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.)
