Lyrics for "Kioku" by Houko Kuwashima--

Intrusive moonlight

illuminates the ugliness

Black wings aren't taking flight

but the sky is dyed gray

Stricken by rain of the blood of grief

A drop of a withering flower

Cradled in the darkness, it falls ...

Even if this body fades away

Even if it's a fate that goes to ruin

Only this "Memory" of loving You,

Shows to me the proof that

no matter how many times I am reborn, I am me,

living on, carrying the scars of the past that won't heal,

that everyone turned their back on

I don't want to lose to sadness,

because it is strong now,

in place of all else,

I keep protecting only this "Memory"

At the end of the earth

The dark black sun is swallowed,

sinking into a deep crimson sea

for eternity, forever

playing a melody on darkness's bell

a sneering clown in black-and-white

enjoying the pleasure of control

If there was a place where I could feel truly safe,

I'm sure it would be beside this "Memory"

As long as you are near

you give a meaning to my living on as myself.

The importance of the ones I have lost, and my sadness for them,

changes to "resolve" to live strong,

and in times taking on your presence and making it part of me a piece

of "Memory" continuing on in me
