| <div align="center" style="text-decoration:italic;">'''Young boy, like a cruel angel's thesis,
| |
| Live up to be a legend...
| |
| | |
| Even though clear blue winds
| |
| Beat on the door of my heart,
| |
| You just smile, looking straight at me
| |
| Too involved in yearning for
| |
| Something to hold on
| |
| The innocent eyes still no nothing of fate yet.
| |
| | |
| But someday you will notice
| |
| On those shoulders of your
| |
| There are strong wings
| |
| To guide you to the far future.
| |
| | |
| A cruel angel's thesis
| |
| Will someday fly high from the window
| |
| If memories are betrayed by
| |
| The overflowing, burning pathos (emotions).
| |
| Young boy, shine like a legend,
| |
| Holding the sky in your arms.
| |
| | |
| The cradle of love that sleeps within me
| |
| There will be a morning that
| |
| A servant of dreams will come for you.
| |
| The moonlight shines on your thin neckline.
| |
| I'd stop time in this world
| |
| And lock it away for myself, but...
| |
| | |
| If there is any meaning
| |
| In the fate that pulled us together,
| |
| Then I am, yes, the Bible
| |
| That teaches you of freedom.
| |
| | |
| A cruel angel's thesis
| |
| And then sorrow comes forth
| |
| When the shapes of the dreams you hold in your arms
| |
| Come to life within you.
| |
| Young boy, who shines brighter than anyone else,
| |
| Rise to become a legend.
| |
| | |
| People weave together love to create history
| |
| And so I live on,
| |
| Unable to become a goddess...
| |
| | |
| A cruel angel's thesis
| |
| Will someday fly high from the window
| |
| If memories are betrayed by
| |
| The overflowing, burning pathos (feelings).
| |
| Young boy, shine like a legend,
| |
| Holding the sky in your arms.'''</div>
