Was ki ra qwitte laa yaha yanje ware yos erphy.
流れてゆく 雲の船を 遠く見送り
清らかな この景色を 瞳に宿そう
画用紙に 描いてゆく 優しい世界
ささやかな日々が 嬉しくて
だけど 季節は 足早に過ぎてく
時の砂 零れないで
夜が来る その度に
永遠の暗闇が 怖くて
あなたのぬくもり 探してた
Irea sabl

約束を はぐらかした 帰りの小道
夕焼けが 眩しすぎて 少しうつむいた
いくつもの奇跡 集めても
叶わぬ願い 胸を貫いてゆく
この体に 流れてる
時の砂 消えてゆく
瞬きさえ 惜しむように
あなたの笑顔を 見つめた
Nn num ra chs rre irea sabl lautyca tienar,
Elle ides tes futare, elle near tes morto.

時の砂 零れてゆく
瞳閉ざし 眠る日は
色褪せない 笑顔みだけを

例えこの手が ふれ合えなくても
この声が届かなくても
ねぇ わたしは ここにいるよ

The song "トキノスナ" by 志方あきこ begins with nonsensical and seemingly random lyrics in the form of a mantra. The first verse describes the act of bidding farewell to a moving ship of clouds, and the desire to etch this pure scenery into one's eyes. The second verse describes a gentle world that the singer wants to draw on a sheet of paper and share with someone dear; however, time passes quickly, and the seasons change faster than expected. In the chorus, the singer begs time not to flow like sand that slips away with each passing night. She is afraid of the eternal darkness that awaits her when she can't find the warmth of the one she's seeking.
The next few verses are harder to decipher because they are sung in a made-up language. But it seems to describe a deserted path on which the singer once broke a promise, perhaps to someone she loves. The sunset was too bright, and she couldn't keep her head up. She feels like her hopes are unmatched, and this weighs heavily on her heart. She realizes that the flowing sand of time in her body is disappearing rapidly, and she wants to keep that warm smile in her heart. In the last verse, the song describes the sadness of the end of the story but the happiness of the irreplaceable memories that continue to shine forever. The song ends with a promise that even if the singer can't touch her beloved or reach their voice, she will always be there with them in spirit.

Song lyricsThis is for you to always smile.This is for you to always remember me with an smile in my face.Seeing off at the distance the ship of the flowing clouds,
this clean scenery will be lodged within my eyes.I want to show the gentle world I will sketch in this canvas with all my precious feelings.These modest days are always filled with happiness,
but the seasons always pass at such a quick pace.Please, don't let the sands of time continue falling.
Every time that happens, the night comes,
and scared of the eternal darkness, I always searched for your warmth.
Silver SandThe Sands of TimeGold and silver colors softly continue falling.
The path of return filled with evaded promises,
and the overly dazzling sunset made me depressed.Even if many miracles were gathered,
the unfulfilled wishes would still pierce through my heart.Flowing over my body,
the sands of time disappear.
And to value even a simple
twinkling of light, I searched for your smile.
The silver sand continues falling endlessly,from past to future, from life to death.It coils into grayish white swirls,heads into the gentle mouth of a river,and flows towards the country of peace.
The end of an story is a little sad,
however, my irreplaceable memories will always shine dazzlingly.
At times cold, at times gentle,embracing the past to heal these wounds carved in my heart.
The sands of time continue falling down,
and at the day when I finally close my eyes to sleep,
I want to leave to you just my smile, which will never fade away.
Even if our hands cannot touch each other anymore,
even if my voice cannot reach you anymore,
I will always be here.
My heart will be at your side,
forever, forever...
StoryA demon king lived in a castle on the outskirts of a village.
The villages were afraid of the demon king.
The demon king's presence instilled such fear within them that they cannot farm, and spent every day with empty stomachs.
On a certain day, a youngster in the village volunteered to slay the demon king.
The villagers were overjoyed, and praised the youngster as a hero.
The youngster's sense of justice was stronger than most people's, and in hopes of defeating the demon king
He refined his sword skills every day.
The hero summoned up his courage, and headed towards the demon king's castle.
And reached the throne room of the demon king.
There sat the demon king.
Come, let us fight, demon king!! said the brave hero
However, the demon king threw one look at the hero, and timidly hid behind her chair.
The demon king said
I'll give you all the food you want, so please don't take my life!
The hero was shocked.
The demon king took the hero into her garden.
Many seedlings were planted there.
Just by living, I bring misfortune to everyone.
If I cease to exist, then everyone can live happily ever after.
But even if I want to die, I'm too scared to.
I thought that I could at least prevent them from suffering due to hunger, so I planted some watermelons.
Thereafter, the hero and the demon king tended to the watermelons together.
The demon king seemed to be very happy.
Which was expected, really, since it was the first time that she enjoyed farming with another.
True to their efforts, many big watermelons soon sprung up
The demon king and the hero were very happy.
And then the hero took the watermelons to the village for everyone to eat.
The hero returned to the village, and told the villagers about the demon king.
But the villagers would not believe him no matter how hard he persuaded them.
At the end of the day, they thought that the hero betrayed them for the demon king
And threw stones at him, chasing him out of the village.
The watermelons he made just for them were smashed.
The hero returned to the demon king's side and cried in regret.
The demon king comforted him.
And together, they ate the watermelons.
The hero was shocked at how good they tasted.
He expressed his thoughts to the demon king, and made the demon king happy.
The next day, the demon king was nowhere to be found as the hero woke up.
In the garden, the harvested watermelons were piled up like mountains, and a letter was left behind.
I'm going on a little trip.
I'll leave these watermelons and this castle to you, Mr. hero.
Please tell the villagers that you've defeated the demon king and taken these watermelon fields.
I'm very, very sure that they'll be happy.
Please don't worry about me.
Mr. hero, when you helped me plant these watermelons
For the first time, I thought it was okay for me to be alive.
I felt like you were telling me that.
Because you were always by my side to cheer me on, I was able to make so many watermelons
I was able to find hope in this world.
So, thank you.
I don't feel lonely anymore. I'm very content.
You saved me, my hero
Even if we can't meet, I'll always be with you.
The hero stared at the mountain of watermelons, and cried.

ノーマルエンドと共に流れる紙芝居とこのトキノスナ。
紙芝居の字幕を見ると切なくて切なくて悲しくも考えさせられる。サキちゃんとアルファージがもたらす運命を描いていたんだろうな・・・
ノーマルエンドはサキちゃんまたはフィンネルが犠牲になる上にアルシエルの今後の運命を考えると色々救われない・・・（最後までやるとその意味が実感する）

何処か懐かしい感じがして
心が涙に奪われてゆくようで
魂そのものが悲しさに溢れていく
何故だかトキノスナを繰り返してきたのかもしれないと、そう感じる
