Lyrics

Japanese

星の気まぐれが　離散する地平のかなた
沈黙をたべて　君は生まれた

生まれいづる　奇跡を得た　すべての命に　祝福を！
命なき全てのイドラに　告別を！

虚空に貼り付いた　うた　引き剥がしたって
見つかるのは　自分なんだ　あきらめようか
全ての　言葉と　全ての旋律は鳴った

次々に　生まれてく あたしたち
明日と　昨日に　からめられながら
意味を喪くした　うたに
せめて名前をつけてあげる　かりそめの名を

おはよう　せかい　あたらしいおもちゃです
リズムにあわせ　わんつー　わんつー
メロディかなで　ららららら
どうせ あばれたって　きえたって　うたいさけんだって
せかいはかわらないんだ

だからあたしが
何度でも滅ぼしてあげる　物語が続く限り
あたらしい君が　また生まれてくるでしょう
いつまでも　待っててあげる　約束の地で
喜びのうた　つなぐ言葉　あたらしいメロディ
全てを君に託して

星が降りそそぐ　量子と魔法のいたずらで
キラキラと　ずっと　だましつづけて
