...
In the sky of our soul,
The face wanes like the moon.
Searching for your face,
Life blooms anew.
You fell, you fell,
Falling like the rain,
You rose like a seed,
Standing tall to touch the sky.
It will bloom in the fire,
The light of tomorrow.
As darkness unveils its face,
Dawn will break, dawn will break!
When the blood of life
Feels the pain,
The eyes of life shall open.
When the shadow's floral face is realized,
New truths will be born.
You fell, you fell,
Falling like the rain,
You rose like a seed,
Standing tall to touch the sky.
It will bloom in the fire,
The light of tomorrow.
As darkness unveils its face,
Dawn will break, dawn will break!
