So this is me, in too-heavy armor
A cowardly hero who can’t walk anymore
Wanting to be loved, wanting to protect, I wielded a sword
Stabbing into the arm offered to me, it won’t come out
It still won’t heal, and life goes on
Oh, everything turns from ash to ash
Life sets its sights somewhere far in the distance
Dragging my wounded sins and pain along with it
And everything turns from dust to dust
On the day I collapse and return to the earth
I hope at least that a small flower will bloom
forget-me-not
How do I escape from the monster before my eyes?
A hero who ran away, unable to face it
Here in this world with no edge
Running here and there, arriving back at the same place
It just repeats, and life goes on
Oh, everything turns from ash to ash
Life searches for proof
Even if it’s swallowed by a snarling fate
And everything turns from dust to dust
If even the tracks of my constant fleeing
Will someday become a road for another to travel
forget-me-not
I wonder if even the deep-sea fish using lungs to breathe
And the bird who can’t really ride the wind
Are out there somewhere, on a journey
Even if we don’t meet
They’re out there
And that’s enough for me, that’s enough
My body turns to ash
My memories turn to dust
Ending without leaving even one word to history
Even so, I aim for the distance
Even so, I search for proof
I want to know why I lived… I want to leave something meaningful behind
Oh, everything turns from ash to ash
Life searches for proof
Embracing my sins and pain that won’t disappear
And everything turns from dust to dust
On the day I collapse and return to the earth
I hope at least that a small flower will bloom
forget-me-not
forget-me-not
forget-me-not
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Please, don’t forget me
