Vocals: Kaori Oda
Lyrics: Nao Hiyama
Composition & Arrangement: Hijiri Anze

Concealed in my hands are deeply buried memories;
Driven by them, I fixed my gaze to the sky
In which I decided to go.

Times continues to turn,
Repeating again and again, following the wheel of fate.
The obstructed future, the closed up past –
I’ll overcome the eternal winter.

The hands of the clock depicting the end of the world
Doesn’t stop even after it has reached zero.
I’ll continue to count the infinite nights,
So that I can gently illuminate someone’s awakening.

In the midst of a fleeting scenery, where only singing voices remain,
A flower bloomed… as if trying to introduce color,
While covering up the truth.

Fake smiles that deceive time
Steal a glimpse of that fateful day.
Hearing the melody that rings out the moment everything collapses,
There is only one thing I’ll wish for!

Even if the reason we were born into the same world,
Is merely to part… or to feel this pain…
If this is the end, please hold me closer;
This empty shell of feeling that yearned for someone…

Upon this chilled dial are the traces of tears
Still keeping it from moving freely.

The hands of the clock depicting the end of the world
Maintain bonds that will never be severed,
Allowing the stars that fade with the arrival of morning
To keep shining powerfully across the sky.

The new meaning I discovered within this very moment
Was an eternity that will never be reduced to zero.
So I wanna become free and go out searching
For someone who loved dearly the sun of spring!
