Lyrics

Game Size

English

I lost my way in the dark
I seek it, but I see it nowhere
Then I see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

The shining starlight

(The shining starlight)

I lost my way in the dark
I seek it but I see it nowhere
Then I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

Long Version

English + Japanese

I’m walking down the street in the night How many nights have I been wandering? Feel no more loneliness, still less their tenderness It seems to be flat and boring I’ll go anywhere, I don’t care to lose everything All I wanna know is the reason why I’m me So tell me where to go, give me the power, let me go Now close my eyes and listen carefully I lost my way in the dark I seek it but I see it nowhere Then I just see the shining polarstar I'll never lose my own way If you are shining like the star in my eyes Lead me by your brilliant light 夜の静寂を抜け　彷徨える魂は 行き場のない　ぬくもりもない かりそめの幻 失うものは何もなくて 消滅に憧れる夜 瞳とじて　胸とき澄ませば 星が光を放つ 生けるものすべて迷う　この世界を 照らしだして　polarstar 希望という名の光が絶えないように 導いて　はるか遠く The shining starlight 目を逸らしてばかりいた 傷つくのが怖かった 乾いた風を集めて 真実をつかみたくて So tell me where to go, give me the power, let me go Now close my eyes and listen carefully I found my in the light Believe it, I can go anywhere Now I just see the shining polarstar I'll never lose my own way If you are shining like the star in my eyes Lead me by your brilliant light The shining starlight
