What Am I Fighting For

I am surrounded by a thousand guns and warrior’s crying, “They’re here!”
“Now brace yourself!”

Defeat is in our eyes,
a hundred, million, billion lies: “We will survive”
Now tell me what are we fighting for?

I can feel the pain and anger of the many lives we lost from violence
Now nobody can escape from the terror again…
And again we try to hide our hope but we will never give up, you know
You can’t erase our inner flame

When I look up, I feel I’m longing to forget this war, retreat, leave…
When I look back, I see a wave of soldiers look at me

So tell me how this ends
Will I live to see morning light?
Fear is filled in every breath
Sweat and blood runs down my chest
Will nobody save us all?
We have no time to wait, get up now
I’m not gonna die here
That’s what I’m fighting for

I wake up to chaos, crying, more explosions, rooftops flying… silence
I’m trapped in the darkness under the rubble
I can feel my senses fading
Falling deep into the shadow of death
I know my countdown starts right now

No more cries, living in fear, or lies
I cannot stay in this safehouse, by myself
What was I fighting for?
Who am I fighting for?
I want to fight for more!

So tell how me this ends
Will I live to see morning light?
Fear is filled in every breath
Sweat and blood runs down my chest
Can’t somebody save us all?
We have no time to wait, get up now
I’m not gonna die here
That’s what I’m fighting for

唯一変わらぬ 強者(つわもの)の末路 静かに　僕らのもとに下る 君の微笑み陰帯びる 上昇　迷走　転落　輪廻 人は答えを待つ I'm praying all the time 絶望の片隅で　赤く燃えた空広がり　挫けずに伝えたい Can you hear my voice いつしかの約束事は 天つ国(あまつくに)の露にさせはしないよ その時　please be here 唯一変わらぬ太陽の赤光 優しく　私の視界を覆う 君の温もりによく似た 欲望　善悪　情愛　同情 時は全てを奪う I'm praying all the time 争いが終るまで 日が沈む前に 草木が風に揺れるのを見る Can you hear my voice 帰り道閉ざす樹陰は 憂いながら絶えず見つめているよ その時　Please come back I'm praying all the time 絶望の片隅で　赤く燃えた空広がり　挫けずに伝えたい Can you hear my voice いつしかの約束事は 天つ国(あまつくに)の露にさせはしないよ その時　Please come back

The only one who never changes The fate of a warrior Silent descent to our roots I carry a picture of your smile Ascension, wandering, fall, rebirth Someone waits for an answer I'm praying all the time In this corner of despair, wide sky scorched red, I want to continue undaunted Can you hear my voice Quietly the promise Ceases shining in heaven's dew When it happens, please be here The red light of the sun, the only one that never changes Gently covers my vision It feels so much like your warmth Desire, morals, love, compassion Time will rob them all I'm praying all the time Until the struggle ends Before the night comes I will watch the greenery swaying in the wind Can you hear my voice The way home blocked by shade I will keep watch on it in sorrow When it happens, please come back I'm praying all the time In this corner of despair, wide sky scorched red, I want to continue undaunted Can you hear my voice Quietly the promise Ceases shining in heaven's dew When it happens, please come back

Connexion

The layer of dust is telling the story
Together with pride lying on the cold ground

Remember the day you sighed
When the last leaf of the dying tree
falling on the new green
If I divine your meaning would you stay here
Instead of leaving and breaking this connection

Do you see how things change
You used to be my flame
Just too faint to stay in the darkness and rain
You flee from me to somewhere I can not reach
And made a wall, a hedge between

I pray every night for the tree to blossom
And day after day keep breathing the silence
You know loneliness has almost devoured me
I'm longing for a thud wake me up in a sudden
If I can make it happen, would you come back
And give me the chance to fix this connection

Do you see how we change
There is no need to blame
Who can set my heart free
Everything has its trail
But deep inside I'm still waiting for you to be the light
Lead me to realize

(I tell myself a lie
No way to win the fight)

(I even never try
Just set the fear high)

(Holding my pride tight
Until your tears dry)

(Without you in my life
My sky is never bright)

Do you see how things change
You used to be my flame (to be my flame)

Just too faint to stay in the darkness and rain (darkness and rain)

You flee from me to somewhere I can not reach (I can not reach)

And made a wall, a hedge between

Do you see
(I tell myself a lie
No way to win the fight
I even never try
Just set the fear high)

To be my flame
(Holding my pride tight
Until your tears dry
Without you in my life
My sky is never bright)

Darkness and rain
(I tell myself a lie
No way to win the fight
I even never try
Just set the fear high)

I can not reach
(Holding my pride tight
Until your tears dry
Without you in my life
My sky is never bright)

今にも掴めそうな光が また遠くへ消えたよう 闇夜のドアの向こうに 耳を塞いでるあなたがいた 星の煌めきよどうか道を照らしてくれ 運命の流れをせき止めるすべもないならば たとえ見えない明日でも-あなたと- 手探りで進む-しかないなら- 地上を覆い尽くす灰を-渡って- 宵闇の靄を-吹き払おう- それでも走っていこう	The light that could be caught any moment Vanished far away again, it seems Through dark night's door You were there, not listening Glitter of the stars, light the way If there's no way to stop the flow of fate Even if I can't see tomorrow -with you- Advancing blindly -if it's hopeless- The ashes covering the ground -crossing them- Twilight's mist -I'll blow it off- And let's run

Translation

殻の中でズレてゆく感情が 体焦がし、うらはらに鳴いている You don't care about giving Care about what you've given up 動けるから終わらせないで Tangled like a thread Howling at the light Let the spark keep burning, keep moving you now 囚われの運命論者 Deep breathing, deep rooting inside 誰も知らないように Silently tears are running down against my will 雨よ、涙隠して 眠ることのない孤独な夜に 未知の未来に思いを馳せる You don't care about giving Care about what you've given up 求めるなら答えてくれよ 渇いてゆく同情が Let the spark 赤く　熱く燃えろ 誰にも消せないように 高く　舞い踊れ 灰の雨を降らし 裏切りの傘を広げて 黒の花が咲くように Let the spark keep burning, keep moving you now 囚われの運命論者 Deep breathing, deep rooting inside 誰も知らないように Silently tears are running down against my will 雨よ、涙隠して

Breaking from inside the shell, your emotions burn your body, in an inverted cry You don't care about giving Care about what you've given up You won't let it end if you can still move Tangled like a thread Howling at the light Let the spark keep burning, keep moving you now A captive fatalist Deep breathing, deep rooting inside As if no one knew Silently tears are running down against my will The rain will hide them In sleepless lonely nights My thoughts dwell on the uncertain future You don't care about giving Care about what you've given up Find the answer to your questions And thirst for sympathy Let the spark burn deep and red Like if nobody could disappear Dance on the high-rise Among the rain of ashes Unfold the traitor's umbrella Like if the black flower bloomed Let the spark keep burning, keep moving you now A captive fatalist Deep breathing, deep rooting inside As if no one knew Silently tears are running down against my will The rain will hide them

A Moment Of My Nightmare

Overnight, I dreamed of the little girl
Who brought me fresh flowers before?
Standing across, I can see through the wire fence
Am I scary? Or why is she looking at me in fear?

There’s a war inside of me all my life

Are we trying to find out who is guilty
by being one of the guilty?
I sing a distant song of love and redemption
For the moments of suffering in my nightmare

Run my girl, with all your strength, to serenity
Take bravery and purity with you
Never ever (ever) come back, forget me please
'Cause your kindness left me afraid of
what tomorrow may bring

I would rather get lost in my solitude

So long it takes to verify and assume
I dare not think about it what if it's real
I sing a distant song of love and redemption
For the moments of suffering in my nightmare

Schicksal

The previous definition has been blurred
All the past is like a long river
With you we silently stood on the bank
Who would have thought it?
Being caught in the whirlpool of tragedy
Shading into numbness my fear
I'm on the verge of losing my mind
The flame of war lit up the lifeless sky
It's so beautiful
Have I seen the light before?
Look back on history
Countries set up and split
People gather and leave
The tree leaves fall
Then claims new green
So, I believe in someday
Tenderly twilight will come
The shining stars tell the end
No matter I'm in heaven or hell
Always I hear the voice hidden in the wind
Never bend you knees or lower your head
Is this my destiny?
Still holding bravery? My friend
Or crouching in the dark without a cry
Come, look up the sky
Do you see the lemon moon?
I can see meanwhile
We will meet again soon, it's true
Tenderly twilight will come
The shining stars tell the end
No matter I'm in heaven or hell
Always I hear the voice hidden in the wind
Never bend you knees or lower your head
Beneath the birch
Rustling sigh
Fuzzy memory is polished
Tenderly twilight will come
The shining stars tell the end
No matter I'm in heaven or hell
Always I hear the voice hidden in the wind
Never bend you knees or lower your head
This is my destiny

Solar Sea

I climb over and over mountains
I cross over and over visions
That is gonna make it all the way to the last intrusion
It's a bill you really have to pay
Until the day you go down on knees

My old friend, what else do you wanna say
A sweet song spellbound, a lullaby of wounds
The only thing I did wrong was I've waited so long
Spinning my fate around, sealing my brain off
Never doubt what the truth is all about

Awake from long dream, sieged by solar sea
No way under endless ray to run free
Let the shadow retrieve
The ending comes to where it should be
Be aware, what you see is not what you achieve

I read again and again your words
My memory turns breathed and stirred
That is gonna make it all the way
To the last disillusion

It's a dish you really have to taste
Until the day no more hatred
My old friend, wish you a lovely journey
Fell in separation, longing for reunion

This time my God please bring me navigation
A crack of the dawn
Leading me to the front
Through the throng I truly found the world

Awake from long dream sieged by solar sea
No way under endless ray to run free
Let the shadow retrieve
The ending comes to where it should be
Be aware, what you see is not what you achieve

Awake from long dream sieged by solar sea
No way under endless ray to run free
Let the shadow retrieve
The ending comes to where it should be
Be aware, what you see is not what you achieve

Twilight

Earliest flowers of future bloom through twilight
The train leaves away from a long tunnel of death
Who’s paid the freight
Who else knows wrong or right
We are gonna be alright alright

A bell’s ringing to cast a chill
A whistle blows in a trill
The iron snake glides upon a cold rail
Beyond the veil, ending the tale

Can we fire our guns to pen the sonnet?
Cartridges would be ejected and reloaded
Just like our fate, would be refreshed in codes
Live a good mode

Earliest flowers of future bloom through twilight
The train leaves away from a long tunnel of death
Who’s paid the freight
Who else knows wrong or right
We are gonna be alright alright

Wheels rotate like gears in chains
Free hearts from dormant pain
Towards unknown cities chronologically
We’re gorging ourselves on the bane

Can a bomb spark the night as a firework?
Blood on the walls are going stale
Grapple with echoes of ghost addicts most
Go back the silent world

Earliest flowers of future bloom through twilight
The train leaves away from a long tunnel of death
Who’s paid the freight
Who else knows wrong or right
We are gonna be alright alright

Transcontinental stories never end
Rains from the sky descend like the pikes
We trust neither forethought nor hindsight
When the train stops we just say goodbye
Heading straight to the world of bright

Anna

Through love and hate, with joy and pain
We never say goodbye until we have no choice
For places we've been, for times we've shared
We raise a glass of smiles and tears
And cheer for friendship

Born in black and white
Hopes hide out of sight
God of fortune is miserly right
When rain batters from sky
Piercing eyes with sighs
The oath was drained by
Death sufficed

Wine on me, let's drink the taste of fate
Loneliness, good flavour for warriors
Be nameless, be weightless
Survived on the only aim
The sparks in my heart burnt all paths I found
Growing to an old wound
I heard what howling wolves are proud of
Iron and blood, dyed dreams by mud
Betrayed, invade
For a world more than light and shade

When definition fails, no more fairy tales
Princess is holy knight, heads are tails

Wine on me, let's drink the taste of souls
Mourning for the kids never play offshore
Be faceless, be painless
Survived without fire cannons

Wine on me, let's drink the taste of fist
What's gonna be left in adversity
Be brave, be wise
To witness the last eve

The sparks in my heart burnt all paths I found
Growing to an old wound
I heard what howling wolves are proud of
Iron and blood, dyed dreams by mud
Betrayed, invade
For a world more than light and shade

Through love and hate, with joy and pain
We never say goodbye until we have no choice
For stars we've watched, for nights we've stayed
We raise a glass of smiles and tears
And cheer for friendship

Ice & Blood

When walking side by side with someone
Always want having a different pace in left right
Once she takes a seemingly random step
Than I will, deliberately choose the other side
The other one goes left, you go right
Doesn't it like an accurate reply?
Standing on the opposite side, it is just a kind of satellite
Ice and blood can both melt into water, but
how can purity and sin coexist?

Dart into the fire, it hurts
It's not defy
Enjoy the pain, be convicted, as my desire
No need to be a paragon
Let rebellion be my name
How can one be called "alive"
I rewrite

There are some places between black and white
Can an electronic heart be redyed
He speaks truly who speaks the shade
Real or fake, suspicion's in my sight
Ice and blood are blending together at this moment
The coldest is the hottest
Facing the big fire, I dive
Who's satisfied
The one who kills the demon, also be dire
How excited you really are
How unperturbed that you act like
Flashback, almost forgot
We're in ONE

Dart into the fire, it hurts
It's not defy
Enjoy the pain, be convicted, as my desire
No need to be a paragon
Let rebellion be my name
How can one be called "alive"
I--

Chose every path rationally
Did not intend to flee
Every scene has been rehearsed in my mind, I've seen
Keeping many unknown stories
Relishing this real trembling
This ending turns into the REALITY

What I Have Known

Rolling, the wheels turn on a way, wind's blowing
Waving the hands which tell take care
But not a farewell
Time, blurs all the outlines
Who had been with me sailed from sight
Tears, be beautified so
Past is the past, should I define
I know, loneliness is the fate of who's fighting for tomorrow
Miles of rough will be so hard, way of EXILE
Loyalty, fieriness, run through those stories
Peace of mind once been torn apart and mended firmly
Lies were hated to bones, but it's like the melted snowflakes now
Though betrayal hurt so, after all waves, I still survive
I know, letting go is the answer of who's on a new road
Fighting means sacrifice but, I had accepted
I know, time to say goodbye, my dear friends
It's not the end, what I'm fighting for will never be changed
With thorough faith, we know
Going ahead is the fate of warriors
Then we'll meet someday, may beside the sea
Feeling the breeze
