Lyric

Bohkan

Kana AKARI

God told me everything was already changed

Everything has gone

God told me everyone was already ranged

No one was here

汚れた海の中泳ぐ綺麗事

そこは there is no way no way no way

Won’t you save me even though you have a blessed life?

勝者の歴史の影の中

その教典に忍ばせた

ひと匙の悪意があの子を殺したの?

Ain’t you seen nothing I know you won’t know nothing, right?

愚者の群れに名前などなく

平等な差別の後降り注ぐ

この平等な死の先には何があるの?

瓦礫の下眠る殉道者たちよ

そこは there was no way no way no way

Can’t you take me even though you have a blessed life?

止まない炎の雨の中

その手足すら奪われ

罪なき小さな声は消えてゆく

Ain’t you taken all

I know you won’t know nothing, right?

悲しみ方も忘れてゆく

正当性を纏った死神の

両目は海の遥か彼方何を見てる?

Can you hear me?

Can I hear you?

We should’ve never been anywhere

No one is being

No one is beating

No one is here

Take me to the place

God will forgive me

勝者の歴史の影の中

その教典に忍ばせた

ひと匙の悪意が私を殺したの?

Do not close your eyes

Keep witnessing us in the eyes

この地に生まれ生きていたの

同じ地球 同じ青い空の下

祝福の光浴び生まれ 生きていたの

私たちがいたことを忘れないで

消えゆく祈り 幼い日の夢を見てる
