what is waiting for you? | |||
take you to harmony | |||

The hatred that was given birth to in | |||
you has taken stars | |||
and it turned it into poison | |||
which is killing you silently</pre></center> | |||

The music that was born from my own world has expanded even farther thanks to the movies of our designer, Maya. I hope that the world of "Xepher" expands again thanks to your play next. In that spirit, I gave the song a title beginning with the letter signifying the unknown, "X". | The music that was born from my own world has expanded even farther thanks to the movies of our designer, Maya.
