Episode.0

==Background==
"Episode.0" is an original song by mathru. It was an entry for GACKT's song competition and was the winner of the grand prize.
The song tells the story of a samurai who was bloodthirsty and wanted nothing but to fight. As the song progresses, the samurai is impaled by a katana and starts to die. While laying for dead, he remembers his hometown and a young girl singing. The singing girl makes him realize that nothing is more important than tranquility. With his final moments, he wishes that not only if he could be reborn and sing but to also take the burdens of other people and have them die with him.
This song has entered the Hall of Fame.

Japanese (日本語歌詞) 	Romaji (ローマ字)
そう俺は夢を掴む者 野望のため刀を赤く染める 	sou ore wa yume o tsukamu mono yabou no tame katana o akaku someru
戦国の世が世であるから 何を犠牲にしても天下を取る 	sengoku no yo ga yo de aru kara nani o gisei ni shite mo tenka o toru
 	
何もかも省みずに故郷の母にも手紙書けず 	nanimokamo kaerimizu ni kokyou no haha ni mo tegami kakezu
己の未熟さを知り気付けば体は血に染まった 	onore no mijukusa o shiri kizukeba karada wa chi ni somatta
 	
残酷な戦の痕 	zankoku na ikusa no ato
俺たちは敗れた人 	oretachi wa yabureta hito
敗者には救いさえもなく 	haisha ni wa sukui sae mo naku
無情に雨は降り注ぐ 	mujou ni ame wa furisosogu
 	
墓標に夢は露と散る 	bohyou ni yume wa tsuyu to chiru
 	
遠く向こうから聴こえてくる 	tooku mukou kara kikoete kuru
優しく悲しい旋律 	yasashiku kanashii senritsu
 	
少女が何処かで歌ってるようだ 	shoujo ga dokoka de utatteru you da
透き通った声が響きわたる 	sukitotta koe ga hibiki wataru
 	
ふと涙零れ落ちた 	futo namida kobore ochita
故郷が思い浮かんだ 	furusato ga omoi ukanda
歌声が俺に気付かせた 	utagoe ga ore ni kizukaseta
平穏が一番大切だと 	heion ga ichiban taisetsu da to
 	
もし生まれかわれるなら 	moshi umare kawareru nara
この声の少女のように 	kono koe no shoujo no you ni
歌声で人を救えるような 	utagoe de hito o sukueru you na
存在になりたいと思うんだ 	sonzai ni naritai to omoun da
 	
今の俺がそうであるように 	ima no ore ga sou de aru you ni
誰かの重荷を外せたなら 嗚呼 	dareka no omoni o hazuseta nara aa
