Lyrics

Der Weg der Sehnsucht und die Leichen

That day humanity received a grim reminder----

The shadows moving forward in almost no light, each and every one of them feeling uneasy
The uncertain future blooms on thin ice, ready to be picked at any time
Just how many times have our napes been caressed by those cold hands upon night's arrival?

Turning our backs to the dusk, we instead chose to cling to the back of a burning hope
And we chased after the truth, knowing very well the path to it would also lead to hell

What are you willing to give up to make sure your dream comes true?
The devil sweetly whispers as we lay down corpses to make our path

"What's outside these walls?"
The truth we sought after in our younger days
Finally, it is within our grasp,
Just across the path of corpses

→ 《Crimson urge》 (An arrow) shoots along the tracks →
→ 《The resolution for freedom》 (The wings) will take flight →
→ 《Flower petals dedicated to our cause》 (Hearts) are tied up in a bundle, but →
→ It's too early to《offer them to truth's daybreak》 (sing a requiem) →
→ As the sun has yet to sink behind the horizon →
And we won't stop here
Onwards to what lies on the other side of the waves----

Ano hi jinrui wa omoidashita――

Usuyami no naka susumu kage wa dare mo kokoro motonaku
Futashikana mirai wa itsu datte hakuhyou no ue ni saku
Yoru wa otozureru tabi ni ikudo mo
Tsumetai te de oretachi no kubisuji wo yasashiku nadeta

Tasogare wo uragitte tomoru kibou no se ni sugari
Oi kaketa jigoku e to mukatteru to shitte mo

Yume no tsudzuki ga mitai nara omae wa nani wo sashidaseru
Akuma wa amaku sasayaita shikabane de michi wo tsukure
"Kono kabe no mukou ni nani ga aru?" osanaki hibi ni akogareta
Shinjitsu ga sugu soko ni aru shikabane no michi no saki ni――

[Yumiya] ga kake nuketa kiseki → [tsubasa] wo chirashite →

Taiyou wa mada shizunde inai no dakara → susumi tsudzukeru nami no kanata e――

あの日人類は思い出した―――

薄闇の中進む影は 誰も心許なく
不確かな未来は何時だって 薄氷の上に咲く
夜は訪れる度に幾度も
冷たい手で俺たちの首筋を 優しく撫でた

黄昏を裏切って 灯る希望の背に縋り
追い駆けた 地獄へと 向かってると知っても

夢の続きが見たいなら お前は何を差し出せる
悪魔は甘く囁いた 屍で道を作れ
「この壁の向こうに何がある?」 幼き日々に憧れた
真実がすぐそこにある 屍の道の先に――

《紅蓮の衝動》が翔け抜けた軌跡→ 《自由への覚悟》を散らして→ 《捧げられた花弁》を束ねても→
《手向けるべき真の暁》には早過ぎる→ 太陽はまだ沈んでいないのだから→ 進み続ける波の彼方へ――
