Japanese Lyrics

Akaku somaru ude de kimi wo dakishime nagara
Aoku terasareta namida wo tsuki ni sasageru

Mune ni kizamareta kizuato wo mitsume nagara
"Mou modore nai..." to yoru ga sasayaku

Saa me wo tojite inori wo sasagereba ii
Mou omae ni nokosu kotoba wa nanimo nai kara

Kami wo furuitataseru yami wo kiri saku koe ni
Naki sakebu ga ii, subete owarase you

Watashi no mune ni tada damatte dakarereba ii
Owaru koto no nai yasuragi ga koko ni aru kara

Subete no tsumi wo tsugunai umarekawareba ii
Omae ni nokosareta sube wa nanimo nai....

Saa me wo tojite inori wo sasagereba ii
Mou omae ni nokosu kotoba wa nanimo nai kara



Translation

Holding onto you with these arms dyed so red
I offer the moon these tears shone blue

Staring at this scar carved deep into flesh
As the night whispers, "No turning back anymore..."

Now, close your eyes and say your prayers
'cos I've nothing left to say to you

With your voice, cut this sacred darkness into pieces
Scream, and put an end to it all

Quietly now, hold on to me
For it is here you shall find everlasting peace

Wash away all your sins, and be reborn
And leave nothing behind...

Now, close your eyes and say your prayers
'cos I've nothing left to say to you
