything to fear.
I'll go anywhere to meet you.

 

時空さえも超えて 大地を強く蹴り
揺るぎない愛 抱いて羽ばたいた
Jikuu sae mo koete Daichi wo tsuyoku keri
Yuruginai ai Daite habataita
I'll kick off hard from the earth, crossing through even space and time,
And, embracing this solid love, fly away.

 

傷だらけの羽根 大きく広げて
いくら雲を切り裂いても
あなたはいなくてただ彷徨うだけ
Ah 逢いたくて
Kizu darake no hane Ookiku hirogete
Ikura kumo wo kirisaite mo
Anata ha inakute tada samayou dake
Ah Aitakute
I'll spread my scarred wings wide, wide open.
No matter how many clouds I cut my way through,
You aren't here, so I simply wander.
Ah... I want to see you.

 

どこまでゆけば辿り着けるのか
世界の果てが見つからない
Doko made yukeba tadoritsukeru no ka?
Sekai no hate ga mitsukaranai
Will I have to struggle no matter where I go...?
I can't find the edge of the world.

 

揺れて風に揺れて
流され彷徨うだけ
揺れて風に揺れて
行きたいあなたの元へ
Yurete kaze ni yurete
Nagasare samayou dake
Yurete kaze ni yurete
Yukitai anata no moto he
Swayed by the trembling wind,
I can only wander around.
Swayed by the trembling wind,
I want to go to you.

break it down Just like this
break it down (Flame dance)
break it down Violently
break it down
Riding on the dancing wind of this endless world.

 

どこまでも続くこの地平線が
示している終わりなき旅を
存在もしないこの世界の果てが
全てを呑み込むのか?
Doko made mo tsuzuku kono chiheisen ga
Shimeshiteiru owarinaki tabi wo
Sonzai mo shinai kono sekai no hate ga
Subete wo nomikomu no ka
This horizon that stretches endlessly
Shows my endless journey.
Will the non-existent edge of the world
Swallow everything up?

 

あなたがいない この世界なんて
何も意味はない 消えてしまえ
Anata ga inai Kono sekai nante
Nani mo imi ha nai Kieteshimae
If you aren't here, this world
Has no more meaning, and should just disappear.

 

揺れて風に揺れて

羽ばたく炎の海を
Yurete kaze ni yurete
Daichi yo azayaka ni
Sekai ha kono te no naka

This earth that sways in the trembling wind
Is so brilliant.
The world is in my hand,
In a sea of fluttering flames.

涙の霧は幻想 ぼやけてゆく足跡
追いかけても腕は届かない
君の頬に触れたい 君の声が聞きたい
全て冬の幻なのか?
Namida no kiri ha gensou Boyaketeyuku ashiato
Oikakete mo ude ha todokanai
Kimi no hoho ni furetai Kimi no koe ga kikitai
Subete fuyu no maboroshi na no ka?
The mist of tears is an illusion. Even chasing after your blurring footprints,
I can't reach you.
I want to touch your cheeks. I want to hear your voice.
Is this all a vision of the winter...?

 

今も止まったままの景色の中で花は眠っている
Ima mo tomatta mama no keshiki no naka de hana ha nemutteiru
Now, in this stopped scenery, the flowers are sleeping.

 

白く細い肩抱きしめて 二人でとけていたい
揺れる心馬車のようで 踊らされてしまう
淡く幻想の中に咲く 鮮やかな花に
少し惑わされただけ
Shiroku hosoi kata dakishimete Futari de toketeitai
Yureru kokoro basha no you de Odorasareteshimau
Awaku gensou no naka ni saku Azayaka na hana ni
Sukoshi madowasareta dake
I want the two of us to melt away as I hold your thin white shoulder.
The trembling carriage of the heart makes us dance.
The brilliant flowers blooming in the faint dream
Left me a little confused.

 

そびえ立つ樹々の中 向かい風が冷たい
胸の奥で囁く言葉に 揺れて
どうしてこの場所で どうしてこの時代に
生まれてきた? 運命なのか?
Sobietatsu kigi no naka Mukaikaze ga tsumetai
Mune no oku de hibiku kotoba ni Yurete
Doushite kono basho de Doushite kono jidai ni
Umaretekita? Unmei na no ka?
The headwind in this forest of towering trees is so cold,
And the words echoing deep in my heart tremble.
Why were we born in this place,
In this age? Is it fate?

 

広がる銀河の中に 描いた二つの星座をつないで
Hirogaru ginga no naka ni Egaita futatsu no seiza wo tsunaide
In the spreading Milky Way, two of the painted constellations connect.

 

胸が苦しくなるだけ… こんなに言葉が震える
何度も悲しませたけど 君が愛しくて
Mune ga kanashiku naru dake... konna ni kotoba ga furueru
Nando mo kanashimaseta kedo Kimi ga aishikute
My heart is suffering... and my words are quivering.
No matter how many times it makes me sad, I love you.

 

今も二人は あの日と同じ 凍りついたまま 壊さないで
Ima mo futari ha Ano hi to onaji Kooritsuita mama Kowasanai de
Now, the two of us are frozen, just like that day. Please don't break.

 

白く細い肩抱きしめて 二人で解けていたい
揺れる心馬車のようで 踊らされてしまう
淡く幻想の中に咲く 鮮やかな花に
少し惑わされただけ
Shiroku hosoi kata dakishimete Futari de toketeitai
Yureru kokoro basha no you de Odorasareteshimau
Awaku gensou no naka ni saku Azayaka na hana ni
Sukoshi madowasareta dake
I want the two of us to melt away as I hold your thin white shoulder.
The trembling carriage of the heart makes us dance.
The brilliant flowers blooming in the faint dream
Left me a little confused.

 

果てしなく白い世界から 二人で消えてしまおう
揺れる心馬車にのせて 回れよメリーゴーランド
やがて来る春の香りさえ 連れてゆけるから
君の優しい笑顔で 少し惑わされただけ
Hateshinaku shiroi sekai kara Futari de kieteshimaou
Fureru kokoro basha ni nosete Megure yo merry-go-round
Yagate kuru haru no kaori sae Tsureteyukeru kara
Kimi no yasashii egao de Sukoshi madowasareta dake
Let's disappear from this endless white world.
We ride on the trembling carriage of the heart, the revolving merry-go-round. The scent of the spring that has finally come leads us away, and
I'm a bit beguiled by your gentle smile.

最後に僕から君へ たったひとつの贈り物
気に入ってくれるなんて思ってないけど
胸いっぱいの気持ちを 頭いっぱいの記憶を
どうかその手で その目で触れて
君が落としたものの大きさに 気づいてほしい
Saigo ni boku kara kimi he Tatta hitotsu no okurimono
Ki ni ittekureru nante omottenai kedo
Mune ippai no kimochi wo Atama ippai no kioku wo
Dou ka sono te de Sono me de furete
Kimi ga otoshita mono no okisa ni Kizuite hoshii
I've just one last gift to give to you.
Though I don't think you had much interest in me,
My heart is full of feelings, and my head is full of memories.
Please, touch me with that hand, and with those eyes.
I want to understand the importance of the things you lost.

 

きっと僕の初恋は君だっていうことぐらい 君は気づいていたんだよね?
精一杯の背伸びで 君を守れたような気になってた 僕を笑って
Kitto boku no hatsukoi ha kimi datte iu koto gurai Kimi ha kizuiteita n
da yo ne?
Seippai no senobi de Kimi wo mamoreta you na ki ni natteta Boku wo waratte
Surely you at least realised that you were my first love, right?
I smile while I stand as high on my toes as I could, fretting over you as if
I'm protecting you.

 

Here is my heart
It's full of love for you, you see?
Feel it with your fingers
The warmth stays on your hands

 

Here is my head
It's full of memories of you
See it in your mind's eye
Too late to cry over me

窓を開ければいつもと同じ 時間で止まっている
灰色の空 枯れ木とあなた
まだ 降り続く雨の中…
Mado wo akereba itsumo to onaji Jikan de tomatteiru
Haiiro no sora Karegi to anata
Mada Furitsuzuku ame no naka...
When I open the window, everything stops and is the same as ever.
The ashen sky, the dried trees, and you,
Are still in the continually-falling rain.

 

今静かに涙が あなたを伝って落ちた
思い出は 綺麗なままで 胸にしまって
Ima shizuka ni namida ga Anata wo tsutatteochita
Omoide ha Kirei na mama de Mune ni shimatte
Now, my tears silently fall, following you.
The memories, so beautiful, are shut away in my chest.

 

途切れた愛と記憶だけ 抱きしめ夢に重ねた
こんなに愛して愛されていたけれど
願いは叶わない この雨が止むまでは
Togireta ai to kioku dake Dakishime yume ni kasaneta
Konna ni aishite aisareteita keredo
Negai ha kanawanai Kono ame ga yamu made ha
The interrupted love and the memories only overlap in the dreams I embrace.
Like this, I love you, and you love me, but
My wish won't come true until this rain stops.

 

鮮やか過ぎるからもう見えなくて
あなたを抱きしめ今眠りたい
失った時間を もう一度
この手に取り戻すため
Azayakasugiru kara mou mienakute
Anata wo dakishime ima nemuritai
Ushinatta jikan wo Mou ichido
Kono te ni torimodosu tame
Because it's all far too brilliant, I can't see anymore.
I embrace you, and now, I just want to sleep.
I want the time I lost
To return to my hands once more.

 

雲間に覗く光が 濡れた瞳を照らし
溢れ出すあなたの愛が 胸に染み渡る
Kumoma ni nozoku hikari ga Nureta hitomi wo terashi
Afuredasu anata no ai ga Mune ni shimiwataru
The light peeking between the rifts in the clouds illuminate your wet eyes.
Your overflowing love penetrates my heart.

 

流れる涙と時間さえ 綺麗な花で飾って
永遠にこのまま閉じ込めてしまいたい
声の届かない 思い出の中だけに
Nagareru namida to jikan sae Kirei na hana de kazatte
Eien ni kono mama tojikometeshimaitai
Koe no todokanai omoide no naka dake ni
I want to lock away this eternity,
Where the tears we cry and even time itself is decorated in lovely flowers
Here in these memories my voice can't reach.

 

あなたを見つめたまま 動けない
愛しているから 触れずにいたい
夢なら夢のまま醒めないで
このまま記憶に鍵を
Anata wo mitsumeta mama Ugokenai
Aishiteiru kara Furezu ni itai
Yume nara yume no mama samenai de
Kono mama kioku ni kagi wo
Gazing at you, I'm unable to move.
Because I love you, it hurts that I can't touch you.
If this is a dream, please don't let me wake.
Give me the key to my memories.

 

鮮やか過ぎるからもう見えなくて
あなたを抱きしめ今眠りたい
夢なら夢のまま枯れないで
変わらない未来を描くため
Azayakasugiru kara mou mienakute
Anata wo dakishime ima nemuritai
Yume nara yume no mama karenai de
Kawaranai mirai wo egaku tame
Because it's all far too brilliant, I can't see anymore.
I embrace you, and now, I just want to sleep.
If this is a dream, then you'll never die.
So that I can paint out an unchanging future,

 

あなたに贈ろう この花束を
全ての感謝と愛を込めて
ありがとう いつか もう一度
会えると信じて歌おう

Subete no kansha to ai wo komete

I'll send to you this bouquet
With all my gratitude and love.
Thank you. I believe that, someday,
We'll meet again, and I sing...

 

I sing your love.
I believe in you.

I want your love.
I sing your love
I believe in you

I sing your love.
I believe in you.

The things I believe, and the courage passing through me...
Even if it all becomes my enemy,
I'll always believe in my own universe.
There will, without a doubt, be people that understand me.

In the spreading Milky Way,
I'm swallowed up in dreams so it seems I'll disappear,
And my feelings are stifled.

 

胸に熱く輝いた 揺るぎない誓いを
この空に捧げたら 物語は始まる
あぁ星を集めて
Mune ni atsuku kagayaita Yuruginai chikai wo
Kono sora ni sasagetara Monogatari ha hajimaru
Aa hoshi wo atsumete
If I offer up the steady pledge shining hotly in my chest
To this sky, the tale will begin.
Ah... so gather the stars.

 

風が円を描き始め
あなたはまた 予感に潰される
渦巻く混沌の中に 迷い込んで
いつかは僕の手を掴む
Kaze ga en wo egakihajime
Anata ha mata Jokan ni tsubusareru
Uzumaku konton no naka ni Mayoikonde
Itsuka ha boku no te wo tsukamu
The wind begins to paint in round
The premonition you are still caught in.
Lost in the whirling chaos,
Someday, you'll grab my hand.

 

さぁ広がる銀河の闇の中を
光で汚して
もう自分さえも止められない
熱いこの想い
Saa hirogaru ginga no yami no naka wo
Hikari de yogoshite
Mou jibun sae mo tomerarenai
Atsui kono omoi
Yes, the darkness of the spreading Milky Way
Is sullied by the light.
I can't stop even these hot feelings
On my own anymore.

 

いつかきっと巡り会う 運命だと信じて
今腕を 握りしめ 旅立つその前に
約束交わして
Itsuka kitto meguriau Sadame1 da to shinjite
Ima ude wo Nigirishime Tabidatsu sono mae ni
Yakusoku kawashite
I believe that someday, we will meet again, because it's our fate.
Now, hold to my arms before we begin our journey,
And exchange a vow with me.

 

Brave 信じる事を恐れず前に歩いていこう
Brave 涙は強さ 剣は弱さの証 だから今旅立とう
Brave   Shinjiru koto wo osorezu mae ni aruiteikou
Brave   Namida ha tsuyosa Tsurugi ha yowasa no akashi Dakara ima tabidatou
Brave   Without fearing what you believe in, walk on ahead.
Brave   Tears are strength. Swords are testimony of weakness. So now, travel
on ahead.

 

胸に熱く輝いた 揺るぎない誓いを
この空に捧げたら 物語は始まる
Mune ni atsuku kagayaita Yuruginai chikai wo
Kono sora ni sasagetara Monogatari ha hajimaru
If I offer up the steady pledge shining hotly in my chest
To this sky, the tale will begin.

 

刹那に負けないスピードで 銀河を駆け抜け
輝く星をつなぎ 星座を描け
Setsuna ni makenai speed de Ginga wo kakenuke
Kagayaku hoshi wo tsunagi Mirai2 wo egake
With speed that surpasses the momentary, the Milky Way rushes on ahead
And paints a future filled with shining stars.

Rhapsody of the Darkness

 

 

 

 

 

Life Before Death, Truth is Soul
blood is silent, Endless love

 

もう壊れてゆくだけ
蔦の大蛇が締め付ける
薄れ行く意識の中さえ罪を数えて
Mou kowareteyuku dake
Tsuta no daija ga shimetsukeru
Usureyuku ishiki no naka sae tsumi wo kazoete
The serpent of ivy tightens
Only around that which is already breaking.
Even while in this fading state of consciousness, my sins are counted.

 

Ah 綺麗な思い出にも 犠牲があること
何も知らずに仮面で隠した 僕を呑み込むがいい
Ah Kirei na omoide ni mo Gisei ga aru koto
Nani mo shirazu ni kamen de kakushita Boku wo nomikomu ga ii
Ah, there was sacrifice even in the lovely memories.
Without knowing anything, I hid behind a mask. If only it would completely
swallow me up...

 

引き裂かれた二人はその理由も知らずに
そう離れ行くだけの運命
翼の折れた堕天使のように
闇の底へ堕ちて行く
Hikisakareta futari ha sono wake1 mo shirazu ni
Sou hanareyuku dake no sadame2
Tsubasa no oreta datenshi no you ni
Yami no soko he ochiteyuku
And we, torn apart, without even knowing the reason for the fate
The fate in which we are only to be separated...
Like fallen angels with broken wings,
We fall deep into darkness.

 

何が狂わせてゆくのか?
歪み時間は繰り返された
終わりなきシナリオの中へ
染み渡る赤い血を…
doll…rebirth…fact…blood…
Nani ga kuruwaseteyuku no ka?
Yugami toki3 ha kurikaesareta
Owarinaki scenario no naka he
Shimiwataru akai chi wo...
doll...rebirth...fact...blood...
What has driven me mad?
The distorted times continue, over and over,
And in the midst of that never-ending scenario,
The red blood spreads...
doll...rebirth...fact...blood...

 

Life Before Death, Truth is Soul
blood is silent, Endless love

 

Ah 綺麗な心のまま 一つになれたら
二つの派閥の存在さえも 全て消えてしまう
Ah Kirei na kokoro no mama Hitotsu ni naretara
Futatsu no habatsu no sonzai sae mo Subete kieteshimau
Ah, if our hearts could become one beautiful heart,
Even the factions that divide us would disappear completely.

引き裂かれた二人はその理由も知らずに
そう離れ行くだけの運命
翼の折れた堕天使のように
闇の底へ堕ちて
Hikisakareta futari ha sono wake mo shirazu ni
Sou hanareyuku dake no sadame
Tsubasa no oreta datenshi no you ni
Yami no soko he ochiteyuku
And we, torn apart, without even knowing the reason for the fate
The fate in which we are only to be separated...
Like fallen angels with broken wings,
We fall deep into darkness.

 

止められない 涙を 溢れ出す記憶を
もう言葉に換えられない
愛したあなたを今 強くこの手で抱きしめて
Tomerarenai Namida wo Afuredasu kioku wo
Mou kotoba ni kaerarenai
Aishita anata wo ima Tsuyoku kono te de dakishimete
These tears that can't stop, and these overflowing memories,
Won't take the place of the words.
I'll hold you, who I love, tightly with this hand.

 

Life Before Death, Truth is Soul
blood is silent, Endless love

夢なら覚めないで 側にいたい
もう少しこのままで
まだあなたのその手を離す勇気はないから
Yume nara samenai de Soba ni itai
Mou sukoshi kono mama de
Mada anata no sono te wo hanasu yuuki ha nai kara
If this is a dream, please don't wake me. I want to be at your side,
Just for a little longer, like this,
Because I still don't have the courage to let go of your hand.

 

掛け替えのない笑顔で見つめられる度に
Kakegae no nai egao de mitsumerareru tabi ni
Every time you looked at me with that smile that I would never trade for
anything

 

あなたからこの時間を奪う事に躊躇いながら
限りあるものの大切さを教えられてた
Anata kara kono jikan wo ubau koto ni tamerainagara
Kagiri aru mono no taisetsusa wo oshierareteta
While slowly the time you had slipped haltingly away,
I learned the importance of the few things I had.

 

飾られた切り花
皮肉なほど 綺麗に咲くものね
枯れてしまうその前に心に焼き付けたい
Kazarareta kiribana
Hiniku na hodo Kirei ni saku mono ne
Kareteshimau sono mae ni kokoro ni yakitsuketai
The decorative cut flowers
Bloomed so beautifully it was ironic.
Before they wither away, I want them to impress upon my heart.

 

どうして夢を見れば見るほど 傷つく人も増えるのだろう?
うつむかないで 見つめてほしい 僕をそして未来を
Doushite yume wo mireba miru hodo Kizutsuku hito mo fueru no darou?
Utsumukanai de Mietsumete hoshii Boku wo soshite mirai wo
Why is it that when I try to dream, the number of people that hurt increases?
Please don't hang your head. I want you to look at me, and at the future.

 

泣きながら笑うあなた 漏れた吐息 口で塞いで
「さよなら」の言葉は言わせない
僕はここにいる もう離しはしない
Nakinagara warau anata Moreta tameiki Kuchi de fusaide
"Sayonara" no kotoba ha iwasenai
Boku ha koko ni iru Mou hanashi ha shinai
You, smiling as you cried, stopped the escaping sighs.
I won't say "goodbye".
I'm right here... I won't let you go.

 

そう永遠の時間なんてあるわけないと分かっていた
でも信じてみたかった 奇蹟を夢を可能性を
あなたの為 未来の為に
さぁ最後の歌を… 今
Sou eien no toki1 nante aru wake nai to wakatteita
Demo shinjitemitakatta Kiseki wo yume wo kanousei wo
Anata no tame Mirai no tame ni
Saa saigo no uta wo... ima
I know that there is no such thing as 'eternity',
But I want to believe, in miracles, and in dreams, and in possibilities.
For you, and for the future,
Now, this last song...

 

なぜ人は愛し合って傷つけまた許し合うのか?
何度でも繰り返す愛こそ求めた永遠
Naze hito ha aishiatte kizutsuke mata yurushiau no ka?
Nando demo kurikaesu ai koso motometa eien
Why do people love each other, and why do they forgive each other for
the pain?
No matter how many times it happens, they still search eternity for love.

 

限りある時の中であなたは泣いて泣いて笑って
本当に大切なものを教えてくれた
Kagiri aru jikan no naka de anata ha naite naite waratte
Hontou ni taisetsu na mono wo oshietekureta
In this limited time, you cry, and cry, and smile,
And that taught me what my most important thing is.
