**カイト, ライト, ナイト**

涙の一滴(ひとしずく)　堕ちて

波紋が伝播(でんぱ)する

羽化(うか)したアゲハ蝶(ちょう)

微かな羽搏(はばた)きで 嵐が育つ

連鎖を停めれない　こんな世界で

そう　心で誰かが囁(ささや)く

哀しみの胎動(たいどう)は　翳(かげ)るその未来像を

問いかけている

希望　絶望　抱いて　風へ曝(さら)され

赤く錆びた銃口を 突き付けられて

やっと気付いた胸の音「何をすべきか」

“What is Life!?”

「永遠に傍観者(ぼうかんしゃ)なのか」

「当事者はお前だ」

「他人の指図など要らない」

自らの願いに　従順に

**Kite, Light, Night**
namida no hitoshizuku ochite

hamon ga denpa suru

ukashita AGEHA chou

kasuka na habataki de arashi ga sodatsu

rensa wo tomerenai konna sekai de

sou kokoro de dareka ga sasayaku

kanashimi no taidou wa kageru sono miraizou wo

toikaketeiru

kibou zetsubou daite kaze e sarasare

akaku sabita juukou wo tsukitsukerarete

yatto kidzuita mune no oto “nani wo subeki ka”

“What is Life!?”

“eien ni boukansha nano ka”

“toujisha wa omae da”

“ta’nin no sashizu nado iranai”

mizukara no negai ni juujun ni

**Kite, Light, Night**

A drop of tears falls

Ripples propagate

The emerged swallow butterfly

With its faint flapping, grows a storm

Connections can’t be stopped in this kind of world

Yes, someone inside my heart whispers

The movement of sadness holds the image of future

Asking it

Embrace hope and despair, expose it to the wind

A muzzle rusted in red, worn by force

I finally realized through my heart:  “what I have to do”

“What is Life!?”

“Am I a bystander for life”

“The main character is you”

“Instructions from others are not needed”

To my own wishes, obediently

敢(あ)えなく散るのは　夢でなく

そう　儚く挫(くじ)ける愚かしさ

大事なものさえ　在り続けてくれるならば

何度　炎に　運命(さだめ)に　阻(はば)まれても

もう　想いの花束　枯らさない

だから　さぁ笑って

君の明日へ　歌おう

直(じき)に　真実(ほんとう)の夜明けさ　行こう

“What is Life！？”

“What is Life！？”

“This is Life！”

To my own wishes, obediently

"Protecting"

The dreams that shouldn't be scattered

Yes　fleetingly broken stupidity

As long as I have important things

Even if flames, fate countlessly blocks me

The bouquet of feelings won't wither anymore

That's why　just laugh

I shall sing to your tomorrow

Directly to the dawn of truth, we go

“What is Life！？”

“What is Life！？”

“This is Life！”

自らの願いに　従順に

感情という名の　匣(パンドラ)には

嗚呼　世界の秘密　眠っている

ひとは何故　愛し憎んで

時代(とき)はまた　寄せては　嗚呼返す

「何の、誰のため」鏡の前で

銃を向けたその肖像(かげ)は　自分自身でした

そんな悪夢で目覚める「正夢なのか」

“What is Life！？”

自問自答　永久回廊(えいきゅうかいろう)

迷い込んだ　蜉蝣(かげろう)

終幕(おわり)なく　今を語れない

漸(ようや)く解った For You

「護りたい」

「この掌(て)で」

「護れる」

“Am I a bystander for life”

“The main character is you”

“Instructions from others are not needed”

To my own wishes, obediently

Inside a box named feelings

Ah　the secrets of the world lie beneath

Why do people　love and hate

Time once again　brings it back

"For what, for whom" in front of the mirror

The reflection pointing a gun　was myself

Waking up from such a nightmare, "was it a dream come true?"

“What is Life!?”

Asking myself eternally

Getting lost ephemerally

Can't talk without an ending

I finally understood For You

"I want to protect"

"With these hands"

"Protecting"

The dreams that shouldn't be scattered

Yes　fleetingly broken stupidity

As long as I have important things

Even if flames, fate countlessly blocks me

The bouquet of feelings won't wither anymore

That's why　just laugh

I shall sing to your tomorrow

Directly to the dawn of truth, we go

“What is Life！？”

“What is Life！？”

“This is Life！”
