planet illusion

words: Shinichiro Yamashita + sat
music: Kenji Arai, Satoshi Yaginuma
arrangement: Satoshi Yaginuma

in the darkness covering the infinite sky, in the illusions deceiving the night
how far will a shouting voice travel until it loses its mind?

the Milky Way simply exists, vast and border-less, to control all that exists
even thousands drowned in sorrow are ruled by its 0s and 1s

this scene is too much for my vision to take in all at once
I’m searching for stars stained in silence

in the darkness covering the infinite sky, in the illusions deceiving the night
how far will a shouting voice travel until it loses its mind?

our central star produces heat in the coldness of space
it nurtures a few dreams even in the injuring dark

my way ahead will not be blocked, it’s ignorant to expect such
but I cannot walk right now so I remain lost

I wonder if there, in the new dimension,
the path* unseen will someday appear, illuminated by the waning moon?

sinking into the infinite abyss are the tears of this planet, the resolution
a miracle* that’ll move my spirit is my guidepost to that far-off place

the infinity in my mind is lies beyond the unknown where a revolution is awaking
colors of dreams that everyone holds will shine, so will that era too

I flapped my wings towards the infinite sky…
illuminated by the waning moon…

*these two words in this case are homonyms in Japanese. Something I find really interesting, perhaps intentional? =D

mugen no sora oou yami   yoru wo madowasu illusion
kuruu you ni sakebu koe wa   hatashite toko made todoku no ka

ginga wa subete suberu you ni   hiroku hate nakuta da soko ni iru
ikusen no kanashimi sae mo   0 (zero) to 1(ichi) ni shikubasarete

tsukami kirenai   toki no vision wa   ooki sugiru hito KOMA

kagen no tsuki ni terasarete…
mugen no sora ni habataita…
