Lyrics
Like collecting stardust in this rotting world
I put together this poem of the time till scattering
Even those beautiful flowers in bloom are reduced to sand once past their prime
And fall towards their silent place of end
The silver hourglass filled with the glittering starry sky
Entrusting my body to pain and believing in the cycle of death and rebirth
I die while smiling..."I lived"
If my last selfish request could be granted, then please...
Dying in the middle of the night is lonely, so I don't want that
If possible, I'd like to be surrounded by the morning’s light
While feeling the breeze of a new day
Smiling, singing, and in your arms...
This last wavering azure flame
Disappears in your arms..."I loved"
Entrusting my body to pain and believing in the cycle of death and rebirth
I die while smiling..."I lived"
La La La La La La La La La La..."I loved"
