Romaji Lyrics English Translation
Kowarete yuku machi 
 Yuuyake ga shiruetto wo utsushidasu 
 Chi no you na sora ga 
 Yugami-hajimeta shinjitsu somete ita 
In the crumbling street 
                              The sunset mirrors a silhouette 
                              The blood-red sky 
                              Stains a warping reality 
 Nani ga tadashikute nani ga taisetsu ka mo 
 Wakaranai jidai no naka de 
                              In a time were one cannot know 
                              What is right and what is important 
 Tsubasa nado hoshiku nai 
 Tori yori oroka de ii kara 
 Ryouashi de tachiagare 
 Ashita no kakera dakishimete 
                              I do not want things such as wings 
                              For it is enough that I am more foolish than a bird 
                              Rise up on both feet 
                              And embrace the pieces of tomorrow 
 Yasashisa no shurui 
 Gareki ni tatazunde ima kazoeyou 
 Amai zetsubou ga 
 Kurushii kibou wo keshisaru sono mae ni 
                              The types of kindness 
                              Now let us count them 
                              Before sweet despair 
                              Erases bitter hope 
 Yume wo mitai nara sugu ni nemure ba ii 
 Sonna ni muzukashiku nai sa 
                              If you want to dream all you do is sleep 
                              It isn't that hard 
 Taiyou wa mayonaka ni 
 Shoumetsu shite 'ru wake ja nai 
 Kono hoshi no uragawa de 
 Itsu demo kagayaite 'ru no sa 
                              It's not that the sun 
                              Is destroyed in midnight 
                              Behind this planet 
                              It is forever shining 
 Tsubasa nado hoshiku nai 
 Tori yori oroka de ii kara 
 Ryouashi de tachiagare 
 Ashita no kakera dakishimete 
                              I do not want things such as wings 
                              For it is enough that I am more foolish than a bird 
                              Rise up on both feet 
                              And embrace the pieces of tomorrow 
 Taiyou wa mayonaka ni 
 Shoumetsu shite 'ru wake ja nai 
 Kono hoshi no uragawa de 
 Itsu demo kagayaite 'ru no sa 
                              It's not that the sun 
                              Is destroyed in midnight 
                              Behind this planet 
                              It is forever shining
