The edge of my fading memories, the far off, frozen, unreachable life,
In a crack, in the mirror that no one can hold
Seven broken dolls sing silent tears of mud
Drain the maggots’ blood in the day that will never be returned,
And pierce the eyes with the briars of a clock
That crumbled to dust within seven days,
……..
The cruel judge records the faded letters of my life..
Only a bird with broken wings can sing the truth
………
With light only silence
………
Death is frozen all the way to the edge of its molecules
While the night loves eternity,
at the same time it chops down desire with a stone axe
Drink up the pain of a brain being split open!
………
The twelve winter messengers who were washed ashore
The mirage above the piece of paper
The spent country made of glass
The corpse sings with a necklace of many, many tears on its breast
The duck’s shadow on the cliff where light has ceased to exist
Will the blameless traveler ever tell of this story?
………
When nineteen cold moons have crossed the sky
After the day of pronouncement, and the night has passed
The world will end with the rising of the sun,
What else can we do other than smash the green plate
………
The blue lamplight roams about.
In the jewel of the night, the fake empire will sink into the water… :D
From TJ2777 XD XP:D
At least thats what I remember.
The edges of my fading memories
Your distant, frozen, unreachable warmth
Just a crack in the mirror that no one can feel
A broken doll singing silent tear of mud
Draining the blood of maggots in the days never to be retrieved
And pierce the eyes with the briars of a clock
Crumble to dust throughout the days of grief
To her statue made of frozen blood
I offer the voice of the dead
The sad smile on a corpse
The Softened bone and the tattered heart
The dripping blood of the heart cut out
The endless pain,
The creaking evening of invisible gallows
The twelve winter messengers washed ashore
Calling out their lovers names
The mirage floats above like a piece of paper
The wasted country, made of glass
The corpse sings with a string of tears across its breast
The hawk shadow on a cliff where light has ceased to exist
Nothingness
Will anyone care enough to tell such a tale of misery?
Naked
A cruel judge records the faded letters of my life
Only a bird with broken wings can sing the truth
Ridicule, betrayal and plotting
----
The loss of innocence
----
After the day of declaration
And after the night of the nineteenth cold moons cross the sky
The world shall meet its end with the rising of the sun
What else can one do, other than smash the green plate?
The previously posted versions have errors, though one is probably a translation from the Japanese. This is based on the English voiced version of Kino's Journey:
THE SONG OF SORROW
The edges of my fading memories
Your distant, frozen, unreachable warmth
Just a crack in the mirror that no one can feel
A broken doll singing silent tears of mud
Draining the blood of maggots in the days never to be retrieved
And pierce the eyes with the briars of a clock
Crumble to dust throughout the days of greaving
To her statue made of frozen blood
I offer the voice of the dead
The sad smile on a corpse
The Softened bone and the tattered heart
The dripping blood of the heart cut out
The endless pain,
The creaking evening of invisible gallows
The twelve winter messengers washed ashore
Calling out their lover's names
The mirage floats above like a piece of paper
The wasted country, made of glass
The corpse sings with a string of tears across its breast
The hawk's shadow on a cliff where light has ceased to exist
Nothingness
