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 it's 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 it's inside of my hand
Everything reflects the darkness
Everything reflects the darkness
