Redemption

I swear that I would never forget

Your form quietly returns to space

What else can I do besides avenge you?

 

I stared forever, until my tears withered away
My overflowing sadness doesn't disappear with your footprints
I swore that I would never forget

Letting my broken wings flap
I'll show them everything disappearing
One day, I'll meet my end
Up until the final bell stops tolling

You told me
To live as if you were to die tomorrow
Feel as if you were to be reborn now
Face as if you were to live forever

I traced the red tears with my trembling fingers

I had nothing to lose,
Nothing to lose

My fleeting memories will fall into darkness
Your last smile comes into my mind, and disappears
Leaving behind only warmth

Right now, I can't be cured by words
That are only gentle
I'm just going to give my everything
To this battle that continues on endlessly

Some day, everyone will return to space
You don't need words for goodbyes
Make it up

Letting my broken wings flap
I'll show them everything disappearing
One day, I'll meet my end
Up until the final bell stops tolling

Right now, I can't be cured by words
That are only gentle
I'm just going to give my everything
To this battle that continues on endlessly

Redemption...
Redemption...
