A Cruel Angel's Thesis (Director's Edit Version) - Yoko Takahashi

Just as angels embrace heavenly cruelty Young boy, step forth and become legendary I feel a wind from the skies Is pounding inside of the door of my heart Though we stand far apart I can see in your eyes, the smile you wear is not a lie Although you feel in your soul You're hoping for something to grasp and to hold The future you seek, be it bright or too bleak You're far too kind-hearted to see Soon you will find that your wings are behind you And that they were there all along And I believe that one day they will guide you And carry you swiftly and strong Now, the thesis of a cruel angel, flying high One day soon, soaring through a window in the sky Burning brightly, unsightly pathos in the night Trust your memories or sorrow will befall you Seize the sky, find the universe's boundary Young boy, step forth and become legendary Cradled, and burrowing deep The warmth of my love keeps you safely to dream When the morning is nigh, and the sun starts to rise An angel will visit in your sleep Silver light from the moon, it shines Distinguishing the graceful slope of your neck And if I were divine, and if I could stop time I would so you'd stay by my side But I suspect that there must be a reason That we have been fated to meet And if it's true then I'll be here beside you A "bible" to always guide you Now the thesis of a cruel angel, flying high Heralding sorrow pouring from the morning sky Don't despair, I'm aware that life just isn't fair Let your dreams shape the world that you will lay bare You shine brighter and lighter than a sunny beam Young boy, step forth and become legendary Weavers of love are the dreamers who spin up The tapestry of history I'm not a goddess, no apotheosis But even so, I'll muddle through Now, the thesis of a cruel angel, flying high One day soon, soaring through a window in the sky Burning brightly, unsightly pathos in the night Trust your memories or sorrow will befall you Seize the sky, find the universe's boundary Young boy, step forth and become legendary

In your arms, you are holding up the heavens Young boy, you'll live up to be a legend And though the clear blue wind blows Right on the door of my heart for a while You're standing there, and calmly you stare And without a care, I see you smile Too deep in yearning, we need Something to hold and something to keep Innocent eyes could not realize the meaning of destiny But someday I promise that you'll start to notice What's there on your shoulders Someday wings that are strong, they will guide you along To the future that holds your fate Let me tell you a cruel angel's thesis Flying high from the window, finding egress There is something betraying all my memories Burning pathos, emotion overwhelming In your arms, you are holding up the heavens Young boy, you'll be shining like a legend In me, a cradle will sleep That's filled with the love that I swear I will keep I know there will be a servant of dreams They'll find you one morning, you will see The moon is shining on you Although you are smaller and weak, it is true If I could hide away the unwinding of days I swear that I'd do it today And if there's a reason in faith worth believing The heavens ensured we would meet Your ears and your eyes will see me as the bible That teaches you how to be free Let me tell you a cruel angel's thesis Sorrow follows and now the world is weeping Come to life with the power you have found You shine much brighter than everyone around you In your arms, you are holding up the heavens Young boy, you'll be shining like a legend Weaving together their love since forever Is how we create history I live 'til the end, I'm prevented again Onto godhood, I cannot ascend Let me tell you a cruel angel's thesis Flying high from the window, finding egress There is something betraying all my memories Burning pathos, emotion overwhelming In your arms, you are holding up the heavens Young boy, you'll be shining like a legend

Like an angel with cruel and merciless intent Go forth, young boy And you'll become a legend In time, this blue of the sky Will reach out to knock on the door to your heart You're looking at me Make it all that you see Content and we're merely smiling Once more, the touch you long for Consumes you in yearning to find that embrace You're unaware, though Now to what fate will sow Temptation implores you to know Someday, you'll notice I pray that you'll realize These wings on your back aren't a dream At last, you'll have all you need to escape to The world where you'll finally be free This was all a cruel angel's thesis from the start Brought to life, out the window, now it's taking flight Scorching pathos if you betray your memory Follow this deviant-divine philosophy Shining more than these stars that bathe the galaxy Go forth, young boy And you'll become a legend With grace, and in my embrace You'll fall deep into sleep, so tempted to stay In the morning that falls You alone will be called By message from the world of dreams Moonlight reflects in your sight The night that surrounds you invites radiance And it's all in good will But if time could stand still This moment, I'd freeze it in place If there is meaning in two people meeting Then, maybe we're doing this right Within this trial, that might be the bible The way that we'll both reach the light This was all a cruel angel's thesis from the start It is time for the sorrow in us to arise You held tightly to all that's left and tangible Stuck between both the dream world and the actual You outshine any mortal who has walked the earth Go forth, young boy And you'll become a legend People who weave love create without knowing And carve a path through history Though I'll take a stand, I'm still only human The goddess you need can't be me This was all a cruel angel's thesis from the start Brought to life, out the window, now it's taking flight Scorching pathos if you betray your memory Follow this deviant-divine philosophy Shining more than these stars that bathe the galaxy Go forth, young boy And you'll become a legend

「サヨナラ」とささやく醜き世界に あかくあかいその翅(はね)ですべてを飾って 汚されるほど愛しく思える この地球で息をしてる者よ 憎んでいるほど抱きしめたくなる 鏡の前 別の自分 ジッと見つめてる そして人は弱さ隠すために やさしい誰かを傷つけた 「サヨナラ」とささやく醜き世界に あかくあかいその翅でひらりと舞い躍る どうか熱いキスをそうよ何度でも 暴れ出した心に気づいたならもう一度 変われる... 守りたいけど壊したくなるの はかなすぎて悲しくなったから 言葉はなくても小さな姿は そのカラダに生きるための強さ秘めている もしもすべて消えて闇が来ても あなたの匂いを憶えてる 柔らかな光の美しい世界に あつくあついこの胸に孤独を埋(うず)めてよ 終わりを繰り返しまた出逢えるなら 愚かなその欲望だけで私を掴まえて おねがい... 「サヨナラ」とささやく醜き世界に あかくあかいその翅でひらりと舞い躍る 「サヨナラ」と手をふる美しい世界に とめどなく溢れ流れる涙のその理由(わけ)を おしえて...
