music: Hora/ lyrics: Kaya

I ran barefoot across the crumbling earth as it fell to ruin
In the traces of an endlessly cruel dream

A past that wouldn't disappear, memories that wouldn't fade
Even now a toy caught in their grasp
But while I stood trapped in that darkness day after day
Thats when I found you

arehatete kuzureru daichi o hadashi de kakete kita no
hateshinaku zankoku ni tsuzuku yume no ato saki

kienai kako kesenai kioku ni
ima mo mada honrou sarete
yami no naka tachitsukusu hibi ni
anata o mitsuketa

Let me protect you from the relentless steel rain
Smash all of the ugly things away...

Pass throught the arch of glittering rainbow and escape
Into the grains of light that twinkle like a dream
And while this cruel blue sky flutters and waves
Together let's run far, far away

firishikiru hagane no ame kara anata o mamorou
arayuru minikusa o kudaite

hikari kagayaku nijiiro no aachi kurinukete
yume no you ni matataku hikari no tsubu
zankoku na kono aozora hirugaeshi nagara
doko made mo kakenuke yukimashou

When the very world comes to an end
Close your eyes, and let's take hands
I want to feel that pulse for certain
And when the world comes to an end
More than anyone, more than anything
If I know you, you'll be laughing again

sekai ga owaru sono toki ni wa
me o tojite te o tsunagi
nani yori mo kashika na sono kodou o kanjitai
sekai ga owaru sono toki de mo
nani yori mo dare yori mo
saigo de kitto anata wa waratte kureru kara

So protect me from the raging winds
And together we'll connect our promised wings

Pass throught the arch of glittering rainbow and escape
Into the grains of light that twinkle like a dream
And while this cruel blue sky flutters and waves
Together let's run far, far away

fukisusabu arashi kara tsuyoku mamotte ite ne
chigireta hane tsunagi awase

hikari kagayaku nijiiro no aachi kurinukete
yume no you ni matataku hikari no tsubu
zankoku na kono aozora hirugaeshi nagara
doko made mo kakenuke yukimashou

This guilty feeling lodged within my chest
I've always lived with and condemned
But now, I'll release myself for your sake
And fasten my glittering wings

mune ni yadoru zaiakukan
zutto semete ikite kita no
atashi o ima nigashite ageyou
kirameku hane o tsukete

Pass throught the arch of glittering rainbow and escape
Into the grains of light that twinkle like a dream
And while this cruel blue sky flutters and waves
Together let's run far, far away

Imagine that world of overflowing light
And while this cruel blue sky flutters and waves
Together let's run far, far away

hikari kagayaku nijiiro no aachi kurinukete
yume no you ni matataku hikari no tsubu
zankoku na kono aozora hirugaeshi nagara
doko made mo kakenuke yukimashou

hikari afureru sono sekai e
zankoku na kono aozora hirugaeshi nagara
doko made mo kakenuke yukimashou

In case you didn't know, this song is available for KARAOKE
on the DAM sound system (pronunced Dah-m, dah-ling, not damn).

I sang it when Hanachan and I went to the Japanese karaoke bar a few months ago, which was, incidentially enough, on the border
of the gay part of New York.
Or at least I think it was because there were free newspaper machines
with copies of the gay times on the street corners, and furniture stores.
What's with gay guys and furniture anyway? (>_<)
So I took one and ended up reading about the trials and tribulations
of Martinez vs Monroe College in rather bad grammar on the way home.

I also sang this song, 3 times XD (forgot it the first 2)
And then Hanachan was all like,
"oh look, now you've pooftered up the place. I'm going to sing
France Gaul and Cindy Lauper and Hot Gossip"
so I was like, mmm-hm you ain't seen nothin' boy SUPER FLAMING DOOM!
and sang the Patalliro theme song. Couldn't beat out Cindy though.

I also got Hikawa Kiyoshi and Kikawa Kouji mixed up,
and when I asked the tenin for help finding a song he told me
I was too young to know who Kikawa Kouji is and to forget it XD

...I'm really not though...well, not reaaally at any rate.
Says Hanachan: "Yes you are, you're a big gay man XD"
He gets to comment since this is about him :P

Good times. And I apologize for blabbering so much.
