--Translation at the Bottom--

[インストゥルメンタル] [Instrumental]

[0:30] [Verse 1] 
静かな夜の奥に (Shizuka na yoru no oku ni)
囁く声が響く (Sasayaku koe ga hibiku)
影に閉じ込められた (Kage ni tojikomerareta)
消えない痛みの檻 (Kienai itami no ori)

[Pre-Chorus]
絡まる運命の糸 (Karamaru unmei no ito)
ほどけずに絡みつく (Hodokezu ni karamitsuku)
目を逸らせば楽になるの？ (Me wo soraseba raku ni naru no?)
答えを教えてよ (Kotae wo oshiete yo)

[Chorus]
壊れた夢の破片 (Kowareta yume no hahen)
この手のひらに落ちて (Kono te no hira ni ochite)
どこへ行けば自由になれるの？ (Doko e ikeba jiyuu ni nareru no?)
夜が囁く (Yoru ga sasayaku)
「まだ終われない」 ("Mada owarenai")

[Verse 2]
迷いの森の中で (Mayoi no mori no naka de)
真実さえも霞む (Shinjitsu sae mo kasumu)
誰かが描いた未来 (Dareka ga egaita mirai)
私は歩けるの？ (Watashi wa arukeru no?)

[Pre-Chorus]
壊れた時計の針 (Kowareta tokei no hari)
止まらずに軋む音 (Tomarazu ni kishimu oto)
過去を背負えば進めるの？ (Kako wo seoeba susumeru no?)
答えを探してる (Kotae wo sagashiteru)

[Chorus]
砕けた星の光 (Kudaketa hoshi no hikari)
私を照らしてくれる？ (Watashi wo terashite kureru?)
どこへ行けば自由になれるの？ (Doko e ikeba jiyuu ni nareru no?)
夜が微笑む (Yoru ga hohoemu)
「まだ終われない」 ("Mada owarenai")

[Bridge]
闇の中に手を伸ばす (Yami no naka ni te wo nobasu)
触れた光が儚くて (Fureta hikari ga hakanakute)
だけどまだ消えない炎 (Dakedo mada kienai honoo)
燃え尽きるまで— (Moetsukiru made—)

[Final Chorus]
壊れた夢の破片 (Kowareta yume no hahen)
この手のひらに落ちて (Kono te no hira ni ochite)
どこへ行けば自由になれるの？ (Doko e ikeba jiyuu ni nareru no?)
夜が囁く (Yoru ga sasayaku)
「まだ終われない」 ("Mada owarenai")

[Outro]
「まだ終われない…」 ("Mada owarenai…")

________________________________

[Verse 1]
A whisper echoes in the night
Calling out from deep inside
Trapped within this endless cage
A pain that never fades away

[Pre-Chorus]
Tangled threads of fate pull tight
Twisting, turning, no escape
If I look away, will it ease the weight?
Tell me now, I need to know

[Chorus]
Shattered pieces of broken dreams
Falling into my hands
Where do I go to find my freedom?
The night whispers
"It's not over yet"

[Verse 2]
Lost inside a hollow maze
Truth is slipping out of sight
Walking paths someone designed
But can I choose my own this time?

[Pre-Chorus]
Broken hands on frozen clocks
Turning, creaking, never stop
If I bear the past, will I move ahead?
Tell me now, I need to know

[Chorus]
Shattered stardust lights my way
Will it guide me through the dark?
Where do I go to find my freedom?
The night smiles
"It's not over yet"

[Bridge]
Reaching through the endless dark
Fingertips brush fragile light
Still this fire won’t burn out
Not until the very end—

[Final Chorus]
Shattered pieces of broken dreams
Falling into my hands
Where do I go to find my freedom?
The night whispers
"It's not over yet"

[Outro]
"It's not over yet..."
