Thanks hyenahunt for the editing help!!



Verse 1

Ibara: It matters not if you must grovel
Nagisa: If indeed… you have a cause to desire
If in this arid land
Ibara: You gaze at the sky
Nagisa: And simply… stand in fear
Both: You’ll only rot away

Both: The gentle temptation from the darkness of despair
Nagisa: Has imprisoned these emotions
Both: Now set them free

Both: The things you’ve gained clawing your way up
Nagisa: Become your very soul
Both: Strength is what creates the truth

Both: Your struggling, craving form
Nagisa: Is truly beautiful
Ibara: If you want to survive
Nagisa: Just look forward
Ibara: And keep on walking
Both: Take the blazing flames… and cloak yourself in them

Verse 2

Nagisa: With love, even the earthy mud
Ibara: Can give you anything you want
If you don’t have it
Nagisa: Then attain it
Ibara: Follow your instincts… For if you don’t
Both: You will never rule

Both: Sleeping deep within your chest
Ibara: Is desire
Both: You need only awaken it

Both: If your sinful fight
Ibara: Is a result of weakness
Both: Then just invade with strength

Both: Praying for salvation
Nagisa: Won’t get you forgiven
Ibara: For the sake of survival
Nagisa: Until you reach divinity
Ibara: You must journey
Both: And surrender all else

Bridge

It’s the only one truth to save you.
It’s the only one truth to lead you.
It’s the only thing you must believe.
It’s the only thing you can dream.

Ibara: As though embraced by a gentle rain
Nagisa: Hold it close… for eternity
Ibara: But if peace
Nagisa: Is not your wish
Both: Then go forth and stake your existence

Both: The things you’ve gained clawing your way up
Become your very soul
Strength is what creates the truth

Both: Lay it all bare
Show us how you struggle and crave
Ibara: Every last despair
Nagisa: And everything that brings it
Both: Will become a single shining light

(The Ruler only can make the truth!
The Ruler only can make the truth!)

Nagisa: In order to gain
Ibara: Meaning to your soul
Nagisa: Sin and sin again
Ibara: And keep reaching for it
Both: Take the blazing flames… and cloak yourself in them
