アンティフォーナ (Antifoona) – Antiphona
from STARTING NOW! single.
——
The outcome of a story without discussion
Remains lost without the key of disclosure
Cruel reality ∞, a kind and beautiful lie
Layers deeply etched together
Playing the prelude of interweaving darkness
Yearning and desiring for love
We hurt each other
Are those thorns meant for love
Or for unpaid sorrow?
Shadowed justice dances
To a melody without an answer
The end I’ve been guided to
Can’t be called a tragedy
Embracing your hidden spirit, what do you dream of?
Can you redeem your sins by making sacrifices?
The beginning is long past
With an unfortunate synopsis
A pure life entagled within despair
Unable to do anything…
Collapsed with a loud noise
The fragments of this world
So as not to spill a single piece
I’ve always persevered alone
Mistaken foreshadowing scatters
The echoes of destruction
Continue to ring out, but
The lamentations won’t stop
Earnest wishes
Frozen and locked close
Still wait for a time to awaken
Yes, I believe that
Yearning and desiring for love
We hurt each other
Are those thorns meant for love
Or for unpaid sorrow?
Shadowed justice dances
To a melody without an answer
The end I’ve been guided to
Can’t be called a tragedy

Kataru koto wo yameta monogatari no yukue wa
Abaku tame no kagi wo nakushite shimatta mama
Zankoku na shinjitsu yasashiku utsukushii uso
Ikue ni fukaku kizami ai
Ori nasu yami no prelude kanaderu
Koi kogare motome ai nagara
Tagai ni kizutsuke au
Sono toge wa ai no tame ka
Mukuwarenu kanashimi no tame ka
Kazashi au seigi-tachi ga mau
Kotae naki senritsu ga
Michibiku sono ketsumatsu wo
Higeki to wa yobasenai
Himeta omoi daite nani wo yume miteru no ka
Gisei to hikikae ni tsumi wo aganaeru no ka
Hajimari wa tooi hi
Suuki naru sujigaki de
Muku na inochi wa zetsubou ni karame torarete
Nanimo dekinai mama…
Oto wo tate kuzure ochite yuku
Kono sekai no hahen wo
Hitohira mo kobosanu you
Zutto hitori koraeteita no
Sakugo suru fukusen ga chirasu
Hametsu he no zankyou ga
Nari yamu koto wa nakutemo
Nageku dake ja owarenai
Setsunaru negai
Koori hatete kataku tozasare nagara mo
Yagate mezameru toki wo matteru
Sou, shinjiteiru
Koi kogare motome ai nagara
Tagai ni kizutsuke au
Sono toge wa ai no tame ka
Mukuwarenu kanashimi no tame ka
Kazashi au seigi-tachi ga mau
Kotae naki senritsu ga
Michibiku sono ketsumatsu wo
Higeki to wa yobasenai

語ることを止めた 物語の行方は
暴くための鍵を 失くしてしまったまま
残酷な真実 ∞ 優しく美しい嘘
幾重に深く刻みあい
織り成す闇の前奏曲−prelude− 奏でる
恋い焦がれ 求め合いながら
互いに傷つけ合う
その棘は 愛の為か
報われぬ哀しみの為か
翳し合う 正義たちが舞う
答えなき旋律が
導くその結末を
悲劇とは呼ばせない
秘めた意志(おもい)抱いて 何を夢見てるのか
犠牲と引き換えに 罪を贖えるのか
始まりは遠い日
数奇なる筋書きで
無垢な命は 絶望に絡め捕られて
何もできないまま…
音を立て 崩れ墜ちてゆく
この世界の破片を
ひとひらも零さぬよう
ずっと独り堪えていたの
錯誤する伏線が散らす
破滅への残響が
鳴り止むことはなくても
嘆くだけじゃ終われない
切なる願い
凍り果てて 固く閉ざされながらも
やがて目醒める時を待ってる
そう、信じている
恋い焦がれ 求め合いながら
互いに傷つけ合う
その棘は 愛の為か
報われぬ哀しみの為か
翳し合う 正義たちが舞う
答えなき旋律が
導くその結末を
悲劇とは呼ばせない
