Akatsuki
Akiko Shikata
Dawn
In the days that won't return, tears fall
The sky I looked up to burns red, so red
My own strength, weakness
If I realize it now
Don't fear, my love
With a heavy heart
Cut through the wind
The dawn illuminates your journey
Gather
Great companions
Eyes that see a thousand miles
Feet that race through the sky
An eternal shield
Ancient vows, now fulfilled
Let the night break into day
A single flower falls on the water
Where, where does it flow?
Who knows the origin
The heart is still in the clouds
Endless movement
On that grassland
A drop of wind whispers
In this world
Like piercing through fleeting doubts
String the bow, release far away
Let your red hair flutter
If you've decided to live
Use your broken nails and scars
As nourishment for tomorrow
Don't forget, my love
At the end of the burning sky
The fragments of the dream you once saw
Will wait to awaken
Don't fear, my love
With a heavy heart
The flames in your gaze
Must never die out
Keep moving forward, true to yourself
Crossing white bonds
Offering prayers in the blue night
Sowing seeds of green
Embrace the golden harvest
