Crescent Cutlass
Takanori Nishikawa Lyrics

静寂積もりゆく雪さえ 幽かなる音を鳴らすなら
If even the accumulating silence of snow produces a faint sound, then listen closely and draw it in to play along in that instant.

耳を澄まし手繰り寄せて その刹那奏でるよう
Listen carefully and draw in that sound to play it in that moment.

この身に宿る業が 落とした闇から一縷 光を探し出すため
To search for a ray of light from the darkness that fate has casted upon me.

凍てつく炎飲み込むまでさ
Until I can swallow up this freezing flame.

貫け我が声 命の証しに
Pierce through with my voice as a testament of my life.

響け明媚で鋭利な一太刀と変われ
Let my voice resound in a bright and sharp cutlass.

描くは三日月 哀惜の欠片
I envision a crescent moon, a shard of sorrow.

満ちることなき心 叫び続ける
My heart, endlessly shouting in its emptiness.

木の葉 流れ落つ雫の 調べが記憶を引き戻す
The melody of leaves and dripping droplets brings back memories.

閉ざして消えてしまえたら 裏切りにも 出会わずに
If I could shut myself in and disappear, never to face betrayal.

天に賜し貴石 今も惹きつけて止まぬ 絶望凌ぐ希望も
Even now, I am drawn by the precious stone gifted by the heavens, and even my hope that overcomes despair.

慟哭で 切り裂く運命
I shall rip apart the fate that makes me weep.

常に優美で不敵な一齣と成れ
Always be a graceful and fearless scene.

描くは三日月 面影は遥か もう欠け落ちぬ 魂 歌い続ける
I envision a crescent moon, a distant memory, and my inexhaustible soul that keeps singing.

貫け我が声 命 尽きるまで
Pierce through with my voice until my life runs out.

描くは三日月 哀惜の欠片
I envision a crescent moon, a shard of sorrow.

満ちることなき心 叫び続ける
My heart, endlessly shouting in its emptiness.
