|jp=(「私は･･･生涯彼女を愛することはないだろう･･･<br>
しかし･･･彼女という存在は･･･私にとって特別な意味を孕むだろう･･･<br>
何故なら･･･生まれてくる娘の名は･･･遠い昔にもう決めてあるのだから･･･」)<br>
<br>
――そして･･･幾度目かの楽園の扉が開かれる･･････<br>
<br>
白い大地に　緋い雫で　描かれた軌跡　罪の道標<br>
古びた金貨　握り締めたまま　這い擦りながらも　男は笑った<br>
<br>
廻るように　浮かんでくる　愛しい笑顔　すぐ其処に<br>
夢幻の果てに　手を伸ばす様に　扉に手を掛けた<br>
<br>
――そして･･･彼の現実は朽ち果てる･･････<br>
<br>
少女が小さく　咳をする度　胸の痛みが　春を遠ざける<br>
襤褸い毛布でも　夢は見られる　愛を知った日の　温もり忘れない<br>
<br>
眠るように　沈んでゆく　愛しい世界　水底に<br>
夢幻の果てが　手を招く様に　扉は開かれた<br>
<br>
――そして･･･彼女の現実は砕け散る･･････<br>
<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではどんな花が咲くの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではどんな鳥が歌うの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園では体はもう痛くないの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではずっと一緒にいられるの？<br>
<br>
(ねぇ･･･お父様)<br>
<br>
窓を叩く夜風　弾む吐息　薄暗い部屋　楽しそうな談笑<br>
虚ろな月明かり　白い吐息　薄汚い部屋　痩せた膝の少女<br>
<br>
幾度となく繰り返される問いかけ　尽きることのない『楽園』へ興味<br>
嗚呼･･･少女にはもう見えていないのだ　傍らに横たわるその屍体が･･･<br>
<br>
(「ねえ、パパ」<br>
「なんだい、エル？」<br>
「明日はなんの日か知ってる？」<br>
「世界で一番可愛い女の子の誕生日」<br>
「私ね、お誕生日プレゼントは絵本がいいと思うわ」)<br>
<br>
･･･男の夢想は残酷な現実となり　･･･少女の現実は幽幻な夢想となる<br>
･･･男の楽園は永遠の奈落となり　･･･少女の奈落は束の間の楽園となる<br>
<br>
･･･お父様——　その楽園ではどんな恋が咲くの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではどんな愛を歌うの？<br>
･･･お父様——　その楽園では心はもう痛くないの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではずっと一緒にいられるの？<br>
<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではどんな花が咲くの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではどんな鳥が歌うの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園では体はもう痛くないの？<br>
ねぇ･･･お父様　その楽園ではずっと一緒にいられるの？<br>
<br>

(Elysion)<br>
|en=I...probably never loved her in my lifetime...<br>
However, her existence bears special meaning to me.<br>
Why? Because the newborn child’s name was decided a long time ago...<br>
<br>
-And...the umpteenth door to paradise is opened...<br>
<br>
Elysion...<br>
<br>
A trail drawn upon the white earth with crimson droplets%nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sin’s signpost<br>
Grasping an old and battered coin, the man smiled even as he crawled on<br>
<br>
The lovely smile that appears swirling in his mind is right there<br>
As if reaching his hand towards the end of fantasies, he put his hand on the door<br>
<br>
-And...his reality withered...<br>
Come down to the Elysion...<br>
<br>
Every time the girl coughed lightly, the pain in her chest distances herself from spring<br>
Even in a shabby blanket, she can dream. She won’t forget the warmth of days that knew love<br>
<br>
Like sleeping, she sinks towards the lovely world at water bottom<br>
As if the end of fantasies is beckoning, the door opened<br>
<br>
-And...her reality shattered...<br>
Come down to the Elysion...<br>
<br>
Hey...papa, what kinds of flowers bloom in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, what kinds of birds sing in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, do our bodies stop hurting in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, can we stay together forever in that paradise?<br>
Hey..papa<br>
<br>
The night wind battered at the window. Shaky breath. A dimly lit room. Cheery-sounding conversation.<br>
Empty moonlight. White breath. A dirty room. A girl with thin knees.<br>
<br>
Questions that are repeated over and over again. Never ending curiosity for『paradise』.<br>
Ah...the girl couldn’t see it anymore – the corpse lying beside her...<br>
<br>
Hey...papa.<br>
What is it, El?<br>
Do you know what tomorrow is?
The birthday of the cutest girl in the world.<br>
I’d like a picture book for my birthday present...<br>
<br>
...the man’s dream becomes a cruel reality ...the girl’s reality becomes an illusive dream<br>
...the man’s paradise becomes an eternal hell ...the girl’s hell becomes a temporary paradise<br>
<br>
...papa- what kinds of passions bloom in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, what kinds of love are sung of in that paradise?<br>
...papa- do our hearts stop hurting in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, can we stay together forever in that paradise?<br>
<br>
Hey...papa, what kinds of flowers bloom in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, what kinds of birds sing in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, do our bodies stop hurting in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa, can we stay together forever in that paradise?<br>
Hey...papa<br>
