Lyrics
Bravely, with an azure song of parting, I shoot my lover[you] down...
Things forgotten from days long past, a scar torn apart
A cursed promise dwells in your heart
“If my end is inevitable, then I’d rather it be by your lovely hands...”
The irresistible darkness of impulse surrounded him...
The spiraling flames of a twisted world pierce the cycle of life and death
Bravely, with a crimson blood-stained kiss, I shoot my lover[you] down...
Have you forgotten anything?
An ancient legend – those who are wounded by the beast
Their bodies will be overtaken by its curse
Eventually, they shall transform into beasts themselves...
When was he hurt?
That incident goes back to the day the two of them met
He was wounded when he saved her
Everything began when they met...
Their meeting was a promise to loss
Azure flames of sadness dwell in her dried tears
And she released arrows glittering with silver
Again and again, until...he took his last breath...
Lost
In a world where I have lost my beloved
What colors do the flowers bloom in?
A cross-shaped flame that embraced the moon, intertwining thorns
Bravely, with a final arrow of white, I shoot myself down...
In a world where I have lost my beloved
What colors do the flowers bloom in?
