Lyrics
埃まみれの本達が
風もないのにさわりめくれて笑った
長い永い時間を重ね
まるで命がそこにある様に動き出すよ
hokori mamire no hontachi ga
kaze mo nai no ni sawarimekurete waratta
nagai nagai toki wo kasane
marude inochi ga soko ni aru you ni ugokidasu yo
嗚呼 九十九達も弱き己に飽きて
魔の小槌を打ち 力求めて彷徨う
aa tsukumotachi mo yowaki onore ni akite
ma no kodzuchi wo uchi chikara motomete samayou
物の理 反故ならず
一つ得たなら一つ失くすが続いて
長い永い時間の中で
守られて来た理由も知らずに操られて
mono no kotowari hogo narazu
hitotsu eta nara hitotsu nakusu ga tsudzuite
nagai nagai toki no naka de
mamorarete kita wake mo shirazu ni ayatsurarete
嗚呼 これじゃまるで
まるで予定調和の
繰り返す歴史
弱き使われ九十九
aa kore ja marude
marude yotei chouwa no
kurikaesu rekishi
yowaki tsukaware tsukumo
嗚呼 九十九達が淡き夢を抱いて
その弱き心 突かれ傷つけられる
嗚呼 九十九達よ 夢は夢のままでも
その夢の中でそっと命を纏おう
aa tsukumotachi ga awaki yume wo idaite
sono yowaki kokoro tsukarekizutsukerareru
aa tsukumotachi yo yume wa yume no mama demo
sono yume no naka de sotto inochi wo matoou
Translation
The dusty books
Flipped with no wind and laughed
After a long, long time
They start to move as if there’s life in them
Ah, the tools are bored of being weak
I strike the evil hammer and they wander in search of strength
The principle of the thing is not to contradict itself
If you gain one, you lose one, and so on
For a long, long time
I’ve been protected and manipulated without knowing why
Ah, this is just like
It’s just like a harmonious schedule
History is repeating itself
For the weak used tools
Ah, the tools with their faint dreams
Their weak hearts are pricked and hurt
Ah, tools, even though your dreams remain dreams
In that dream, let’s gently clothe your lives
