Lyrics[]
ひび割れた夜に 幾星霜の空 映る僕たちは幻
もし叶うのなら 昨日とは違う 本当の僕をこの地に
僕ら生きてきたこと 彼方へ消えてく
錆びついたレール 君はただ立ちつくす
今この腕に流れる 碧い火があるなら
振り返る君の手を引いて
もう二度と離さないと 灰の星へ誓うよ
書き換える この詩を
生きていく意味を ここで探すなら
誰も悪を望みはしない
暗い森の中 深い闇の中
それも知らず僕らはいた
風と雲が光ると 信じたあの頃
無邪気な時には戻れない もう二度と
この世界で生きていく 理があるなら
その先に君を求めよう
何もかもが隠された この世界で生きるよ
僕だけの輝きを
嘆きの壁を砕き 赤茶けた砂覆う
いつか夢見た大地
逃げない もう そこへ
今この腕に流れる 赤い血があるなら
振り返る君の手を引いて
もう二度と離れないと 遠い星へ誓うよ
書き換える そのすべて

Hibiwareta yoru ni ikuseisou no sora utsuru boku-tachi wa maboroshi
Moshi kanau no nara kinou to wa chigau hontou no boku o kono chi ni
Bokura ikite kita koto kanata e kieteku

Ima kono ude ni nagareru aoi hi ga aru nara
Furikaeru kimi no te o hiite
Mou nido to hanasanai to hai no hoshi e chikau yo

Ikite yuku imi o koko de sagasu nara
Dare mo aku o nozomi wa shinai
Kurai mori no naka fukai yami no naka
Sore mo shirazu bokura wa ita
Kaze to kumo ga hikaru to shinjita ano koro
Mujaki na toki ni wa modorenai mou nido to
Kono sekai de ikite yuku kotowari ga aru nara

Mou nido to hanarenai to tooi hoshi e chikau yo
Kakikaeru sono subete
On a night that cracked apart, reflected in the sky of many years, we’re illusions.
If my wish does come true, put the real me, different from yesterday, on this ground.
The fact that we’ve lived will vanish into the yonder.
You simply stand still on the rusted railroad tracks.
Now, if there’s a blue fire running in my arms,
Then I’ll look back and pull you along by your hand.
I will vow to the ashen stars to never part from you again.
I will rewrite this poem.
If we search for the meaning of living here,
Then no one will wish us ill.
Within the dark forest, within the deep darkness,
We were there without even knowing so.
Back then, I believed that the wind and clouds shined,
I can’t ever return to that innocent time again
If there’s a reason for living in this world
Then I’ll seek you ahead of that
I’ll live on in this world where just about everything is hidden
For my own brilliance
I’ll smash the wall of grief and cover the auburn sand
I won’t flee from the land I dreamed of one day
I’m already going there
Now, if there’s red blood running in my arms
Then I’ll look back and pull you along by your hand
I will vow that we’ll never be apart again, to the distant stars
I will rewrite everything.
