Missing Liar

歌詞

何時か観た夢の続き　追いかけてみては
始末に追えぬ結末　知らない振りした

人の嘘は今も　時を止めたまま
古の忘れ形見　地の底に隠して

今は見知らぬ　（現世の営み）
蚊帳の外から眺めてみる
のらり　くらり　手を伸ばして
届かぬ夢の心地よ

雲か霧か何か　漂う不快に
一人一人と消え行く　虚ろな風景に

終わりの来ない　（一人隠れ鬼）
未来に願いを託しては
よいか　まだか　聞く声さえ
遠き昔の幻想

いつからか消えた　小さな影を
追い続ける　小さな影を
掬い攫い　今果たすは
古き友との誓いよ

集いも集う　（魑魅魍魎共）
永遠には続かない宴に
人は去りて　家路につく
届かぬ影を見送る
今は見知らぬ　（人攫い鬼よ）
安らかな幻想の地に
萃い散りし　変わらぬ日々
差し伸べる手を掴めよ

Translation

I chase after a dream I once had
Whilst pretending not to know its inevitable conclusion.

While time is stopped, the lies of humans
Hide that ancient memento at the bottom of the earth.

Now, I try to gaze at the strange (activity of this world)
From the perspective of an outsider.
Lazily, lazily, I stretch out my hand.
It feels like a dream that I cannot reach…

In a drifting unpleasantness, whether it be clouds, fog, or something else,
They vanish one by one. The landscape is empty.

The end will not come (a lone demon hides)
To this future, which I entrust my wishes to.
Whether they be good or bad, even the voices I listen to
Are an illusion of the distant past.

Since when have those small shadows disappeared?
I continue to chase after them
And I scoop them up. Now,
I carry out the vow I made with my old friend.

They meet and gather (the evil spirits of the rivers and mountains)
During this feast, which will not last forever.
The humans leave and head home,
Seeing off the shadows that will not reach their destination.
Now, in an unfamiliar (o, kidnapping demon!)
Tranquil land of illusions,
We gather, then scatter, during those unchanging days.
Grab my outstretched hand!
