Lyrics
Romaji= Tobichitta akai iro Ikudo nuri kasanete mo Kono kawaki mita sarezu Nani mo kawaranai mama

Sore demo sore demo Ano kage wo mitsumeta

Yowakute yowakute masa tarinakute Mogakedo todokanai Kokyuu mo mama narazu ikiru riyuu ga Soko ni aru kagiri kogareru darou Yuragu antan no sekai kara zutto

Hai yoru itami mo sasai na dekigoto Karada ga tatoe kudakarete mo Koufuku matottaoraka na kemono ni Mujaki ni fumi niji rarete mo

Motomete motomete yamanai mono Furimuku maboroshi ni Hayari dasu shinzou wo kakae nagara Imawashii hodo ni yume mite shimau Fukai yami no soko hitomi wo tojita

Kokoro to yuu mono ga aru no naraba Sonzai wo miidasare Ugoki wo hajimeta sono toki kara (kuraki shin'en de) Negau koto nado ah ah

Yowakute yowakute mada tarinakute Mogakedo todokanai Kokyuu mo mama naranu kyou no mukou de Ano me ni aetara kirei darou Yuragu antan no sekai yori kitto Kanji= 飛び散った赤い色　幾度、 塗り重ねても この乾き満たされず 何も変わらない侭

其れでも　其れでも 彼の影を見つめた

水面から差し込む 光の様に遠くて 掴めることは 無いとしても

弱くて弱くて未だ足りなくて 藻掻けど届かない 呼吸も侭ならず生きる理由が 其処にある限り焦がれるだろう 揺らぐ暗澹の世界からずっと

這い寄る痛みも些細な出来事 身体が仮令砕かれても 幸福纏った愚かな獣に 無邪気に踏み躙られても

求めて求めて止まないもの 振り向く幻に 逸りだす心臓を抱えながら 忌まわしいほどに夢見てしまう 深い闇の底　瞳を閉じた

こころと云うものが在るのならば 存在を見出され 動きを始めたその時から(暗き深淵で) 願うことなど…

弱くて弱くて未だ足りなくて 藻掻けど届かない 呼吸も侭ならぬ今日の向こうで 彼の目に逢えたら…綺麗だろう 揺らぐ暗澹の世界よりきっと English= No matter how much the flickering crimson coats me It will never be enough to satisfy this drought Nothing ever changes

Even so, even so I gazed into his shadow

Distant like a ray of light that pierces into the water Impossible to catch Weak, weak and it is not enough Unreachable no matter how much I writhe

A longing as strong as A reason to live even when I’m unable to breathe From the trembling dark world, always This creeping pain too, only a trivial matter

Even if my body shatters Even if I am trampled in vain by the beast cloaked in happiness This yearning, yearning, will never stop

As the turning illusion holds this straying heart I saw a detestable dream And I closed my eyes in the depth of darkness

If the thing called heart does exist If I found its existence, from the time it began to move (In the abyss of darkness) Maybe, my wish…

Weak, weak and it is not enough Unreachable no matter how much I writhe In this day where I’m unable to breathe If I can meet his gaze… Wouldn’t it be beautiful? For sure, more than the trembling dark world.
