Japanese/English
静かに宙に還る貴方の姿を
what else can I do besides avenge you?
涙が枯れるまでずっと見つめていた
溢れる哀しみは消せない傷跡に
忘れはしないと誓った
折れた翼を羽ばたかせすべてを消してみせよう
いつの日か終わりを迎える最後の鐘が鳴り止むまで
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
震える指で紅い涙をなぞった
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
儚い思い出が闇に堕ちてゆく
最後の微笑みが浮かんでは消える
温もりだけを残して
優しいだけの言葉なら今の僕は癒せない
果てしなく続く戦いにこの身をすべて捧げるだけ
いつかはこの宙に誰もが還るから
別れの言葉はいらない
make it up
折れた翼を羽ばたかせすべてを消してみせよう
いつの日か終わりを迎える最後の鐘が鳴り止むまで
優しいだけの言葉なら今の僕は癒せない
果てしなく続く戦いにこの身をすべて捧げるだけ
REDEMPTION
Rōmaji
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 keshite 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
Unofficial English translation
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, up until the final bell stops tolling out right now
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
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
REDEMPTION
