Kalafina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
時を超えて
滅び急ぐ世界の夢を
確かに一つ壊すだろう
躊躇いを飲み干して
君が望むモノは何?
こんな欲深い憧れの行方に
儚い明日はあるの?
子供の頃夢に見てた
古の魔法のように
闇さえ砕く力で
微笑む君に会いたい
怯えるこの手の中には
手折られた花の勇気
想いだけが頼る全て
光を呼び覚ます 願い
いつか君も誰かの為に
強い力を望むのだろう
愛が胸を捉えた夜に
未知の言葉が生まれて来る
迷わずに行けるなら
心が砕けてもいいわ
いつも目の前の哀しみに
立ち向かう為の
呪文が欲しい
君はまだ夢見る記憶
私は眠らない明日
二人が出会う奇跡を
勝ち取る為に進むわ
怯えるこの手の中には
手折られた花の刃
想いだけが生きる全て
心に振りかざす 願い
囚われた太陽の輝く
不思議の国の本が好きだった頃
願いはきっと叶うと
教えるお伽噺を 信じた (光と影の中)
静かに咲き乱れていた
古の魔法優しく
世界を変える力が
その手にあると囁く
終わらない夢を見よう
君と行く時の中で
想いだけが生きる全て
命を作るのは 願い
