kurayami no naka de mutsumi au
In the darkness, we embrace each other
zetsubou to mirai wo
Despair and the future
kanashimi wo abaku tsuki akari
The light of the moon reveals my sorrow
tsumetaku terashiteta
It shone coldly
kimi no kureta himitsu wo shirube ni
To trace the secret you gave me
aoi yoru no shizukesa wo yuku
I walk through the stillness of the blue night
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
tooku kudakete kieta
Crumbled far away, vanished
mabushii sekai wo mou ichido aishitai
I want to love this dazzling world once more
hitomi no naka ni yume wo kakushite
Hiding dreams within your eyes
yogoreta kokoro ni
In my torn heart
namida ga ochite kuru made
Until tears begin to fall
maboroshi no basha wa yami wo wake
The phantom carriage parts the darkness
hikari no aru hou he
Towards the place where light resides
yume to iu wana ga bokutachi wo
That snare called a dream entices us
homura he izanau
Into the flames it beckons
sora no ue no mujihi na kamigami ni wa
To the merciless gods above the sky
donna sakebi mo todoki wa shinai
No cry will ever reach them
Lacrimosa...
Lacrimosa...
bokura wa moesakaru takigi tonari
We are blazing, like the fire beside us
itsuka sono sora wo yaki tsuku sou
One day, I'll burn that sky brightly,
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa,
koko ni umarete ochita
Born here, I have fallen,
chi nureta sekai wo osorezu ni aishitai
I want to love this blood-soaked world without fear,
yurusareru yori yurushi shinjite
Believing in forgiveness rather than being forgiven,
yogoreta chijou de
On this tainted earth,
namida no hibi wo kazoete
Counting the days of tears.
