Lyrics

 * English lyrics



Countless windows reflecting This darkness filled city Wearing this chain of my emotions on my pale neck I laughed at everything Everything reflects the darkness When its inside of my hand Everything reflects the darkness Shadow is the light!! Carry this burden of Countless blood filled memories That is pierced into my dark past Destroy everything with these tainted hands I'll never change! Everything reflects the darkness When its inside of my hand Everything reflects the darkness Everything reflects the darkness


 * Japanese lyrics

 * The scene where Amai Ao shoots Accelerator in the head back in episode 20 of Toaru Majutsu no Index is briefly seen in the opening.
