Nagai tsukihi zutto nozondeita negai wa Yami e mayoikonda Hoshigatteita no wa utakata no shiawase Mugen no chikara wa kanaetekureta?

The wind becomes a storm The waves grow enraged The roaring sea calls to the Witch who has lived a thousand years
 * -|English=

How I have longed for this day! How I have dreaded this day! Who will celebrate destiny?

Oh, Witch! Oh, Witch! What will you disclose to me?

As the moon crosses the night sky, the waves grow tall The cries of the seagulls beckon the clouds of uncertainty

The Golden Curse and the words left behind And the secret smile all become smeared with crimson

What are you seeking with closed eyes? Though one may try to gather up the shattered fragments They shall spill from the hands that touch them and never reach you Without love, you cannot see the decorated truth and lies

Beatrice! Cruel Witch! Of beauty without equal Beatrice! Oh! Of capricious sweetness Never can I free myself from your spell If this suffering must go on, at least have pity on me for a moment

The dancing butterflies' wings flutter back and forth between reality and dreams The unceasing sound of the raindrops hides both truth and lies

The beginning banquet and the chosen lamb And the entangled hatred fill the glass

What are you searching for this imprisoned world? Though one may wish for the miracle of forgiveness Their voice shall be carried off by the wind and never reach you Without love, the recurring loneliness shall never disappear

Joy and sorrow break and retreat like waves And flow towards the sea in the dark dead of night Tears and scars all blur together And you, the liar, fall into the darkness

The sound of the waves, the voice of the sea like a song Listening to it seems to purify me of the crime committed The sound of the waves gently cradles me It sends me to tranquil sleep and I dream happy dreams

What are you seeking with closed eyes? Though one may try to gather up the shattered fragments They shall spill from the hands that touch them and never reach you Without love, you cannot see the decorated truth and lies

What are you seeking with closed eyes? Though one may try to gather up the shattered fragments They shall spill from the hands that touch themand never reach you Without love, you cannot see the decorated truth and lies

Without love, you cannot see the truth...
