Original	Romanized	Translation
写りし　水面に　生は芽吹く 愚かな　使命に　神は嘆く	utsurishi minamo ni sei wa mebuku oroka na shimei ni kami wa nageku	Upon the reflective water’s surface, life buds. God laughs at my foolish mission.
花は　咲き乱れ　夢に導く	hana wa sakimidare yume ni michibiku	The flowers bloom in profusion – I lead them to a dream.
甘美なるは生命 花は朽ち種となり紡ぐ運命	kanbi naru wa seimei hana wa kuchi tane tonari tsumugu unmei	Life grows sweet. Fate spins a tale of the flowers, which wither and become seeds.
その眼に映る　太陽さえ　死へ急ぎ	sono me ni utsuru taiyou sae shi he isogi	Even the sun reflected in those eyes hurries towards death…
土に還り巡る 時は進みゆく　残酷に	tsuchi ni kaeri meguru toki wa susumiyuku zankoku ni	It returns to the earth. Time progresses forward, cruelly.
摂理の中に死にゆく	setsuri no naka ni shi ni yuku	It heads towards death, within divine providence.
写りし　水面は　黒く濁り 最後の　使命に　人を裁く	utsurishi minamo wa kuroku nigori saigo no shimei ni hito wo sabaku	The reflective water’s surface is clouded black. During my last mission, I judge humans.
花は　咲き乱れ　闇へ誘 (いざな) う	hana wa sakimidare yami he izanau	The flowers bloom in profusion – I tempt them towards the darkness.
甘美なるは生命 花は朽ち種となり未来へ繋ぐ	kanbi naru wa seimei hana wa kuchi tane to nari mirai e tsunagu	Life grows sweet. The flowers wither and become seeds, bound to the future.
その地に芽吹　生命さえ　消え果てて	sono chi ni mebuku inochi sae kiehatete	Even the life budding upon that land vanishes, completely…
土に還り終える 時は進みゆく　死すべく	tsuchi ni kaeri oeru toki wa susumiyuku shi subeku	It returns to the earth and concludes. Time progresses forward so it can die.
何が生きる意味 誰が生きる意味	nani ga ikiru imi dare ga ikiru imi	What is my reason for living? Who is my reason for living?
消えていく定め　florere	kieteiku sadame florere	A law, that begins to vanish. To bloom…
明日 (あす) を生きる意義 今日で終わる意味	asu wo ikiru imi kyou de owari imi	The reason why I live tomorrow. The reason why everything ends today.
消えていく定め	kieteiku sadame	A law, that begins to vanish.
—さぁ、全てを終わらせましょう……—	—saa, subete wo owarasemashou......—	—Come, let us bring about the end of all…—
その眼に映る　太陽さえ　死へ急ぎ	sono me ni utsuru taiyou sae shi he isogi	Even the sun reflected in those eyes hurries towards death…
土に還り巡る 時は進みゆく　残酷に	tsuchi ni kaeri meguru toki wa susumiyuku zankoku ni	It returns to the earth. Time progresses forward, cruelly.
暗い世界の中　一つの生が 目覚める時が来る 死すべき運命と… 火は灯されている	kurai sekai no naka hitotsu no sei ga mezameru toki ga kuru shi subeki unmei to… hi wa tomosareteiru	The time comes for that single life Within the dark world to awake. Along with that mortal fate… The flame is lit.
