Black Birdcage

Lyrics: Kanon Wakeshima
Music & Arrangement: MANA
Strings Co-Arrangement: Youhei Shimada

We're unable to go against this fate
And, in turmoil, our minds creak

We're unable to resist heaven or time
Blindly obedient
the string
on both hands tightens
Open
your sewn eyes

Break the unseen wall!
Even mechanical thoughts
eat into dreams
A dark past, a terrifying future
The reason you ruminate on words binding you to the present
Knowing your limit is to be
inside a black birdcage

Even if the lying voices
are silenced...

Believe in what is unseen!
Even with trembling arms
I want to protect
someone dear to me
In a place my feelings advancing to the present reach
Seeing hope
even in a narrow, black world

They're blurred magenta...

...Open those eyes of yours

Kuroi Torikago
