そう俺は夢を掴む者 野望のため刀を赤く染める
戦国の世が世であるから何を犠牲にしても天下を取る
何もかも省みずに故郷の母にも手紙書けず
己の未熟さを知り気付けば体は血に染まった
残酷な戦の痕
俺たちは敗れた人
敗者には救いさえもなく
無情に雨は降り注ぐ
墓標に夢は露と散る
遠く向こうから聴こえてくる
優しく悲しい旋律
少女が何処かで歌ってるようだ
透き通った声が響きわたる
ふと涙零れ落ちた
故郷が思い浮かんだ
歌声が俺に気付かせた
平穏が一番大切だと
もし生まれかわれるなら
この声の少女のように
歌声で人を救えるような
存在になりたいと思うんだ
今の俺がそうであるように
誰かの重荷を外せたなら 嗚呼

Yes, I am one who seizes their dreams
I stain my sword red for the sake of my ambitions
Because ours is a world of warring states1
I will take all under heaven, no matter what I have to sacrifice
I never looked back, or wrote a letter to my mother in my hometown
When I realized my own immaturity, my body was stained with blood
The scars of a cruel battle
We are the ones who were defeated
There is not even salvation for the vanquished
The rain pours down heartlessly
Dreams scatter as dew on gravestones
I hear it from far on the other side
A gentle and sad melody
It’s like a young girl is singing somewhere
Her crystal clear voice resounds
Suddenly, tears fell from my eyes
My hometown welled up in my mind
Her song made me realize
that peace is the most important thing
If I can be reborn
then like that girl with that voice
I want to be someone
who can save people with a song
If I were able to take someone’s burdens away
as mine are taken now, Ah!
This song was originally created using the Gakupo Vocaloid by mathru/KanimisoP. It was one of two Vocaloid songs chosen to be covered by GACKT himself (the other was Paranoid Doll).
1. “Warring states” being a reference to the Warring States Period (Sengoku Jidai) of Japanese history, from the 15th to 17th centuries.
