[Intro] 石は何も語らない ただ そこにある 石は自ら動かない ただ 人の手に積まれる 草が生え 苔に覆われ 忘れ去られようとも 人の手のぬくもりを忘れぬ [Verse 4] 荒れた丘に ひとり立ち 昔の城を見つめる男 土に眠った石を探し この場所へ返そうと 声を上げた その声を聞いて 人が集い 土を掘り 泥を払い 眠っていた石を抱き上げ 手から手へと 運んでゆく [Pre-Chorus 4] ひとりの願いに 幾千の手 失われた線を 描き直す 石は再び 石と出会い 崩れた城が 立ち上がる [Chorus 4] 一つ また一つ 土の底から 光の中へ 傷も欠け目も 抱いたままで 石はISHIGAKIへ帰ってゆく 一つ また一つ 人の想いを背負いながら 忘れられた城の丘に 人がISHIGAKIを積んでゆく [Bridge] 昭和十年 夜明け前 無数の靴音が 門を塞ぐ 祈りも歌も 罪と呼ばれ 築いた場所が 囲まれた 柱は倒れ 屋根は砕け 石段もISHGAKIも 崩される 一度帰った その石を 再び大地へ 叩き落とす [Breakdown] 権力が城を築く 人がISHIGAKIを積む 権力が城を捨てる 石は土へと埋もれる 人がISHIGAKIを起こす 権力が再び壊す それでも 石は人の手を忘れない [Silence：十年の空白] 十年の闇 十年の雨 十年の風 十年の沈黙 石は何も語らず その時を待っていた [Final Verse] 焼けた国に 朝が来る 閉ざされた土地が 人へ還る 瓦礫の中に 腰を屈め また誰かが 石に触れた 傷ついた石 欠けた石 それでもここに残った石 人の両手に抱き上げられ もう一度 隣の石と出会う [Final Chorus] 一つ また一つ 人の想いを背負いながら 二度も壊されたその場所に 石は再び 積まれてゆく 一つ また一つ 人の手から 人の手へ 権力が何度 壊そうとも 人がISHIGAKIを積んでゆく 一つ また一つ 過ぎた時代を支えながら 名もなき人のぬくもりを 石は今なお 忘れぬ [Outro] 草が生え 苔に覆われ ISHIGAKIは今日も そこにある 何を見たのか 何を失ったのか 何度その身を起こしたのか 石は何も語らない ただ そこにある けれど積まれたその隙間に 幾千の手が 生きている 🎶machine translation🎵 [Intro] The stones say nothing They simply remain The stones do not move on their own They are laid by human hands Grass takes root, and moss covers them Even as the world forgets them They never forget the warmth of human hands [Verse 4] Upon the ruined hill, a man stands alone Gazing at the castle of long ago He searches for stones asleep beneath the soil And raises his voice to bring them home The people gather when they hear his call They dig the earth and brush the mud away They lift the sleeping stones into their arms And pass them on from hand to hand [Pre-Chorus 4] One man’s hope calls forth a thousand hands Redrawing lines that had been lost Stone meets stone once more And the fallen castle rises [Chorus 4] One stone, then another From beneath the earth into the light Bearing every scar and broken edge The stones return to the castle walls One stone, then another Bearing the weight of human hopes Upon the hill of a forgotten castle People build the walls of stone [Bridge] In nineteen thirty-five, before the dawn The sound of countless boots seals the gate Prayers and songs are branded crimes The place they built is sealed and surrounded Pillars fall, and roofs are shattered Stone steps and stone walls are torn apart The stones that once had made it home Are struck back down into the earth [Breakdown] Power builds the castle People build the walls of stone Power abandons the castle Stones lie buried in the earth People raise the walls again Power destroys them once again And still— The stones never forget human hands [Silence: Ten years of emptiness] Ten years of darkness Ten years of rain Ten years of wind Ten years of silence The stones say nothing They wait for their time [Final Verse] A scorched nation greets the dawn The closed-off land returns to human hands Among the rubble, someone bends down And once again, a hand touches stone Wounded stones and broken stones Stones that still remain despite it all Lifted in the arms of human hands Each one meets its neighbour once again [Final Chorus] One stone, then another Bearing the weight of human hopes Upon the ground destroyed twice over The stones are laid once more One stone, then another From human hand to human hand However many times power tears them down People build the walls of stone One stone, then another Bearing all the ages that have passed Even now, the stones remember The warmth of nameless human hands [Outro] Grass takes root, and moss covers them The stone walls remain there still today What did they witness? What did they lose? How many times did they rise again? The stones say nothing They simply remain Yet in the spaces between the stones The hands of thousands still live on
