Owaru koto nado nai yume wo
Kono te wa sukueru ka?
Subete ga yugamu konna sekai de (hazama de)
Doko e mukaeba mieru darō?
Ima wa iku shika nai
Musū no shinjitsu e tsuzuku michi wo
Ao no owari wo sagashite
A wishful dream without an end-
can these hands save such a thing?
In this world (in the rift) where everything is warped,
where must I head to be able to see it?
For now, I can only advance,
searching for the path continuing towards the countless truths,
and the end of the Blue
目に映るのは悪夢…それか現実
記憶の中を弄る刃先
Me ni utsuru no wa akumu… sore ka genjitsu
Kioku no naka wo masaguru hasaki
Is that which is reflected in my eyes a nightmare… or reality?
The blade’s edge touches the depths of my memories
哀れみ優しさ抱いて 存在補い合ってる
空虚で不完全な人が創り出す時空で
Awaremi yasashisa daite sonzai oginai atteru
Kūkyo de fukanzenna hito ga tsukuridasu jikū de
By embracing a merciful kindness, we’re complementing our existences
in the spacetime which incomplete people have created in the void
Kibō to na wo tsuketa michi wo
Bokura wa arukeru ka?
Hakai e chikazuku sora no shita (negatta)
Kudaranai to nageku no nara
Onore ni toikakeyō
Hitomi nurashita kioku no imi wo
Deai majiwaru sono imi wo
The path given the name 'hope'-
are we able to walk down it?
Underneath the sky approaching destruction, I wished
If you shout that it’s ridiculous,
then let me ask thee
of the meaning of the memories of eyes wet with tears,
and of that meeting with paths crossing
Kowashite kizutsukeatte itami ga kusari to nari
Kono yo ga tsuzuiteyuku no dato shite mo
Kurikaesu yami no naka de nanika ni kizuki hajimeru
- Kotae wa tatta hitotsu ja nai -
With the breaking, wounding pain becoming my chains,
even if this world continues,
I begin to understand something in the midst of this repeating darkness:
- There isn’t a single answer -
Ikuoku shoku ni madou yume wo
Kono me wa eraberu ka?
Subete ga tokeau sono hazama (inotta)
Tatoe kono mi ga kieyō to mo
Sekai wa tsuzuiteku
Eien no yōna hikari no naka de
Moesakaru ao idaite
A wishful dream to be perplexed by countless billions of colours-
can these eyes choose such a thing?
In that rift where everything melds together, I prayed
Even if this body of mine disappears,
the world will continue,
with me in the light seeming like eternity,
embracing the burning Blue blaze
