Lyrics

Japanese

宵闇　艶を放つ逆月へと白き腕を差し伸べて
「玉響の別れよ」と祈る君の目　はらり　はらり

魂の火抗った中　逆月が透かした　問いを飲み干して
墨色に輝ける　空を仰いだ　ふたり　ふたり

白刃の音こだます　曙(あけぼの)にまほろば　愛と酔いしれた
我が身は君の露に触れて惑った　ゆらり　ゆらり

濡烏色の髪梳きながら　独り　独り　呟いた
魂の火抗った中　夢は虚ろ　まほろばさえ

暁　艶を放つ逆月よ　見えざる　月の輝きよ
我は誓う必ず　ここに帰ると祈り永久に

Romaji

yoiyami tsuya wo hanatsu sakazuki e to shiroki ude wo sashinobete 
"tamayura no wakareyo" to inoru kimi no me harari harari

tama no ho aragatta naka sakazuki ga sukashita toi wo nomi hoshite
sumiiro ni kagayakeru sora wo aoida futari futari

byakujin no ne kodamasu akebono ni mahoroba ai to yoishireta
wagami wa kimi no tsuyo ni furete madotta yurari yurari

kure karasuiro no kamisukinagara hitori hitori tsubuyaita 
tama no ho aragatta naka yume wa utsuro mahoro basae

akatsuki tsuya wo hanatsu sakazuki yo miezaru tsuki no kagayaki yo
warewa chikau kanarazu koko ni kaeru to inori towa ni
