Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
一人では夢の続きも	hitori dewa yume no tsuzuki mo
見れなくなった天竺(てんじく)へ	mirenaku natta tenjiku e
カラカラと喉を枯らしては	karakara to nodo o karashite wa
泡沫(うたかた)の恋を過ぎて	utakata no koi o sugite

まだ見えぬ旅の終わりは	mada mienu tabi no owari wa
彼方にある天竺へ	kanata ni aru tenjiku e
バラバラに砕けた心は	barabara ni kudaketa kokoro wa
見つかるのかもわからず	mitsukaru noka mo wakarazu

重なり　転がり　それで楽になり	kasanari korogari sore de raku ni nari
泣いたり　転んだり　笑っちゃうね	naitari korondari waracchau ne

今旅の途中の刹那　呼吸すらできない	ima tabi no tochuu no setsuna kokyuu sura dekinai

この色即是空(しきそくぜくう)の地に立て！	kono shikisokuzekuu no chi ni tate!
叫び続けよう　命の歌	sakebi tsuzuke you inochi no uta
すごく重い　存在示すような	sugoku omoi sonzai shimesu youna
耳鳴りよ　止まないで	miminari yo yamanai de

一人では夢の続きも	hitori de wayume no tsuzuki mo
見れなくなった天竺へ	mirenaku natta tenjiku e
つえつえと息を切らしては	tsuetsue to iki o kirashite wa
安住の地を夢見て	anjuu no chi o yume mite

ここを歩くのは　僕らだけになり	koko o aruku nowa bokura dake ni nari
一つを目指した　畏友(いゆう)も淘汰された	hitotsu o mezashita iyuu mo touta sareta

獣道(けものみち)の上　感情には沿わない	kemonomichi no ue kanjou niwa sowanai

ほら歩幅を合わせて西の方へ！	hora hobaba o awasete nishi no hou e!
空に放たれた　命の歌	sora ni hanatareta inochi no uta
すごく重い　足音響くような	sugoku omoi ashioto hibiku youna
耳鳴りよ　止まないで	miminari yo yamanai de
