Japanese
Shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo

what else can I do besides avenge you?

Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumete ita

Afureru kanashimi wa kese nai kizuato ni

Wasure wa shinai to chikatta

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase

Subete wo keshsite mise you

Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru

Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

you told me

live as if you were to die tomorrow

feel as if you were to be reborn now

face as if you were to live forever

Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta

I had nothing to lose, nothing truth

Hakanai omoide ga yami ni ochite yuku

Saigo no hohoemi ga ukandewa kieru

Nukumori dake wo nokoshite

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara

Ima no bokuha iyase nai

Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni

Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

Itsuka wa kono sora ni daremo ga kaeru kara

Wakare no kotoba wa ira nai

make it up

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase

Subete wo keshite mise you

Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru

Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara

Ima no bokuha iyase nai

Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni

Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

REDEMPTION...

REDEMPTION...

English
Your form quietly returns to space What else can I do besides avenge you? I stared forever, until my tears withered away

My overflowing sadness doesn't disappear with your footprints I swore that I would never forget

Letting my broken wings flap I'll show them everything disappearing One day, I'll meet my end Un until the final bell stops tolling out right now

You told me To live as if you were to die tomorrow Feel as if you were to be reborn now Face as if you were to live forever

I traced the red tears with my trembling fingers I had nothing to lose, nothing truth My fleeting memories will fall into darkness Your last smile comes into my mind, and disappears Leaving behind only warmth

Right now, I can't be cured by words That are only gentle I'm just going to give my everything The battle's going on until the end of time

Someday, everyone will return to space You don't need words for goodbyes Make it up!

Letting my broken wings flap I'll show them everything disappearing One day, I'll meet my end Up until the final bell stops tolling out right now

Right now, I can't be cured by words That are only gentle I'm just going to give my everything The battle's going on until the end of time
