Kanji	Romaji	Translation
過ぎ去った Your story　途切れない声淡い陽炎が　風に揺られて繰り返す　その stormy　痛む疵痕隙間を照らす　篝火求めた	Sugisatta Your story Togirenai koe Awai kagerou ga Kaze ni yurarete Kurikaesu Sono stormy Itamu kizuato Sukima wo terasu Kagaribi motometa	It passed us by, Your story　 Along with an unrelenting voice The slight haze of heat Sways with the breeze They keep recurring, Those stormy　 Aching scars yearn For a cresset that will Shed light on their crevices
I will never forget your eyes. 口先だけの lies　覗き込んだ瞳に潜む We will never forget your truth. 囚われたメビウス　偽リノナイ絆	I will never forget your eyes. Kuchisaki dake no lies Nozokikonda hitomi ni hisomu We will never forget your truth. Torawareta mebiusu Itsuwari no nai kizuna	I will never forget your eyes. All your glib-tongued lies Lurk in those eyes I peered into We will never forget your truth. Captive within the moebius Is a bond with no falsehoods
薄明のモノローグ　奇跡纏って過去も今も明日でもない彼方まで透明なダイアローグ　また彷徨って音もなく蠢いた　信じた夢のカケラ	Hakumei no monorōgu Kiseki matotte Kako mo ima mo Asu demo nai Kanata made Toumei na daiarōgu Mata samayotte Oto mo naku ugomeita Shinjita Yume no kakera	A twilight monologue— Clad in a miracle Reaching into the distance where There is no past nor present Or even a tomorrow A transparent dialogue— Meandering once again, It lurched forward with no sound— The fragment of the dream That we believed in
置き去りの Your story　重なった空朱いため息が　この胸を刺す終わらない　その stormy　滲む残像未来の記憶　蘇る憶い	Okizari no Your story Kasanatta sora Akai tameiki ga Kono mune wo sasu Owaranai Sono stormy Nijimu zanzou Mirai no kioku Yomigaeru omoi	It was left behind, Your story Along with the concurrent skies Scarlet tinged sighs Pierce this heart of mine Unending, These stormy Blurring afterimages— Memories of the future, Reviving sensations
I will never forget your eyes. 真実を隠す lies 運命を紡いだこの糸 We will never forget your truth. 閉じ込めたサヨナラ　偽リノナイ絆	I will never forget your eyes. Shinjitsu wo kakusu lies Unmei wo tsumuida kono ito We will never forget your truth. Tojikometa sayonara Itsuwari no nai kizuna	I will never forget your eyes. Hiding the truth with lies— Those threads which spun fate We will never forget your truth. Caged amidst those farewells Is a bond with no falsehoods
薄明のモノローグ　夢を纏って過去も今も明日でもないこの場所で透明なダイアローグ　全てを繋ぐ気高く強く願う　夜明けを隠すカケラ	Hakumei no monorōgu Yume wo matotte Kako mo ima mo Asu demo nai Kono basho de Toumei na daiarōgu Subete wo tsunagu Kedakaku tsuyoku negau Yoake wo kakusu kakera	A twilight monologue— Clad in a dream At a place where There is no past nor present Or even a tomorrow A transparent dialogue— Connecting everything; A wish so strong and sublime, For the fragment hiding the dawn
薄明のモノローグ　奇跡纏って過去も今も明日でもない彼方まで透明なダイアローグ　また彷徨って音もなく蠢いた　信じた夢のカケラ	Hakumei no monorōgu Kiseki matotte Kako mo ima mo Asu demo nai Kanata made Toumei na daiarōgu Mata samayotte Oto mo naku ugomeita Shinjita Yume no kakera	A twilight monologue— Clad in a miracle Reaching into the distance where There is no past nor present Or even a tomorrow A transparent dialogue— Meandering once again, It lurched forward with no sound— The fragment of the dream That we believed in
