[flickers lights on and off repeatedly]

swaying like waves on the sea
singing ephemeral dreams, thoughts flowing out of reach
ceaselessly, tides ever change
flowing like time, running after the dawn

face towards the light, shadows out of sight
take a hold of the pure blade of sacred gold
let all behold
a single blow to waken all to hope

sing of a prayer for peace
crystalline lights sparkling, and softly scattering
night giving way to the dawn, daybreak's
reflection upon one's thoughts


swaying like waves on the sea
singing ephemeral dreams, thoughts flowing out of reach
ceaselessly, tides ever change
flowing like time, running after the dawn

towards darkness turn, gentle brightness spurn
and ascend the bare throne of ivory
beguiling thee,
one and all, will surely be deceived

spinning of duplicity
languidly setting, the ebon sun falls away
day fades away to the dusk, twilight's
reflection upon one's thoughts


no matter the path you choose there's no mistake, this is your fate
of grief and of joy, of regret, and dreams of what may lay beyond
the pathway ahead is full of suffering, with no respite
and proof of your life will be marked as thorns and scars upon your heart


sinking within the deepest ravine
oh, your hesitant heart wanders aimlessly
seeking only
a single childish wish for innocence

fields lined with blood and the dead
lifeless descendants entombed by tireless discord
shown on the water's surface, mirrored
reflections upon one's thoughts

swaying like waves on the sea
singing ephemeral dreams, thoughts flowing out of reach
ceaselessly, tides ever change
flowing like time, running after the dawn


you are the waves on the sea

the shadows of that one day
that i had seen in my dreams
my cry could not ever reach

no matter how i depict
the "myself" of tomorrow
i am drowned in wishes that won't fade away

these wind-scattered fallen fragments
catch them within those hands
hold onto my weakly wavering heart
leap into the darkness of the night

if i had someone to depend on
there'd be nothing more that i could ever have wished for
the truth of my ego is right here before you
oh please don't turn your eyes away

blowing away on the wind
just like unwanted trash
was that nolstagic smile of yours

no matter how much i pray for
the "myself" of tomorrow
these answers still will quickly fade away

this cruelly frozen body of mine
flakes of what's left in my heart
before they completely melt and decay
leap into the darkness of the night

if i had someone to depend on
there'd be nothing more that i could ever have wished for
the truth of my ego is right here before you
so please don't turn your eyes away

to live for the sake of someone
if everything became this moment, it'd still be ok
so gently, gently cast away your false selves
and be as what you truly are

note: i can only assume that when wantarou used "karthik" he actually meant cathartic because otherwise the lyrics don't make any sense in a bad way.

so that you forget about the weight of all your sins
heed the nectar of justice spurting out from my lips
even if the words i say do not make any sense
don't they fill up that empty hole that's carved into your heart

that uncertain, painful tragic destiny of yours
seems to sparkle brightly as though it has been shined upon
well if that's the case then come and just forget it all
to the noisy, annoying ones I'll say, bye bye

if you say that i'm the one who's completely in the wrong
then please, won't you tell me of your precious virtues
the counterfeit god is laughing out
hey why can't you see it
that this hand has already been defiled

in cathartic affections i will continue to smother you
so we can dance as we please, just like they do
more than anyone within this world, we'll be happy

i will wipe away every single one of your regrets and your tears
and continue my unsuspecting prayers
so hey, somehow, please put your faith in me


a blessedly unhappy relationship of two
without any hope for salvation left in this world
even now, reality is lacking, isn't it?
the holy grail entices with all it's splendour

this world is just as always, so completely controlled
what was true just yesterday is now today all a lie
what's behind that treasured god on high
are you sure that you want this
for only us, that is, an absolute must

my carthic affections, i will continue to offer them
even if that's the most unforgivable sin
that wild gear can no longer lay a hand on me

a traumerei to play today and for all of eternity
let's listen closely, cause if "that" resounds at the end
there will be nobody left who can turn back


a fanatic's mentality, just what things were meant to be seen? these eyes bestowed to me just what were they meant to be?
only the most important things,  aah! i cannot see!
and for the sake of protecting these bodies, we, the blind, shall lead the blind
and take a step into the neverending night
the dizzingly crimson moonlight red as blood
and the glittering final utopia

"you are not scared of me at all, are you now?"
"you too, come after me"

i will forgive all your sins
