CHOIR JAIL
鈴木このみ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

私よ燃えて...
燃えて抱きしめてみるのは
罪じゃないでしょう?
火で闇を祓え CHOIR JAIL
嘆いても夢は唄わない
此所で叫んだよ
「答えは誰が持ってるの」
俯いたままじゃ気付かない

君の瞳の中未来を探す
もしも奇跡が今を指すなら
にじむ涙ぬぐって
前を向いて歩こう
私を開けて...
こんな苦しさで何も見えない
私よ燃えて...
燃えて彼方へ
情熱は罪じゃないでしょう?
火で闇を祓え CHOIR JAIL
招いてよ胸の乙女たち
此所は宵の迷宮
「夜明けをどこで待ってるの」
震えてるだけじゃ変わらない
君を見つけたのは運命の仕業
なぜに命は儚く消える
問いは問いを呼ぶゆえ
愛を抱いて果てよう
秘密の先へ...
ゆれる悲しさは何を暴くの
秘密に触れて...
触れて確かな
現実を飲めばいいでしょう?
手を伸ばせ伸ばせ先へ...

眠れる森よ季節よ
咲き誇る花枯れて芽吹いて
私を開けて...
こんな苦しさで何も見えない
私よ燃えて...
燃えて彼方へ
情熱は罪じゃないでしょう?

火で闇を祓え
CHOIR JAIL, LONELY JAIL
