Lyrics

Who sings this song about us pain and sorrow?
kagami utsushi no gou wo sumashita furi tsukurotte mitsumeteta
kurikaesu itami ima da shiranu akogare
The weight of my sin nails me down agaite mo

Is it the future falling guuzou suuhai mitai da
kasuka na fuan no ashioto wo Despair of all
Emptiness follows you here　This never-ending war
shinjitai mirai e makimodoshite

yurusenakute escalate shite escalate shite
I need someone to me wo fuse
Pray in my name taiko e inotte orete wa tsunaide
Again and again and again rasen no you one thing
naze tatakai tsuzukeru no? mada sutekirenai mono wa
karisome ka tashika na kibou ka fureru hari

Searching to find the truth there’s no tomorrow
samenai yume moyou wo satotta fuu ni ashiratte sagashiteta

Same vision repeats itself houkai sunzen no rakuen
aragatta hate no ketsumatsu wo resisting me
I must be near to break down　Release me I'm in pain
shinjiau sekai e kakikaeru ima

somarenakute escalate shite escalate shite
I can live and die for sora wo kake
Give me a name namae wo tsukete shibori dashita koe wa
Again and again and again arashi no gou always
mada aragai tsuzukeru no? mabuta ni yakitsuku mono wa
moredasu hikari ka zangai ka yureru kage

yurusenakute escalate shite escalate shite
I need someone to me wo fuse
Pray in my name taiko e inotte orete wa tsunaide
Again and again and again rasen no you one thing
naze tatakai tsuzukeru no? mada sutekirenai mono wa
karisome ka tashika na kibou ka fureru hari

Pray in my name

English Translation

Who sings this song about us pain and sorrow?
I pretended to be done with it as I stared at a mirrored Karma 
Recurring pain Admiration I’ve yet to experience
The weight of my sin nails me down, even though I struggle

Is it the future falling? It’s like idolatry
The slightest footsteps of anxiety Despair of all
Emptiness follows you here This never-ending war
Rewind back to a future I want to believe in

I couldn’t forgive, so I escalate, escalate
I need someone to cast their eyes down
Pray in my name, pray to ancient times Every time I break, I reconnect
Again and again and again, as if to spiral, one thing
Why must you continue battling? Is what you cannot discard
Trivial, or is it credible hope? The needle quivers

Searching to find the truth there’s no tomorrow
Pretending to come to a realization, I searched for a dream I’d never be awakened from 

Same vision repeats itself A paradise about to collapse
The end result of resistance is resisting me
I must be near to break down　Release me, I’m in pain
Rewrite this world to one where we trust in each other, now

Couldn’t blend in, so I escalate, escalate
I can live and die for running through the sky
Give me a name - the voice I managed to gasp out by giving it a name
Again and again and again, the Karma of the storm, always
Are you still fighting back? What’s burned into memory 
Might be a leaking light, or the broken remains Shadows waver

I couldn’t forgive, and I escalate, escalate
I need someone to cast their eyes down
Pray in my name, pray to ancient times Every time I break, I reconnect
Again and again and again, as if to spiral, one thing
Why must you continue battling? Is what you cannot discard
Trivial, or is it credible hope? The needle quivers

Pray in my name
