『滅びの教室』　#クロスノーツ

[Verse 1] 黒板には 消えかけた文字 誰も読めない 古い約束 窓の外 ちぎれた旗が まだ勝利を 信じて揺れてる 背広着た 少年たちが 遠い日には 英雄の顔で 地図の角 赤く塗りつぶし 夢の後を 城壁にした [Chorus] これは 滅びの教室の歌 拍手の後で 静まり返るホール 選ばれたはずの 迷い子たちが 目の前だけを 照らしていた 遠くを見る 目を捨ててしまった 言葉ひとつすら 届かぬまま [Verse 2] 正しいと教え込まれた答え 丸をつける 震える指先 異なる声 すべてを誤りと 歪んだ剣で 切り捨てていく 細い橋 次々に焼き払い 平坦な道だけ 石畳にして 足元しか見えない行列 気づけば皆 崖の淵に [Chorus] これは 滅びの教室の歌 拍手の後で 静まり返るホール 選ばれたはずの 迷い子たちが 目の前だけを 照らしていた 遠くを見る 目を捨ててしまった 言葉ひとつすら 届かぬまま [Bridge] 誰かがこの舵を 握らせたのか 名前だけが 歴史に残る 船底に穴を開けたのは 拍手していた 大衆の沈黙 消えゆく声　名簿にない子ども 歌えぬ歌　教わらぬ歴史 明日よりも　今日の利を選び 明日ごと　手放していった [Chorus] これは 滅びの教室の歌 最後の鐘が 空に鳴り響いた 選ばれたはずの 迷い子たちが 自分の鏡だけを 磨き続けた 守るべきものを 知らぬまま 誰もいない場所へ 船を漕ぎ出した The Classroom of Ruin – English Lyrics (Unofficial Translation) [Verse 1] Faded words remain upon the blackboard An old promise no one can read Beyond the window, a torn flag is waving Still believing in a victory long dead Boys in suits, with faces of the young Once they wore the faces of heroes They painted every corner of the map in red And built stone walls upon the ruins of their dreams [Chorus] This is the song of a classroom in ruins Silence falls when the applause is gone Lost children, chosen as they were Lighting only what was right before their eyes They threw away the eyes that looked beyond While not a single word could reach them [Verse 2] The answer they were taught was always right Shaking fingers mark the circle Every different voice is branded “wrong” And cut away by a twisted sword One by one, they burned the narrow bridges Stone-paved only the roads that seemed easy A procession staring only at their feet Until they found themselves upon the edge [Chorus] This is the song of a classroom in ruins Silence falls when the applause is gone Lost children, chosen as they were Lighting only what was right before their eyes They threw away the eyes that looked beyond While not a single word could reach them [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Who put the wheel into their hands? Only their names remain in history Who pierced the hull beneath the waterline? The silence of the masses who were applauding Vanishing voices, children absent from the roll Songs never sung, histories never taught Choosing today’s profit over tomorrow They gave away tomorrow itself [Final Chorus] This is the song of a classroom in ruins The final bell is ringing through the sky Lost children, chosen as they were Polishing nothing but the mirrors of themselves Never knowing what they should have protected They sailed away to somewhere no one lives
