The earth withered and flowers scattered, with stained hands, it cried out, letting out a scream.

The end of the illusion that confuses desires and of the wealth that overflows from your palms.

Demise, demise...Destined indication will disappear into blaze is burning the vice, blaze is burning the virtue.

THE SWAN by 12012

There's nothing left

Can you see what I'm feeling?
I just hide in my hand
悲しみが痛いよ

Kanashimi ga itai yo

The sorrow is so painful.
I wanna find the answers
Find the answers
Find the answers before I'm nothing
生きてる証が欲しい　此処にいるよ

Ikiteru akashi ga hoshii koko ni iru yo

I want proof that I’m living, I’m right here.

You see I'm finding a way
You see I'm finding a way
No reason to be alive now and nobody hears me
Don't leave me alone

逃げ惑うだけの日々誰かの温もりを借り慰め

Nigemadou dake no hibi dareka no nukumori wo karinagusame

In the days I merely run around trying to escape, I borrow someone’s warmth, and am consoled by it.
疑似愛さえ分からなくなってゆく

Kiji ai sae wakaranaku natte yuku

I’ve even starting to [confuse] the fake affection.
It's the ugly duckling, the ugly duckling, the ugly duckling swimming in the lake
打ちのめされ怯え続け痛みさえも愛も明日も見えない

Uchinomesare obietsudzuke itami sae mo ai mo asu mo mienai

Knocked down and continuing to be afraid, I can’t see tomorrow, the affection, or even the pain.

「夜が明けて朝が来るの」

[Yoru ga akete asa ga kuru no]         

“Night will grow light and tomorrow will come.”
キミはいつもそう言っていた

Kimi wa itsumo sou itteteita

It’s what you always seemed to say,
朝がくればキミの心も落ち着くから

Asa ga kureba kimi no kokoro ochitsuku kara

Because if the morning comes, your heart can [finally] steady.
The darkness arrives and I see the light
It's just like the rain that beats my window
The lake is so calm, and I'm all alone
And someday
I'll be a beautiful swan

So until the day I fly
It will so many days to cry
But I will be forgetting how I die
We celebrate we're all alive

Will you
You'll know we want that one
You don't know
You don't know what I want
You just follow the others do
You don't know

悲しくて苦しくて悔しくて崩れた日々も

Kanashikute kurushikute kuyashikute kuzureta hibi mo

The sorrowful, painful, regrettable days that have crumbled
キミを作る一つの要素でキミがいる

Kimi wo tsukuru hitotsu no youso de kimi ga iru

Are the one element I need to create you—you are here.
How loud I shout
How loud I cry
How sad I am
You will not get me
But I see the sky and someday
I might be something, So will you look at me for once?
For once
For once
Just once
The swan

MIND FOREST (English ver.) by GACKT

**These are the official English lyrics. I did not translate these lyrics. If you are looking for the translation from the original Japanese version, please click here.**

I saw you dancing in a sea of light
Playful as if nothing was on your mind
Upon the voices floating from the trees
Feeling of happiness filled me

Now broken dreams heave clouded everything
All that remains of our eternity
Gracefully hands left holding tragedies
Feeling of emptiness fills me

*Never to return again
From the abyss of endlessness
Every moment that we shared is now being taken away from me

Nothing could ever eclipse those days
Through the sadness and the pain
Every memory that we made will stay
Forever radiant*

Calling to me from somewhere far away
A melody is faintly ringing
Something within me has become awake
Nothing can stop me from seeking

*(repeat chorus)

If only I could be with you
Find some way to just make you see
Fall away inside of your kiss again
And stay forever

* (repeat chorus)

叶わぬ願いを呟いた

Kanawanu onegai wo tsubuyaita

and whispered my wish that will never come true,
「もう一度逢いたい」

[Mou ichido aitai]

“I want to see you once more.”

誰にも殺せない悲しみに

Dare ni mo (kesenai) kanashimi ni

Within the sadness that no one can erase,
微笑み合った記憶を重ねて

Hohoemiatta kioku wo kasanete

I [collect] the memories of us smiling together.
どれだけ探し続けていても

Dore dake sagashitsudzuketeite mo

No matter how much I continue to search,
オマエだけがいない…

Omae dake ga inai…

Only you aren’t there…
