Japanese

悲しい月夜涙枯れて
孤独な夢　凍りつく心染めて

風を抱いて瞳閉じて　
堕落な夢　刃を掲げて突き刺し

AH　この空の果てには　永久に眠る

狂い咲く花の妖精　奪い去る全ての夢を
麗しく舞い踊るキミよ　与えようわずかな涙を

Romaji

kanashii tsukiyo namida karete
kodoku na yume koori tsuku kokoro somete

kaze wo daite hitomi tojite
daraku na yume yaiba wo kakagete tsuki sashi

AH kono sora no hate ni wa towa ni nemuru

kuruizaku hana no yousei ubai saru subete no yume wo
uruwashiku mai odoru kimi yo ataeyou wazuka na namida wo

English

The sad moonlight dries away my tears
Dreams of solitude color my frozen heart

Embracing the wind, I close my eyes
Brandishing my sword, I pierce corrupted dreams

Ah, I sleep at the edge of this blue sky

The spirit of an out-of-season flower steals away our dreams
To you, dancing so beautifully, she entrusts only a teardrop

Long Version

Japanese

悲しい月夜涙枯れて 孤独な夢　凍りつく心染めて 風を抱いて瞳閉じて　 堕落な夢　刃を掲げて突き刺し AH　この空の果てには　永久に眠る 狂い咲く花の妖精　奪い去る全ての夢を 麗しく舞い踊るキミよ　与えようわずかな涙を AH その胸の奥には 光り閉ざす 砕け散る見果てぬ大地 巡り会う最後の瞬間に 抱きかかえ凍える肌よせ 祈りさえ届かめ世界へ

Song Production Information

It totally doesn't have a "HAPPY SKY" feel to it, but we can put it in the "feeling of blue sky" section, since I made it in the image of looking up at the sky.

Video Production Information

Once again, the music, the lyrics, everything about this song just hits the spot.
Flashback! "F story", part 2 of 3. I wanted to have the contents of the video match up with the atmosphere of the lyrics as closely as possible. Well ... before I've mostly done SF, so this time it's just F. I especially like the way the voltage cranks up in the second half, like the lyrics does. For me, the AKIRA YAMAOKA sound is always at the top of the ranking.
