Schweisser Lyrics
"Velvet Underworld"

Shinku no juutan ni nita
kono yo no hana wa mina omote
sono shita ni nagareru yami
kanashimi wa soko kara umare
aa, kokoro sae itsuwatte ikiruno ka
hito wa sadame ni ayatsurareru dake

( the worlds flowers like a carpet of crimson red
as one scatter and toss through the air
sorrow and sadness are born there
from the darkness that streams underneath
ah, are hearts only meant to lie?
are people just puppets of fate )

tada, itoshiki mono dakishime
chiisaki mono mamoru tame
kyou mo dare ka ga sakebu
kono inochi sae mo nagedashi
toki no naka de moetsukiru
sono isshun ni kuchizuke o

{only to embrace those we love
and protect those small and precious
today again some one shouts that out
sacrificing even their life
to smolder in the midst of time
with that instants kiss.}

yokubou ni yogoreta machi
fukinukeru kaze dake sora e
fuminiji rarete yuku ai
te no hira ni nokotta namida
aa, egao made ubawarete ikiru no ka
dare mo kizutsuki kokoro mo naiteru

(in this city stained with greed
there is only wind blowing towards the sky
all that is left of trampled love
is the tear left in the palm of my hand
ah, were smiles only meant to sunder?
every one has their wounded hearts)

ima, hizamazuite inori o kakan nai mono mamoritai
mune ni juuji o kizamu
kono tomerarenai nani ka o
osaerareru tamashii o
tada shinjitai itsu made mo

[I want to protect those timid creatures
those who kneel in prayer
I'll even carve a cross in my chest
to believe in something unstoppable
and the irrepressible spirit
now and forever]

kumo ga kiete hoshi ga mieru
kaze ga tomari tori ga utau
umi ga hikari sora ni tokeru
yoru ga owari kimi o kanjiru

(the clouds disperse the stars are seen
the wind stills the birds sing
the ocean shines the heavens thaw
the night ends I feel you)
