Lyrics

Japanese

現在(いま)を、失った 世代よ。
未来(あす)を、託された 世代よ。
 
見据えた全ての「現実」を、歌おう。
Re:GENERATION。。。
 
継ぎはぎで繕った 世界に目を覆った。
教えてよ、僕たちのゆく末を。
 
理不尽に削られて すり減ってゆく心。
希望的観測の 余地はない。
 
それでもひとつ。ゆるぎない真実。
「たしかに ぼくは、生きている」
 
世界は、決して、揺るがずに。
ぼくを、ぼくらを、つきはなす。
痛みが、いつか。
…「再生」の 糧へとなりますように。
 
世界は、決して、揺るがずに。
ぼくを、ぼくらを、つきはなす。闘いはまだ、終わらない。
…ぼくが、ぼくであるために。

 
壊し壊され ゆくことも。
傷つくことも あるのだと。
せめてささやかな反抗を。
…きみが、きみであるために。
