Listen to me
Listen to me
Cleave your way again, again
Cleave your way again, again
誓いの日々が最後に放つ未来

ゆがんだ空に描いた掌たちが 頬を濡らす
The palms drawn in the distorted sky wet my cheeks
You're not alone
You're not alone
今 灯火を抱け その闇にむけ
Now embrace the light and head towards that darkness
It's just like a lighthouse in your hands
It's just like a lighthouse in your hands
Like a little flag flapping in the sands
Like a little flag flapping in the sands
ふいに失くした意味に怯え

A floating moon
A floating moon
You still croon?
Are you still crooning?

Listen to me
Listen to me
Sail away again, again
Sail away again, again

You're not alone
You're not alone

吹き荒れる風が織りなす雨音は
The sound of rain made by the raging wind
遥か遠く見えた大地の唄になる
It becomes a song of the land that seemed far away

The scenery of the golden eyelids and
やがて来る祝福の日々のため
For the days of blessings that will come soon
傷つかずに進むだけの道などなく
There's no way to proceed without getting hurt
傷つくためだけに生まれた者もない
No one is born just to be hurt
Do good, to be good
Do good, to be good
Do good, to be good
Do good, to be good
You're not alone
You're not alone

Go through the rough seas, escape the darkness
