Kanji:

誰のせいでもない事なら

誰が負うべきなのだろう

抗い続ける先には

どれだけの現実があるか？

刻む秒針　追いかけるほどに

置き去りにされてゆく

まだ息の絶えない悲しみさえ

この雨が消してゆく

止められない時間(とき)のように　降り続く雨

視界を遮るから　もうなにも見えない

それでも今進むなら　鼓動を止めて

偽善と呼べばいいだろう　雲を断つ光　その意味を知ろう

変わらない日々があるために

どれだけの犠牲が要るだろう

流れたすべて呑み込むように

また雨が降り出した

悔やみ切れない過去のように　乾かない雨

この腕を叩くから　なにも握れない

それでもまだ光こそ　正しいと言うなら

目を逸らすことになる　例えば誰かを　傷つけたとて

いつまでも続く長い雨

容赦なく熱を奪う

なすがままのこの心　冷え切ってく

胸の奥で鳴る音が　聴こえるのなら

理由なんてそれ以外　ありえはしないだろう

止められない時間(とき)のように　降り続く雨

視界を遮るから　もうなにも見えない

それでもなお進むしか　ないというなら

答えは必要ない　終わったその時　残ったなにかが

真実でいい

English:

If it’s really no one’s fault,

Then who should take the blame?

Once this continuous struggle ends,

How much of reality will remain?

Chasing after the hands of the clock,

We’re left further and further behind.

Sorrow is far from being out of breath,

But this rain extinguishes all.

The rain continues to fall, like the unstoppable flow of time.

It obscures our vision and nothing can be seen.

But if we still intend to proceed, we’ll have to stop our beating hearts—

You can call it hypocrisy if you like. A light will cut through the clouds, so pay attention to its meaning!

These days never never seem to change,

So how much will we sacrifice in the end?

As if swallowing up everything that was washed away,

The rain began falling again.

This rain never dries, like a past that can’t be regretted enough.

It hammers away at our arms and we can’t grasp anything.

But if it’s still true that light is right,

We’ll have to avert our eyes, even if it means hurting someone in the end.

This endlessly long rain

Mercilessly steals our passion away.

Our hearts follow suit, growing cold.

But if we can hear the sound deep inside our chests,

There’s surely no greater meaning!

The rain continues to fall, like the unstoppable flow of time.

It obscures our vision and nothing can be seen.

But if we really have no choice but to proceed,

We don’t need an answer. As long as what remains in the end

Is truth.
