**Japanese**
静寂が刺す　凍てついた水面に

歪な記憶が　木霊した

手に纏う蝶　何を映し出すの

世界の価値を　教えて

光に囚われ　逃げてた

綻び　閉ざされた城で　忘れていたの

独りに慣れて　声出すこともなく

楽園に侵されたままで

静寂が問う

何故生まれ落ちたの　映す情景の奥へと

静寂に問う　早まる鼓動で

ah 崩れ散ったの　無垢な過ちが

引き返す道を許さないわ

歩み続けて　辿り着く先へと

其処に答えがあるはず…

静寂に問う　答えを求めて

Lyrics: Sennzai

**Romaji**
seijaku ga sasu itetsuita minamo ni

ibitsu na kioku ga kodamashita

te ni matou chou nani wo utsushidasu no

sekai no kachi wo oshiete

hikari ni toraware nigeteta

hokorobi tozasareta shiro de wasureteita no

hitori ni narete koe dasu koto mo naku

rakuen ni okasareta mama de

seijaku ga tou

naze umareochita no utsusu joukei no oku e to

seijaku ni tou hayamaru kodou de

ah kuzurechitta no muku na ayamachi ga

hikikaesu michi wo yurusanai wa

ayumitsudzukete tadoritsuku saki eto

soko ni kotae ga aru hazu...

seijaku ni tou kotae wo motomete

**English translation**
In stinging silence, twisted memories echo

on the frozen water's surface

What do the butterflies encircling my hands reflect?

Teach me the worth of the world

I'd been running away, entrapped by the light

I'd forgotten, in a castle sealed away and coming apart

I'd been used to the loneliness

broken by the paradise without saying a word

The silence asks me

Into the depths of the reflected scenery, my pulse quickening,

I ask the silence: why was I born?

Ah, the images shatter, and my innocent mistakes

will not allow me to retrace my steps

And so I keep on walking toward my destination,

where the answers should lie...

I ask the silence, and seek the answer
