くれなゐ (Kurenai) – Crimson
from Sora no ki album.
—–
People, wielding their different ideas of justice, form into groups
Those who are crowded out carry shears and capture me
The fragrance of warmth starting to go deviant
I was shaken, laughed at
You disappear into the crevices of the dark night
As my substitute
Scarlet, scarlet
Forever engraved
On the bundled wreckage of you and I
Still swimming in the same forever
On the torn wings waiting for me
Soaring in the sky
How awake must I be to bring you to the base of the morning sun?
How many punishments must I undergo, how much love to perform before I can return?
I wanted to give chase, wanted to catch you
Wanted to walk together with you
You escape through the closed door
Slipping through countless times
This door, dyed scarlet
As if smoldering
I want to embrace these gentle wounds
Still swimming in the same forever
Your wings connect these
Two hands of mine
I survive like a butterfly with its wings plucked
Unable to fly
Scarlet, scarlet
Forever engraved
On the bundled wreckage of you and I
This door, dyed scarlet
As if smoldering
I want to embrace these gentle wounds
Still swimming in the same forever
On the torn wings waiting for me
Soaring in the sky
