Lyrics

悲しみに追いつかれぬよう　真っ直ぐに空を目指すよ
昨日なんて振り切る《速度》で
何の為に歌ってるの？　何の為に走って来た？
《命を燃やした証》を残そう･･････

夜の帳･･･　降りる岸辺で･･･　独り宵闇･･･　星を見ていた･･･
何処へ行っても･･･　異端だと弾かれ･･･　切れた唇･･･　風が凍みる･･･

No more rage... No more grief...
憎しみのない　理想の世界を　想い描けども･･･
望まれて　遣ってきた　その根拠さえもなく･･･
Love me do... Love me do...
叫び続けた･･･

哀しみに追いつかれぬよう　真っ直ぐに空を目指すよ
涙なんて振り切る《速度》で
何の為に生きているの？　何の為に生まれてきた？
《命を燃やす場所》を探そう･･････

その風に凍えてるのは･･･　血を流す硝子細工･･･
寧ろ檻の中震えてるのは･･･　嘘吐きな《自我》の影･･･

だ　か　ら

《現実》に追いつかれぬよう　真っ直ぐに《理想》を目指すよ
《燻っていた過去の自分》なんて振り切る《全速力》で
何の為に謳ってるの？　何の為に疾って来た？
《命を燃やし尽くした証》を遺そう･･････

やがて加速する白い吐息･･･　　煌めく花になり･･･
砕けては胸を刺す･･･　それでも･･･

群れた奴らが噂する　悪意の風に曝され　夜鷹はただ翔け昇る

死んでもいい　生きてるなら　燃えてやれ！

Kanashimi ni oitsukarenu you massugu ni sora wo mezasu yo
Kinou nante furikiru [SUPIIDO] de
Nanno tame ni utatteru no? Nanno tame ni hashittekita?
[Hoshi] wo nokosou.......

Yoru no tobari... oriru kishibe de... hitori yoiyami... hoshi wo miteita...
Doko e itte mo... itanda to hajikare... kireta kuchibiru... kaze ga shimiru...

No more rage... No more grief...
Nikushimi no nai risou no sekai wo omoi egakedo mo...
Nozomarete yattekita sono konkyosae mo naku...
Love me do... Love me do...
Sakebi tsuzuketa...

Kanashimi ni oitsukarenu you massugu ni sora wo mezasu yo
Namida nante furikiru [SUPIIDO] de
Nanno tame ni ikiteiru no? Nanno tame ni umaretekita?
[Hoshi] wo sagasou......

Sono kaze ni kogoeteru no wa... chi wo nagasu garasu zaiku...
Mushiro ori no naka furueteru no wa... usotsuki na omae no kage...

Da ka ra

[Kanashimi] ni oitsukarenu you massugu ni [sora] wo mezasu yo
[Kinou] nante furikiru [SUPIIDO] de
Nanno tame ni utatteru no? Nanno tame ni hashittekita?
[Hoshi] wo nokosou......

Yagate kasoku suru shiroi toiki... kirameku hana ni nari...
Kudakete wa mune wo sasu... soredemo...

Mureta yatsura ga uwasa suru akui no kaze ni sarasare yodaka wa tada kake noboru

Shinde mo ii ikiteru nara moeteyare!
