lyrics
- Chapter IV -
迷い舟
方向を見失った船 海の浸食
母の目に映る 悲しみに蝕まれている
生まれることのない子ども
かつて光だった嘆きの象徴
地平線が消えるにつれて
不安を招く抱擁となった
衰弱した鎖とともに
彷徨ったあげく
横たわる
涙へと
水と洗礼の物語
喜びの幻影
潮で血を洗う未来へと
問いかけばかり 祈るよりも
信じる心が遠くへと運ぶなら
愛とその疑いは
名残惜しい布
疲れた足 枯れ果てた叫びを越えて
瀕死の夕暮れを輝かせる
問いかけばかり
問いかけばかり
モザイクの天（そら）
描かれた海
天国と不信仰
存在とその無常
真実さえも 孤独に眠るのだ
絶望を信じられないほどに
深く溺れてしまう恐怖のために
深く考え込むために
人は多くの問いかけをする
ひざまづいて祈るより
ひざまづいて祈るより
祈るより
祈るより
祈るより

A Vessel Astray
A vessel astray, eroded by the sea and devoured by the sadness of a mother’s mourning eyes
From a child yet to be born, a symbol of grief that once was a light, that has grown on to become an unsettling embrace, as the horizon dissipates
with languishing strands, wandering before lying down, in tears
In a vision of rapture, of blood washed out with salt, mixed up with water and its baptizing lore
We ask more questions than we kneel down to pray
If faith brought us that far, love and its doubts are lingering sheets sparkling their dying dusk over our tired feet, our own worn-out cries
We ask more questions
We ask more questions
In a firmament of mosaic, a rendering ocean, heaven and its disbeliefs, existence and its impermanence
Even truth sleeps alone through its most daring fears of drowning way too deep to trust its own despairs
To dwell just a little too close to its own beclouded mists…
As we ask more questions than we kneel down to pray…
Than we kneel down to pray…
To pray
