Even if you go far away,
I will follow as the shadow at your feet.
As a storm in the air you breathe,
I will chase after you.
Even if you go far away,
I will follow as the shadow at your feet.
As a storm in the air you breathe,
I will chase after you.
Even if you run away,
I will come searching for you.
If you try to cover up a fire,
will it really stay hidden?
The evil deeds that trap your feet,
will they wrap around you like a snake?
If the truth is buried deep,
will it simply vanish into the earth?
Without letting you sleep inside,
will it pierce you like needles?
Will your curse continue on?
Will my time finally begin?
Even if you go far away,
I will follow as the shadow at your feet.
As a storm in the air you breathe,
I will chase after you.
Even if you go far away,
I will follow as the shadow at your feet.
As a storm in the air you breathe,
I will chase after you.
Even if you run away,
I will come searching for you.
My love, people say my name
is beauty itself.
Yet as for me,
I have no form of my own.
Silence is my language,
yet screams will still break out.
Is it not the thought in the mind
that always wages war?
Will my fierce desire win,
or will your life prevail?
Even if you go far away,
I will follow as the shadow at your feet.
As a storm in the air you breathe,
I will chase after you.
Even if you go far away,
I will follow as the shadow at your feet.
As a storm in the air you breathe,
I will chase after you.
