Thrusting through darkness
My blade slices the quiet of night
I scream out violently in the silence
Burdened by the duty of protecting
This red blooming flower
Down this scorched path that leads
Through the smoldering abyss of fate
All life is engulfed by the chasm's flames
I turn my eyes away from the dancing blaze
That soon burns out
Take a deep breath
Let it out
Though your life may be losing its warmth
Have faith
Without a doubt
Believe that this all
Certainly is proof that
You are alive and exist
Both Heaven and Earth
Become lost with time
Crumbling to dust
As they fall from the red sky
You shined your light
And broke down the door to my shut tight
Resistant heart
Just like all those tears
You have shed and cried
You can't hide the truth
Once it has been told at last
I want to find
At the ends of this blazing sky
The courage hidden within me
Shadows haunt the dawn
Terrorizing everyone in sight
You try to withstand against their cold blight
But your each every effort fails in vain
Leaving things unchanged
Since that moment I've walked
Deaf to the provocations of fate
Turning my back to everything I know
Along with your warm confident smiling face
You'd often show
What could this be?
This feeling
That's graciously warming my whole heart
I watch
You breathe a sigh, carefree
I realize
This feeling has to be
What we all refer as 'love'
Both Heaven and Earth
Unleash all their wrath
Upon both of us
As we embrace each other
You wipe my tears
Holding on to my shaking shoulders
As the rain pours
But our time soon ends
By the piercing sound
Of reality
Thrusting deep into my heart
I want to find
Fluttering in the wind with pride
Courage and strength that never dies
Both Heaven and Earth
Bathe the clouds in light
I spread out my wings
And take off towards the bright skies
I reach my hand out
And grab hold of my shattered dreams
They're reflecting
A small spark ignites
A torch in my heart
Bursting up in flames
Flaring away the cold dark
I want to find
At the ends of this blazing sky
The courage to connect with you
