rate medareka no yobu koe ga kikoeta shoujo wa sore de me o samasu
kokochiyoi kaze ni dakarete sunda sora e to maiagarudareka ga ne... naite iru no...sore wa ki no sei kashira? (sou yo ki no sei yo ne)
mou... sou iu koto ja nai wa (jaa kaze no sei kashira?)
rakuen de naku hazu nai wa (sou yo naku hazu nai wa)
datte rakuen na n'da mono (rakuen dakara koso)dokoka de ne... naite iru no...kanashimi mo kurushimi mo? (sou yo koko ni wa nai kara)
shiawase michiafureru sekai? (sou sore ga rakuen)
rakuen de naku hazu nai wa (sou yo nakanaide ne)
datte rakuen na n'da mono (rakuen dakara koso)hontou wa ne... shitte iru no...
dareka ga ne... naite iru no...daiyon no chiheisen sono rakuen no shoutai wa...
sora wa are kigi wa karete hana wa kuzure kuchihate
fuhai shita daichi ga yami no soko e to ochite yuku...
ERU wa umare ERU wa itami ERU wa nozomi no hate
yasuragi no nemuri o motome egao de ochite yukuhakobune ni takusareta negai-tachi wa...
hizunda koigokoro no mama motomeai...
risou no shuukaku o machinozominagara...
tadai na gisei o moumoku no uchi ni haraitsudzuke...
tsui ni wa hoshikuzu ni mo te o nobasu darou...hasamikomareta yottsu no rakuen [El] ni madowasarezu ni
suichoku ni ochireba soko wa naraku [Abyss]doko kara kite doko e yuku no subete wa dare no gensou [yume]?
sashidasareta te ni kidzukanai mama ni ochite yuku...
ERU wa umare ERU wa itami ERU wa nozomi no hate
yasuragi no nemuri o motome egao de ochite yuku...taihai [Decadence] e to itaru gensou haitoku o tsumugitsudzukeru monogatari [Romance]
itami o daku tame ni umarete kuru kanashimi
ikudotonaku hirakareru tobira daiyon no chiheisen--
sono rakuen no na wa "ELYSION" mata no na wa "ABYSS"--
English translation
Someone's voice called out, waking the girl
Held by a pleasant breeze, she soared into the clear sky.Is someone... crying...?Is it her imagination? (Yes, it must be her imagination)
No... that isn't right. (Perhaps the wind, then?)
No one should be crying in Paradise (No, no one should be crying)
Since it's Paradise, after all (Because it's Paradise!)Is someone crying... somewhere...?Sadness and pain? (No, there's none of that here)
A world filled with happiness? (Yes, that's Paradise)
No one should be crying in Paradise (So please don't cry)
Since it's Paradise, after all (Because it's Paradise!)Does she... truly know?
Is someone... crying?The fourth horizon -- the true form of that Paradise is...
A stormy sky, withered trees, flowers rotting to pieces
This decayed land is falling to the depths of the darkness...
El is born, El feels pain, El's at the end of her hope
Longing for a peaceful sleep, she falls with a smileThe wishes entrusted to the ark...
Seek each other, filled with baroque love...
While waiting for the ideal's yield...
Blindly sacrificing more and more...
Almost reaching out to the stardust...If, without being slowed down by the four Elysions in the middle,
One were to fall straight down, he would surely fall right into the Abyss.Where did it come from, where is it going, and whose illusion [dream] is it?
Not noticing the outstretched hand, she falls...
El grows tired, El mourns, El's at the edge of her wish
Longing for a peaceful sleep, she falls with a smileThe illusion reaches decadence; the romance goes on spinning immorality
The sadness of being born to embrace pain
The door that's opened countless times, the fourth horizon
That Paradise's name is Elysion, also known as Abyss--
