Lyrics: (Japanese)

hai wa hai ni chiri wa chiri ni

kouryoutaru hagane no mori
kassai ni ni ta meidou ni oudou hitsuji no yume o miru
reirou taru oto no hibiki

yaiba no kusamura yureru
kinuzure no oto hisoyakani madou wa an taru seihitsu
akaku uki tsu kie tsu
mugen kairou ni tatazumu eikyuu no madoromi mi o makase

saraba utsushimi no hana tsuyu to kie nu
mugen kagami meguru tsuranaru kage
kuraki nemuri karamatta kodoku no ito
mawari madou shinchuu no kokoro

(Instrumental solo)

koukou taru yami no tengai
nubatama no yume ni horobi yuku oudou rakudo no anitsu ni

Lyrics: (English) (You can sing along! English cover by CammieMile)

Ashes return to ash
Dust returns to the dust

A bleak forest constructed of steel
I see brass sheep in the deepest of my sleep
The sound of applause echoes further than it seems
It rings out in tones of glass so clearly
Loudly travels to hear across the sea
Step forth into the world formed only in my dreams

Sharp blades made of grass begin to seize
They feed me lies full of dark profanities
The sound of cloth gently rustles in the breeze
In scarlet they float 'fore disappearing
The end of the infinite hall I cannot see
I surrender my body into eternal sleep

Say goodbye
The bloom who I
Was once inside
Shall disappear in time

Infinite, reflection,
Revolving in, the shadows of my sin
The darkness, restless sleep, tangled in, strings of solitary
Deceiving, surrounding, a fake heart, made of brass

(Instrumental solo)

Underneath the darkest canopy
Heading for only destruction at the seams
The light will perish within all of my dreams
Awake from within a thousand years
I see brass sheep in the deepest of my sleep
The sound of gold somehow echoes from within it seems

An ocean of carpet stretches on
Trembling by the pierrot's racing heartbeat
Into a den he's slowly disappearing
A profusion of gears start to bloom
I surrender my body to the sound that I can hear
A latch that slips letting way to all of my fears

The abyss, a narrow twist
Be devoured, by pleasures as you wish

I give in, blind myself,
The tunes to play, in ruins of itself
It gathers, it gathers, overlaps, accumulating
Let it sound, let it sing, let it say "Return to me!"

Ashes return to ash

Dust returns to the dust
(It rings out in tones of glass so clearly. Loudly travels to hear across the sea. Step forth into the world formed only in my dreams)

Ashes return at ash
(Sharp blades made of grass begin to seize. They feed me lies full of dark profanities. The sound of cloth gently rustles in the breeze)
((I give in, blind myself,
The tunes to play, in ruins of itself))

Dust returns to the dust

((Say goodbye
The bloom who I))
