Lyrics
Japanese Rōmaji Translation

眼を閉じる
此処は蒼い 朱鷺が鳴く 心の底
嵐が連れ去った 明日を感じたいから
剥がれ朽ちる絵と

記憶からまだ涙を消せない
この闇の音も
きっとそれはもう癒えない
何処かで知りながら

記憶からまた涙を落とし
周りを見渡す
きっとそこにはもう誰の
為でもない今が独り

消えない傷でも綺麗でしょ?
夢が枯れてもまだ愛せるの?
確かに煌く明日じゃない
壊れそうなその意思は
振り返る為の傷じゃない

記憶からまだ涙を消せない
この闇の音も
きっとそれはもう癒えない
何処かで知りながら

壊れ行く 夜が 目の前で
何もかも捨てた お前は月
泣いて眠ればいい

過ちが生き方を変えはしない
気高く真っ白な 蓮を咲かせ
背に描いた 意思はもう揺るがない
自由な空 眼を閉じよう
What is believing?

Me o tojiru
Koko wa aoi Toki ga naku Kokoro no soko
Arashi ga tsuresatta Asu o kanjitai kara
Hagare kuchiru e to

Kioku kara mada namida o kesenai
Kono yami no oto mo
Kitto sore wa mō ienai
Doko ka de shiri nagara

Kioku kara mata namida o otoshi
Mawari o miwatasu
Kitto soko ni wa mō dare no
Tame de mo nai ima ga…hitori

Kienai kizu demo kireidesho?
Yume ga karete mo mada aiseru no?
Tashika ni kirameku asu janai
Koware sō na sono ishi wa
Furikaeru tame no kizu janai

Kioku kara mada namida o kesenai
Kono yami no oto mo
Kitto sore wa mō ienai
Doko ka de shiri nagara

Koware iku Yoru ga Me no mae de
Nanimokamo suteta Omae wa tsuki
Naite nemureba ii

Ayamachi ga ikikata o kae wa shinai
Kedakaku masshiro na Hasu o sakase
Se ni egaita Ishi wa mō yuruganai
Jiyū na sora Me o tojiyō
What is believing?

I close my eyes
This place is blue
The toki bird cries
The storm took my heart away
Wanting to feel tomorrow along with the picture
That's now peeling and rotting away

Can't erase the tears from memory
Even this sound of darkness probably won't heal anymore
Somehow knowing that…

Tears come running down again from the memory
Look around
There's probably no one to live for now…..alone

The un-erasable wound
Isn't it as beautiful?
If the dream withered, will you still love?
It's true; tomorrow will not be all glitters
Your weak intention is not a scar, giving you a reason to look back

Can't erase the tears from memory
Even this sound of darkness probably won't heal anymore
Somehow knowing that…

It is breaking
The night
Throwing everything away in front of your eyes
You are the moon
You shall cry and sleep

A mistake won't change one's way of life
Be proud and let the pure white lotus blossom
My intentions inscribed on my back won't be shaken anymore
The free sky
Close your eyes
What is believing?
