Lyrics

Japanese

残酷な天使のように
少年よ、神話になれ

蒼い風がいま
胸のドアを叩いても
私だけをただ見つめて
微笑んでるあなた
そっとふれるもの
もとめることに夢中で
運命さえまだ知らない
いたいげな瞳

だけどいつか気付くでしょう
その背中には
遥か未来 めざすための
羽根があること

残酷な天使のテーゼ
窓辺からやがて飛び立つ
ほとばしる熱いパトスで
思い出を裏切るなら
この宇宙を抱いて輝く
少年よ、神話になれ

Romaji

zankoku na tenshi no youni
shounen yo, shinwa ni nare

aoi kaze ga ima
mune no DOOR wo tataitemo
watashi dake wo tada mitsumete
hohoenderu anata
sotto fureru mono
motomeru koto ni muchuu de
unmei sae mada shiranai
itaigena hitomi

dakedo itsuka kidzuku deshou
sono senaka ni wa
haruka mirai mezasu tame no
hane ga aru koto

zankoku na tenshi no THESE
madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
hotobashiru atsui PATHOS de
omoide wo uragiru nara
kono sora wo daite kagayaku
shounen yo shinwa ni nare
