合格祈願<br>
<br>
失礼ながら、私は神様を信じていません。<br>
私が無邪気に神様を信じるには、悲しい出来事が多過ぎました。けれど、私が今生かされていることには【何が意味がある】<br>
<br>
そう感じると共に、人生を懸けてそれを証明したいとも思っています。<br>
<br>
この絵馬は、その決意表明です！<br>
<br>
死はいつも水の貌で･･･<br>
<br>
今･･･　穏やかに子守唄う水面<br>
侭･･･　微睡むのは八十の島々<br>
<br>
面影<br>
<br>
どこか懐かしくもあり　酷く哀しくもあると<br>
風が掠う雫<br>
<br>
それは——<br>
青い日の記憶　大地が揺れ 揺れ揺れ揺れ　揺れた<br>
けたたましく　飛び交う　怒号<br>
立ち上がる　海原<br>
死は素知らぬ貌で押し寄せた<br>
<br>
人が築き上げたモノを　いとも容易く薙ぎ倒し<br>
愛していた　日々の営み　大切な《祖母と両親と姉妹と愛犬》を<br>
まだ冷たい弥生の水底に<br>
<br>
呑み込んだ･･････<br>
<br>
故郷を離れて　遠い空の下<br>
美しい夕凪に　世界を呪った<br>
<br>
何故･･･　自分だけが？<br>
生かされた意味も見い出せず･･･<br>
<br>
罪を･･･　感じたまま･･･<br>
自堕落に生きていた･･･<br>
<br>
けれど<br>
<br>
——豪雨で崩れた 土砂に呑まれて<br>
再び《遠縁の養父母》を喪った<br>
<br>
果て<br>
<br>
絶望を焼べて　燃ゆる火が<br>
この胸の奥に灯った<br>
<br>
誰かを助ける為に<br>
与えられた命を燃やそう<br>
一度は消え去った<br>
明日への《願い》を<br>
《背負い鞄》に詰めて<br>
<br>
駈　け　上　が　る<br>

Exam Success<br>
Excuse me for being blunt, but I do not believe in the divine.<br>
I have experienced too much tragedy to put my innocent faith in god.<br>
However, [there is some meaning] to the fact that I am still alive.<br>
I want to spend the rest of my life becoming living proof of that.<br>
This Ema is a declaration of my resolve!<br>

<br>
<span class="lyric-italic">Faith in the future, and an oath to the gods. The wish of an examinee.<br>
With vestiges of a distant hometown, the prologue begins.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="lyric-title">Death takes the form of Water…</span><br>
<br>
Now…the water surface hums a calm lullaby…<br>
Luring… numerous islands to lazy slumber…<br>
<br>
Their vestiges<br>
<br>
Are somehow nostalgic<br>
Yet so very heartbreaking<br>
<br>
The wind sweeps away a tear<br>
<br>
Those are-<br>
Memories of a blue day<br>
The ground shook, trembled, shook and trembled<br>
<br>
With  angry roars  above us<br>
The ocean <br>
soars up<br>
<br>
And death approaches us with not a care in the world<br>
Tearing down all that mankind has built up with ease<br>
<br>
The ordinary days that I have loved<br>
And my important <grandmother, parents, sisters and pet dog>[family]<br>
Were all swallowed<br>
Into the depths of the cold waters late spring…<br>
<br>
I left my hometown and found myself under a distant sky<br>
Cursing the world against a beautiful dusk<br>
<br>
Why me…and only me?<br>
I couldn’t find the meaning of being left alive…<br>
<br>
Feeling throbs of guilt…<br>
I lived in depravity…<br>
<br>
However<br>
<br>
-During a landslide caused by heavy rain<br>
I once again lost <my distantly related foster parents>[my family]<br>
<br>
At the end of it<br>
<br>
My feelings of despair sparked a blazing flame<br>
Shining brightly within me<br>
<br>
I shall dedicate this life that I was given<br>
To save many more<br>
Though once lost<br>
My reignited wish for tomorrow<br>
Is now crammed into my backpack<br>
And I run up- <br>
<br>
<span class="lyric-spoken">“I see…so this is what people have come to call Yomotsu Hirasaka, known for breaking the will of many visitors. That explains the trending!”</span><br>

[[Kami to Watashi no Ikiru Michi|Left Choice (How I choose to Live with God):<br>There’s no changing the past where the [earthquake] has occurred.<br>

Before its [divine might], your faith is a mere trifling matter. <br>
