Makkura Mori no Uta (Song of the Pitch Black Forest)
Taniyama Hiroko
 
 

Things you cannot see in light
In darkness float before your eyes
Everything you imagine appears
Amidst the darkened forest skies

Yesterday is Tomorrow
In the pitch black forest Kurai Kurai

Fish fly high up in the sky
Birds in the ocean swim
Eggs will hatch all by themselves
And the mirror sings
Everything's a wonderland
Amidst the darkened forest skies

From the morning always
In the pitch black forest Kurai Kurai

Listening still as a mouse
Without trying to hear a thing
If your gaze turns to the clock
The hand uselessly spins
This is the mazeway of your heart
Amidst the darkened forest skies

Fast is slow, slow is fast
In the pitch black forest Kurai Kurai

And where can this place be found?
Everybody knows
And where can this place be found?
No one has a clue
Never stopping, they always move
These darkened forest skies

Far is near, near is far
In the pitch black forest Kurai Kurai

Far is near, near is far
In the pitch black forest Kurai Kurai
