Kanji:

[嘉禄] 眠りの檻から目覚める間際に

[黒白] 消え行く過去へと拍手を送ろう

[嘉禄] 記憶の森から色彩(いろ)を連れ出して

[黒白] 喪失(うし)なう限(おわ)りへ別れ告げる

[嘉禄] 透明な心を虹で染め抜いて…此処へはやくおいでよ

(Damnant quod non intellegunt.　Vanitas vanitatum.)

[黒白] 虚ろな器を壊し交わる時

(Aut disce aut discede…　Disce gaudere.)

[嘉禄] 分かたれた

[全] 光と影が…

[嘉禄] 壊れるまでは遊んでいればいい

[黒白] 壊れるまでは畏(おそ)れ抱き、朽ちればいい

[嘉禄] 必要(いら)なくなるから…もうすぐね

[黒白] 覗けない箱の中求めて…終わる

[嘉禄] 識(し)ればいい、全ては儚い

[黒白] 識(し)ればいい、望むならばそれは叶い

[嘉禄] 旧びた衣は棄てて暁へと

[黒白] 戯れ言を纏う衣は棄てて暁へと

[黒白] 煙に紛れて彷徨う随(まにま)に

[嘉禄] 消え行く過去にも望みをあげよう

[黒白] 言葉の海から虚偽(うそ)を探すがいい

[嘉禄] 繋いだその手に別れ告げて

[嘉禄] 燠(あたた)かい光…融けて歔(な)けるなら…其処へいけばいいよね

(Damnant quod non intellegunt.　Vanitas vanitatum.)

[黒白] 渇いた命を充たす時に至る

(Aut disce aut discede…　Disce gaudere.)

[嘉禄] 分かれゆく

[全] 未来と現在(いま)が…

[嘉禄] 鳴り止むまでは遊んでいればいい

[黒白] 鳴り止むまでは好きなように、歌えばいい

[嘉禄] 必要(いら)なくなるから…もうすぐね

[黒白] 掛けられた錠の鍵求めて…終わる

[嘉禄] 願望(ねが)いは、全ては儚い

[黒白] 願望(ねが)いは、心を殺すならば叶い

[嘉禄] 違(たが)えた祈りは棄てて始まりへと

[黒白] 永遠に惑う祈りは棄てて始まりへと

[嘉禄] 壊れるまでは遊んでいればいい

[黒白] 壊れるまでは畏(おそ)れ抱き、朽ちればいい

[嘉禄] いらなくなるから…もうすぐね

[黒白] 覗けない箱の中求めて…終わる

[嘉禄] 識(し)ればいい、全ては儚い

[黒白] 識(し)ればいい、望むならばそれは叶い

[嘉禄] 旧びた衣は棄てて暁へと

[黒白] 戯れ言を纏う衣は棄てて暁へと


English:

[Karoku] Just before I wake up from the cage of sleepiness

[Uro] I’ll send an applause to the vanishing past

[Karoku] I’ll bring forth the colors from the forest of memories

[Uro] I’ll tell my farewells until the limits of losing it

[Karoku] Dye a transparent heart by a rainbow… Come here to us quickly

(They condemn what they do not understand. Vanity of vanities.)

[Uro] When the vacant container breaks and cross

(Either learn or leave … Learn to be glad)

[Karoku] It was shared

[All] The light and shadow are …

[Karoku] Until it breaks, it’s okay if I play with it

[Uro] Until it breaks, it’s okay if I embrace fear and die

[Karoku] Because soon… I’m no longer needed

[Uro] It’ll end with… seeking for the box that can’t be peeked

[Karoku] I should determine, everything is transient

[Uro] I should determine, it’ll be granted if I desire for it

[Karoku] Abandon the old clothes to the dawn

[Uro] Abandon the worn white lies to the dawn

[Uro] Follow wanderingly in the covering smoke

[Karoku] I’ll give hope to the vanshing past

[Uro] It’s okay to search for the lie in the sea of words

[Karoku] I’ll tell my farewells to that hand that was connected

[Karoku] The warm light… if you melted and cry… then it’s okay to go there right

(They condemn what they do not understand. Vanity of vanities.)

[Uro] Leading to the time when I satisfy the thirsty life

(Either learn or leave … Learn to be glad)

[Karoku] It was divided

[All] The future and now are…

[Karoku] Until it stops ringing, it’s okay if I play with it

[Uro] Until it stops ringing, it’s okay if I sing as I like

[Karoku] Because soon… I’ll be needed

[Uro] It’ll end with… seeking for the key for the sealed lock

[Karoku] Desires, everything is transient

[Uro] Desires, it’ll be granted if I suppress my heart

[Karoku] It starts with abandoning the prayer that had changed

[Uro] It starts with abandoning the prayer to be puzzled for eternity

[Karoku] Until it breaks, it’s okay if I play with it

[Uro] Until it breaks, it’s okay if I embrace fear and die

[Karoku] Because soon… I’m no longer needed

[Uro] It’ll end with… seeking for the box that can’t be peeked

[Karoku] I should determine, everything is transient

[Uro] I should determine, it’ll be granted if I desire for it

[Karoku] Abandon the old clothes to the dawn

[Uro] Abandon the worn white lies to the dawn
