:: ROMAJI ::


Zankoku na tenshi no you ni
Shounen yo shinwa ni nare

Aoi kaze ga ima mune no doa wo tataite mo
Watashi dake wo tada mitsumete hohoenderu anata
Sotto fureru mono motomeru koto ni muchuu de
Unmei sae mada shiranai itaike na hitomi

Dakedo itsuka kizuku deshou sono senaka ni wa
Haruka mirai mezasu tame no hane ga aru koto

Zankoku na tenshi no te-ze madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
Hotobashiru atsui patosu de omoi de wo uragiru nara
Kono sora wo daite kagayaku shounen yo shinwa ni nare

Zutto nemutteru watashi no ai no yurikago
Anata dake ga yume no shisha ni yobareru asa ga kuru
Hosoi kubisuji wo tsukiakari ga utsushiteru
Sekaijuu no toki wo tomete tojikometai kedo

Moshimo futari aeta koto ni imi ga aru nara
Watashi wa sou jiyuu wo shiru tame no baiburu

Zankoku na tenshi no te-exe kanashimi ga soshite hajimaru
Dakishimeta inochi no katachi sono yume ni mezameta toki
Dare yori mo hikari wo hanatsu shounen you shinwa ni nare

Hito wa ai wo tsumugi nagara rekishi wo tsukuru
Megami nante narenai mama watashi wa ikiru

Zankoku na tenshi no te-ze madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
Hotobashiru atsui patosu de omoi de wo uragiru nara
Kono sora wo daite kagayaku shounen yo shinwa ni nare
