Lyrics

Your sternness always stems from gentleness
And I felt a warm light behind those harsh words

I recall plenty of painful things...
But I made it to where I am, free of doubts, sharing smiles and laughter along the way...

Nobody knows what’ll happen in the future...
But you’ve always been behind me, giving me the push needed...

To choose the path of least regrets, right?
But who will watch your back?

Tiny feathers gather one by one, forming a white wing
Fragile lives are lost one by one, leaving behind a black wing

Though a bird may be born to soar across the skies
I’m sure it won’t be able to fly well with only one wing
But you will shoulder the determination of all that is white and black
And guide everyone to great distances beyond the walls

And so...I will die....believing that...
Oh...how I wish this would last...but...it seems like my time is up...
I have....one last thing...I’d like to tell you...
No...nevermind...it’s nothing...

Tiny feathers gather one by one, forming a white wing
Fragile lives are lost one by one, leaving behind a black wing

In my final moments, did I appear as a brave soldier to your eyes?
Don’t forget that you have the light of dual wings sprouting from your back

And if I were to give a name to the light I felt...yes...it would be...hope...

あなたの厳しさはいつも きっと優しさの裏返しで
辛辣な言葉の向こうにも 温かなヒカリを私は感じていました

(Die Flugel des Lichts)

思い返せば 辛い事もあったけれど・・・
迷いなく 笑い合い 歩んでこれた気がした・・・

先のことなど 誰にも分らないけれど・・・
少しでも 後悔の 少ない道を選べるように・・・

背中を押してくれていたのでしょう?

そんなあなたの背中 誰が護るのでしょう?

小さな羽根が一つずつ 集まって 象る(白い翼)
小さな命一つずつ 喪って 遺した(黒い翼)

(鳥)は飛ぶ為に 生まれてきたとしても
片翼では きっと上手く 空は飛べないでしょう
全ての白と黒の 意志をあなたは背負って
遥か彼方 壁を超えて 皆を導いて逝くのでしょう

私は・・・ その事を・・・ 信じて逝きます・・・
嗚呼・・・ 名残り・・・ 惜しいけど・・・ もう・・・ 時間のようです
最期に・・・ もう一つ・・・ 伝えたい想いが・・・
いえ・・・ やっぱり・・・ なんでもないです

小さな羽根が一つずつ 集まって 象る(白い翼)
小さな命一つずつ 喪って 遺した(黒い翼)

最期の《瞬間》 あなたの瞳に 映る私 勇敢な(兵士)でしたか?
忘れないで あなたの背に 羽搏くのは 対なる双翼のヒカリ
私が感じたヒカリの名は・・・ 名付けるなら・・・ そう・・・ 希望
