Xenogears

Creaking Shards

Xenogears


Grasping a glass knife 
Running through the depths of the cold night 
Black emotions burn the chest 
And carve my name on the moon 
Inside the deep woods, a wolf enveloped by darkness 
Sent by the god of death: red eyes and white fangs 
Quenches his thirst with his own blood 
Pride and independence his only shining crest 

A hundred million shards of mirror 
A tiny little light of life 
A nostalgic soul moving far away 
But only you and I 
Can find "the answer", sometime 
A golden path stretches out forever 
We can run along it to the ends of the earth 

Hold frozen flames to your chest 
And drift through the blue depths of the night 
Torn apart by beloved pain 
I whisper your name to the stars 
A girl born painted in the red of dawn 
Dances in the golden autumn, making even angels jealous 
Freedom and yearning her only glittering crown 

A hundred million shards of mirror 
A tiny little light of life 
A nostalgic soul moving far away 
But if it's you and I together 
We can find "the answer", surely 
A golden path stretches out forever 
Let's run along it, even beyond tomorrow 

We met in the foggy tomorrow 
And parted in the silence of the night 
A broken sword and a torn shield 
With unshed tears having pierced the heart 

It pushes everything aside, this black flow 
The gods' silence follows the earth 
But nobody hears your cry 
Nobody hears it 

The wind sobs, the sea twists about 
The stars creak, time bursts and scatters 
Unfinished dreams will end one day 
That's right: love isn't eternal at all 

However... 
A hundred million shards of mirror 
A tiny little light of life 
A nostalgic soul moving far away 
Only you and I 
Can find "the answer", one day 
A golden path stretches out forever 
We can run along it to the ends of the earth 
Lets' run along it, even beyond tomorrow
