Imperfect Rook

歌詞

闇の底一人歩いている君
一度は柩に身体囚われていた
こころには血染めの
海が見える
そんな彼に魅かれた

さあ、飛び立ちなさい
純朴な頃の君は
何処へ向かう

片翼の鴉よ　力を求め
強くしがみついて　願う
悪魔のような
声だとしても
君はついていく
救い無き者に　光を

―いざないたまえ、彼の行く道に―
―ゆるしたまえ、彼の邪悪を―

広大な海の波耳を澄ます
鳥の囀りがかすかに聞こえる
声が届かないと
わかろうと
ずっと続けていて

あぁ、信じるしかない
彼が本当の闇に
落ちた時も

白き鴉よ　翼を得た
待ち望んでいた　願い
失われていく
手が届かない
ところへ行った
美しい羽は　虚空へ

―夜空に輝いた　魚は唄う―
―Al Bath Al Kaitos　鴉飼い馴らす―

さあ、我が子よ耐えなさい
美化をされて
汚れてる嘘を　枷に

幼き鴉よ　油にまみれ
翼ひとつ折る　時が
慰めの雨　降り続ける
涙は海へ
帰る時を待て

Translation

You are walking alone in the depths of darkness.
Your body was once imprisoned in a coffin.
Within your heart, a bloodstained sea
can be seen.
I was charmed by such a man.

Now, fly away!
You were innocent back then.
Where is that version of you going?

O one-winged raven, pursue strength!
Cling with all your strength and pray.
Even if your voice
is like that of a demon,
You will be with me.
Grant light to those without salvation!

—Invite me to the path he walks down—
—Forgive him of his sins—

I listen carefully to the grand ocean’s waves.
I can faintly hear the twittering of birds.
Even if they know their voices
will not reach,
They will continue, forever…

Ah, all I can do is believe
even during times when he has fallen
into true darkness.

O white raven, you have gained wings!
Your long-held wishes
are gradually lost.
They went somewhere
your hands can’t reach.
Your beautiful wings float into the empty sky.

―Sparkling in the night sky, the fish sings―
―Al Bath Al Kaitos. I tame the raven―

Now, my child, endure it!
Be made beautiful!
Corrupted lies will become your shackles.

O young raven! When the time comes
for you to be smeared in oil and have a wing broken,
Consoling rain will continue to fall.
Your tears will become an ocean
Awaiting your return.
