I sway in the scarlet crimson red,
towards the end of my dream.
I cannot detach myself from you.
For countless times, I give up my progress and kill off my emotions.
With no place to go, my emotions are slowly awakening.
I understand very well that your unsullied smile
is an entity too cruelly distant from me.
Although my unhealing wound keeps on gnawing away my heart,
even now I can't completely suppress my thoughts that dwell in the darkness.
I sway in the scarlet crimson red,
towards the end of my dream.
The destiny of our encounter begins to turn.
With this secret known to no one,
I keep falling deeper and deeper down.
Without a doubt, I can no longer return, even if I had to atone for my sins.
As I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was rescued
by a pair of real and never-changing eyes.
However, the brighter the light is,
the darker the shadow will be when it creeps up on me.
The two beating hearts are like a pair of mirrors facing each other;
their similar but different pains continue on endlessly.
Burning in a scarlet crimson red
and purging everything,
that unrivaled mirage is now in motion.
Transcending firmly
one transient night after another,
without a doubt, I cannot escape, even if I were to drown in my sins.
I sway in the scarlet crimson red,
towards the end of my dream.
The destiny of our encounter begins to turn.
With this secret known to no one,
I keep falling deeper and deeper down.
Without a doubt, I can no longer return, even if I had to atone for my sins.
