Hikarinaki Yoru wo Yuke Text - Ayatsuri Sakon

Romaji

mitasarenai to wakatte mo
motomeru no ka eien wo
tsumibito to seija no hazama de
setsuna no toki tsunaide

are you still going to seek out eternity?
Linked for a brief moment
in the void between sinner and saint...

owari no nai ayamachi ni
irodorareta sekai wa
kaseki no mori ni sugata wo kaete
kanashimi no shinwa wo tsumugu

that's colored with endless mistakes
changes into a petrified forest,
weaving a sad legend.

itsuka karada sae kaze ni nari daichi e
kaeru darou
dakedo kokoro wa doko e yuku no ka hito
wa
kotae wo shiranai
soshite arukidasu
hikari naki yoru wo yuke

and return to the earth...
But where do our hearts go?
People don't know the answer to that.
And so they walk on,
treading the lightless night.

fukai yami ni idakarete
kakushite'ta namida ga ochiru
gareki no machi wo awaremu you ni
tsuki no honoo ga yurameku

hidden tears fall.
As if to pity the city of rubble below,
the flame of the moon flickers.

yokubou mo ai mo mou miwake ga tsukanai
kono sekai de
maboroshi to shiri nagara mune wo iyasu
mono wo
hito wa oi-tsudzukeru
itami to hikikae ni
shinjitsu wo sagasu you ni

in this world.
Even though they know it's an illusion,
people keep
chasing after something which will heal
their hearts,
as if they were searching for
a truth to replace the pain.

mitasarenai to wakatte mo
motome-tsudzukeru
kagiri aru inochi wo kedakaku hibikasete
kaze ni nari daichi e to kaeru toki made
tamashii wa samayoi-tsudzukereba ii
soshite hito wa mata
arukidashite yuku
hikari naki yoru wo yuke

making their limited lives echo
loftily...
Even if my soul keeps wandering until it
turns into the wind and returns to the
earth, I don't mind
And so,
people walk on again,
treading the lightless night.
