Sacrifice
Atsushi Sakurai Lyrics

What is wanted, what is dreamed of,
The desires and aspirations we have tend to get lost and forgotten in the chaos of the world.

Passes away into the shadows of the world.
Our hopes and dreams disappear into the obscurity of life.

If I could believe enough, I would know tomorrow.
Faith and belief provide insight and direction towards the future.

But alas, death's tide rises and I cannot step away
The inevitability of death looms large, making it difficult to escape and move forward.

Break through ...
An urgent plea to break free from the clutches of death and negativity.

The black shadow seduces me into death,
Death has a seductive allure and pulls the singer towards it.

I am becoming tainted all over.
The singer feels corrupted and tainted by the darkness around them.

Yet even now I live, and I can sing.
Despite the darkness, the artist continues to live and find solace in music.

Murdered voices, tears shed,
The pain and suffering caused by the loss of loved ones.

Goodbye ...
A farewell to loved ones who are now gone.

If only this one wish comes true,
A single wish or hope is all that is needed to bring warmth and light back into life.

Warmth ...
The desire for love and warmth amidst the coldness and darkness.

There is no wind, there are no stars,
The absence of hope and beauty in life.

They die like my hopes.
The loss of hope and dreams is akin to the death of nature's beauty.

Now to live through this night I sing.
Music is the source of hope and comfort in dark times.

I slip into darkness, fleeing the one shadow.
The artist escapes the darkness by fleeing from it.

If I sacrifice my dream to the devil,
The artist is willing to give up their dream in order to find a way out of the darkness.

I would sacrifice anything and everything beloved.
They are willing to give up everything in their life to escape the darkness.

Within this breast my indiscretion is carved
The guilt and shame of past mistakes are etched on the singer's heart.
