Japanese	Japanese (rough translation)	English
夜明けの手を取り高く羽ばたく日まで 安らぎの縁に身を預けて、震えている。 ステンドグラスを通る光 銀の燭台煌めいて 並んだ笑顔は みんな眩しくて 自分の居場所に絆される。 力の印に焦がされた。 素顔は仮面で隠したままで。 名もなく咲きゆく小さな花のように、 あなたの横顔いつも見上げてたかった。	Until the day I take the dawn's hand and fly far away I tremble, relying on memories of peaceful times. Light shines through stained glass; silver candlesticks shimmer. Everyone's smiles are equally radiant, I’m glad I found the place where I can be me. But having been burned by an emblem of power; I still hide my true face behind a mask. Like the nameless tiny flowers ready to bloom, I wanted to always be looking up at your face.	Reach for my hand; I'll soar away into the dawn, oh, I wish I could stay! Here in cherished halls in peaceful days, I fear the edge of dawn knowing time betrays. Faint lights pass through colored glass in this beloved place Silver shines, the world dines, a smile on each face As joy surrounds, comfort abounds, and I can feel I'm breaking free For just this moment lost in time, I am finally me. Yet still I hide, behind this mask that I have become My blackened heart, scorched by flames of force I can't run from I look to you like a red rose seeking the sun no matter where it goes. I long to stay where the light dwells, to guard against the cold that I know so well.
