Lyrics

In the dusk, amid the wintry wind.
The shadow of the girl.
Suddenly, the prologue begins.


Before I could catch myself...
I ran out in a hurry...
Spurred on by my heart in turmoil...

Never turning back...
To gaze at the white walls...
Fading into the distance...


Surrounded by painful signs...
Of a season symbolic of <life> fading away...

The approaching darkness...
Seemed like it’d never clear up...


I tried desperately to hold on
To
         my
                   heart
                          falling
                          into
                                             shambles...

This long slope leading towards the starry sky...
Seemed like an eternity to me...

Flowers blossom only to wither...
A scene repeated countless times since the <era> of gods...
I have never once...thought of that sight as beautiful...

The sunlight of spring reveals itself after long
Only for mock shadows to relentlessly trample each other in pursuit of that light
I have never once...thought of that act as beautiful...

I’ve lived in resignation...
Never in want of anything...but...
I wasn’t able to give up...
On this one last wish...
So, holding it tightly to my chest..

I run up...

(In the dusk, amid the wintry wind.
The shadow of the girl.
Suddenly, the prologue begins.)

Kizukeba...
Kakedashiteita...
Yureugoku... kokoro no mama ni...

Toozakaru...
Shiroi kabe...
Ichido mo...
Furikaerazu ni...

[Inochi] ga... kieyuku kisetsu no...
Mune wo sasu... kehai no naka de...

Semari kuru... kurai yami...
Nido to... akenai you na ki ga shite...

Korogari ochisou na kokoro
Hisshi ni dakitometeita...

Hoshizora e to tsuzuku nagai sakamichi wa
Eien ni mo... omoeta kara...

Saku hana ya... chiri nuru wo...
Kamiyo no [toki] yori kurikaesu...
Watashi wa sore wo... utsukushii to wa... omotta koto ga nai...

Taezu... hisakata no... haru no hi wo...
Karisome no kage ga ubaiau...
Sono itonami wo... utsukushii to wa... omotta koto ga nai...

Akiramenagara... ikiteta...
Nani mo nozomanai you ni... soredemo...
Tebanasenakatta...
Saigo no negai wo...
Nigirishimete...
