Najimeta shiro torikago sumi kodou eta tsubomi mo
Okizarigoe kurameta kioku no kage
I need your blood
You read love tonaeru
Agaku red light
Kagiwaketa nion to kojiaketa reason ga
Tada heikou ni narabu
Zai-on live and Shi and I
Giji side heaven
Kiri ga nai “hoshii” demo rigai naru suzu
Zange sae kawaita yon byoushi ga kanadeta zure wo tadoru
Komorebi no aka ga sawagu
I must be sacrificed
So can I help you all?
I’ll be a scapegoat if I can
My resolution failed
And all who died
Light of day still hurts me
You so need to know
You don’t need to go
You’re waiting right here
A way for me to make it back
Some way I won’t need to attack
Everything has gone so wrong
Come on break it down for me!
A river will flow
You are not my enemy
I’ll let you prove me wrong
You can trust me when I say
It won’t be long
We’re gonna see the end of night
Don’t forsake me now
We haven’t got the time
The fallen angels I run with all know
It’s our fear that makes us all human after all
Torn old sepia photographs show
Our fragile little world
Must reject it, respond to the
Calling, screaming inside of my soul
It’s my fear of loving what’s
Dearest to us all
Sun is fading
It will set forever
Are you still my family?
A river will flow
You are not my enemy
I’ll let you prove me wrong
You can trust me when I say
It won’t be long
We’re gonna see the end of night
Come on break it down for me!
A river will flow
Key ga nai “hoshii” demo rigai naru suzu
Zange sae kawaita yon byoushi ga kanadeta ito wo tadoru
Komorebi no aka ga sawagu
The fallen angels I run with all know
It’s our fear that makes us all human after all
Torn old sepia photographs show
Our fragile little world
Must reject it, respond to the
Calling, screaming inside of my soul
It’s my fear of loving what’s
Dearest to us all
Sun is fading
It will set forever
