Ride with Us Front Cover

枯れゆく花に注ぐ数滴の水

痣隠す少女 渦巻くカルマ

いとも容易く朽ちる約束の礎

あらぬ悪意 咽返す熱気と魂の根源

怠惰と傲慢 倫理の外側へ

日の当たる 場所を探し 彷徨う亡者の行進

差し伸べられた 手にも気づかず 前を見据える瞳は…

微かに 輝く 僅かな 幸福

およそ想像もつかない

絶望の淵に立たされた俺は

立ち向かう術を持ち合わせた しがない挑戦者

およそ想像もつかない

絶望の淵に立たされたお前は

一体何を持ってそれに立ち向かうと言うのか?

夜明けの近い 海辺で聞こえる ささやかな波の声

希望はどこに?

お前がここに あると言っただろ?

確かに今現在繰り返されている悲劇は誰にも止められなくとも

信じ続ける信念はいつも自分が持っていて

昔誰かが言っていた 栄光は俺たちの手の中に
