a procession of the living

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Sheena Ringo

Humans are creatures by nature
Born with always craving more
That's true, but hey sun child
Your wants getting weaker
You keep forgetting day by day

Birth cries are wildness made perfect
They're the very will of life
That's true, but hey moon child
Your voice getting weaker
You keep losing it day by day

At dawn you feel thirst
The coldness and blueness of gulping down water in one go
The world starts whispering hollowly
The coldness and doubt of being left all alone

You snap out of that slovenly intoxication through a morning like this
And what you'll pass with the aftertaste of a drunken binge
is a far, far off future

Stuff your cheeks more with a life that's bathed in the sun
Yes, I want you to leave behind your instinct of getting stuffed
Eat up this very moment

Tsukuyomi's letting down her black hair on the way home
A busy first love suddenly starts running in one night
The ground shakes with every joy and sorrow
A single eyelash casts heavy doubt

And because of worries like that, you can't sleep through a night like this
What you'll pass with the aftertaste of crying on your pillow
is a far, far off future

Aah, the charm of a child falling sleep without knowing anything
I'd rather just never grow up and stay small

No matter what deception you encounter and even when you're lost
I'm sure you'll be fine if you remember
your will to eat, your will to rest
Be proud of and believe in the voice shouting life
from the bottom of your heart
And always remember
that you're completely free
in the universe

I see you marching courageously
Shouja no Koushin (a procession of the living)

Sakushi, Sakkyoku, & Henkyoku: Sheena Ringo

Humans are creatures by nature
Born with always craving more
That's true, but hey sun child
Your wants getting weaker
You keep forgetting day by day

Birth cries are wildness made perfect
They're the very will of life
That's true, but hey moon child
Your voice getting weaker
You keep losing it day by day

Akegata ni kawaki wo oboeru
Hitoiki de aoru mizu no tsumetasa aosa
Sorazorashiku sasamekidasu seken yo
Hitorikiri oite ikareru samusa ibukashisa

To iu zonzai na yoizame konna asa wo
Midarezake no atoaji komi de omae ga heru nowa
Zutto tooi mirai

Taiyou abita inochi wo hoobari nasai motto
Sou tarafuku honnou wo nokoshite hoshii
Tatta ima wo tairagete

Tsukiyomi ieji kurokami wo oroshite iru
Hitoyo de tsui hashiridasu isogashii hatsukoi
Ikkiichiyuu suru goto yuragu jimen yo
Hitosuji no matsuge ga otosu omotai giwaku

To iu kuttaku de netsukenai konna ban wo
Nakimakura no atoaji komi de omae ga heru nowa
Zutto tooi mirai

Aa nanimo shirazu ni neiru ko no ijirashisa
Mou isso ookiku narazu chiisai mama de ii

Donna mayakashi ni atte mayou toki mo kitto
Omoidashitara daijoubu ni naru wa
Taberu ishi wo yasurau ishi wo
Okusoko kara inochi hariageru koe wo
Hokori to nasai shinjite inasai
Itsumo oboete ite
Issai omae no jiyuu
Amatsusae uchuu

I see you marching courageously
生者の行進 (a procession of the living)
