[Intro - spoken voice] 祇園精舎の鐘の声 諸行無常の響きあり 沙羅双樹の花の色 盛者必衰の理をあらはす [Instrumental Rise] [Verse 1 - Low clean vocal, restrained] 皆は言う あいつらに会うな 会えば命はないと ふざけるな あれほど極上の客が 他にいるものか 泣き 呻き 息を呑み 夜ごと俺の琵琶を待っている 海に沈んだなら 俺の琵琶が地上へ引き上げる 名が消えるなら この弦に刻めばいい [Pre-Chorus - Harsh] 聞け 波の下の名を 闇の底の声を 指が動くかぎり 弦は鳴る [Chorus - Clean, melodic, English] Silks are drifting on the water, long black hair beneath the tide. Armor pulls them into darkness, one by one and side by side. The current runs like something living, fierce enough to turn the day. It changes course without a warning, carrying banners far away. Tell me... is there really a city beneath the sea? Tell me... will the lights be waiting there for me? [Verse 2 - Fast,rhythmic] 潮は走る 恐ろしいほど速く 昨日の味方を押し流し 今日の勝者を入れ替える 旗が消える 鎧が沈む 声が波に呑まれていく 勝者だけが 歴史ではない 誰かが語るかぎり 死者はまだここにいる 琵琶が鳴くたび 海の底から その姿は蘇る [Breakdown - Death Growl] 俺の体に経を書け！ 夜が俺を見つけぬように！ 耳もくれてやる！ だが―― それで終わると思うな！ [Instrumental Break] [Chant - Low male voices] 色即是空 空即是色 色不異空 空不異色 無眼耳鼻舌身意 無色声香味触法 [Build - grows increasingly violent] [Harsh Vocal] 耳を奪え 血を流せ 指が動くかぎり 弦は鳴る 弦が歌うかぎり 死者は沈まない 海に沈んだ名を 俺の琵琶が引き上げる [Chorus - Clean, larger] Silks are drifting on the water, long black hair beneath the tide. Armor pulls them into darkness, one by one and side by side. The current runs like something living, fierce enough to turn the day. It changes course without a warning, carrying banners far away. Tell me... is there really a city beneath the sea? Tell me... will the lights be waiting there for me? [Bridge - Spoken, quiet] 誰かが残したかったから 物語はここにある 誰かが語ったから 死者はまだ名を持っている ならば 俺も語ろう [Final Breakdown - Death Growl] 鳴れ！歌え！ この海を越えろ！ 沈んだ声を もう一度ここへ！ 生者も死者も構わない 聞く耳があるなら―― 聞け！ [Final Chorus - Clean, emotional] Silks are drifting on the water, long black hair beneath the tide. Armor pulls them into darkness, one by one and side by side. The current runs like something living, racing through the narrow sea. Colors turn beneath the sunlight, then vanish where no eyes can see. Tell me... is there really a city beneath the sea? Tell me... will the lights be waiting there for me? She holds the child a little closer. The water rises around them. Tell me... [Outro - Instrumental]
