PAIN

ICONA

深い闇の静寂 心は彷徨って

失われた夢は今 はるかに遠くへ

無限の光と 偽りのパラダイス

希望の灯は どこまでも近くに

君の欠片 寂しさを運ぶ

色褪せた未来とノスタルジア

Light in the darkness 前兆もなく

時間が君を遠ざける

Light in the darkness 前兆もなく

時間が君を曇らせる

明日を忘れた 美しいメロディ

交差する光と影は もう幻惑のトリック

目を閉じ 痛みはよみがえる

煌めく真実とノスタルジア

Light in the darkness 前兆もなく

時間が君を引き寄せる

Light in the darkness 前兆もなく

時間が君を閉じこめる

Light in the darkness 前兆もなく

時間が君を遠ざける

Light in the darkness 前兆もなく

時間が君を曇らせる
