明方の空に無垢なりし子らよ 罪を知らぬままワルツを踊れ
八衢の嘘を千々に書き見出す 首を斬るような真実の中
akegata no sora ni muku narishi ko-ra yo tsumi wo shiranu mama warutsu wo odore
yachimata no uso wo chiji ni kakimiidasu kubi wo kiru you na shinjitsu no naka
O, innocent children of the dawning sky, dance your waltz, while you still not know of sin
Write up a multitude of lies inside a truth so harsh it slashes your throat
見よ クライシスは此処に ただ無知なるが故に
いと昏き眼開けど まだ目覚めは知らずに
miyo kuraishisu wa koko ni tada muchi naru ga yue ni
ito kuraki me akedo mada mezame wa shirazu ni
Look, there’s a crisis right here, all because of ignorance
Opening pitch black eyes, they do not know what it’s like to be awake
届けよう 遥か空に羽で描いたＮＥＷＳ
どうぞ手に取って 鮮やかな嘘は好きでしょう？
誰も彼も目を逸らした望まれぬ事実は
そっと書き足して 真実が追いつけないよう
todokeyou haruka sora ni hane de egaita news
douzo te ni totte azayaka na uso wa suki deshou
daremo karemo me wo sorashita nozomarenu jijitsu wa
sotto kakitashite shinjitsu ga oitsukenai you
May they reach, the news from the distant skies, written with a feather!
Don’t be shy, reach for them! You like those colorful lies, right?
Everyone has shut their eyes from the truth they don’t want to see
And I write it in, so the truth doesn’t catch up first
夕影の赤に無垢なりし子らよ 誰も赦さぬと正義を謳う
八千代にと祈ろう血塗られた紙面に 目を抉るような真実の中
yuukage no aka ni muku narishi ko–ra yo dare mo yurusanu to seigi wo utau
yachiyo ni to inorou chi nurareta kami ni me wo eguru you na shinjitsu no naka
O, innocent children of the red setting sun, sing your praises of unforgiving justice
Pray for eternity with a blood soaked paper inside a truth so harsh it gouges out your eyes
見よ エレガンスは無価値 ただ人なるが故に
miyo eregansu wa mugachi tada hito naru ga yue ni
Look, elegance is worthless, because they’re nothing but people
届けよう 誰の為に塗り固めたＮＥＷＳ
張り裂けそうな痛み 他人事ならば好きでしょう？
間違いでも良いなんて 嘯いてみたけど
誰が書き直す？ 偽りに追いつかれたなら
todokeyou dare no tame ni nurikatameta news
harisakesou na itami hitogoto naraba suki deshou
machigai de mo ii nante usobuite mita kedo
dare ga kakinaosu itsuwari ni oitsukareta nara
May they reach, those news, for whose sake are they written?
When it’s about others, you like that piercing pain, right?
“I don’t care if it’s true” I boasted, but
Who’s gonna correct that? Once the lies have caught up…
いつか繰り返す営みから 何を見出せるのだろうか……？
この くだらない愚かしい残酷で不愉快な 愛おしい真実から！
itsuka kurikaesu itonami kara nani wo miidaseru no darou ka
kono kudaranai orokashii zankoku de fuyukai na itooshii shinjitsu kara
What can I learn through my actions, that will someday repeat themselves…?
This truth is stupid, idiotic, cruel and mean, but alas, it is the sweet truth!
――届いて！
todoite
So, let it reach!!
遥か空に羽で描いたＮＥＷＳ
どうぞ手に取って 鮮やかな色が見えるから
誰の為に？ そんなこと思う暇はもう無い
私は書き見出す 真実も追いつけないまま
haruka sora ni hane de egaita news
douzo te ni totte azayaka na iro ga mieru kara
dare no tame ni sonna koto omou hima wa mou nai
watashi wa kakimidasu shinjitsu mo oitsukenai
May they reach, the news from the distant skies, written with a feather!
Don’t be shy, reach for them! You like those colorful lies, right?
“For who am I doing it?” Well, I don’t have time to think about it
As I still can’t chase up to the truth I write
