Utsukushiki Zankoku Na Sekai
Yoko Hikasa
A Beautiful Cruel World
That dream is the place of the heart
More fragile than life
Throw it away and find it again and again
Now sleep peacefully
Desires are violated by pulsating impulses
I remember so much that I forget
In this beautiful cruel world
We only question why we are still alive
Oh, with this strength and weakness
What are we protecting? If there is
No more reason
Is that sky painful?
Rising ashes and mirages
Freeze in warm words
Now sleep quietly
Grief is hidden in persistent illusions
It entangles again as if tearing apart
In this beautiful cruel world
We just wait to die
Oh, without being weather vanes
Is the truth more beautiful than lies?
I don't know
If we were songs
Raise the sails to that wind
Without hesitation, just go to someone's side
To deliver hope
In this beautiful cruel world
We only question why we are still alive
Oh, with this strength and weakness
What are we protecting? If there is
No more reason
