English

Lighting a faint glow
I place my cheek to the cold wall
Turning careful ear to the silence
Silently, slowly
I retrace my steps

There's no sound to mark the time
And footsteps sound in the room
Where only the unhappy pendulum swings
Opportunity presents itself suddenly
With the pealing of the bells

My still wounded right arm circles
Trying to remember you, my love
And so I wander, in search of my saber

At midnight, ding dong ding dang
As the shadows come knocking
A yearning voice sundered my heart
In the moonlight, fourteen eyes were bright
To and fro, he's abuse selfish

Look, ti ta ta ta
The glass needles
If they mark the twelfth hour
Then the seven shadows of the holy night
Stretch their hands to the powerless puppets

The drops of tears in the palm of a reaching hand
See how they breathe warmth back into you
When the fortold time comes to pass

To the forest, ri ra ra ra
Knock on the door
Praying that I won't hear
Anguished cries in the descending wind
I run off unsteadily

ah- din da da da
Like clockwork
when a young owl hooted, I escaped the darkness
The sound of the bell that signals the end
For some reason brings with it painful longing

la- la- la- la- la
Towards that person, who so resembles me
As I reach out my hand, I think of you
In the intersection between worlds, ah-

A gentle timbre
Holds brilliant light
Hidden in the depths of my soul
My beloved smiles before my eyes
I'm certain it's all just a marionette fantasia

la la la- la- la-
In our own world
Dreams are a hollow Eutopia
When the hard shell of the walnut splits
The world is abruptly washed away
