ELIXIR一郎

Woke up early in the morning

Somewhat sleepy, somewhat late

10 minutes left time to pray

A new day begun again

After prayers the holy book

And after that a delicious breakfast

I crouched in front of the screen, wondering

What should I write, for this report

Things got a little hazy, things got a little blurry

Into another slumber you sent me

That alarm You told me to set earlier

Rang at 7:45, and I realized I was dreaming

A little bit of this, and things that I don't like

But since You gave it, it must be good for me

Then at 8:15, finally You showed me what to write

A brilliant report that I never thought of

しっかりしていたい、はっきりしていたい

朝ってミラクル、あなたはワンダーフル

Light Binder

It's not the weather

Probably is has come

The time of the year

When snow falls in midsummer

While ants gather around a rotten apple

I stare at the sky wondering

Has cosmic started its alignment?

And it is not a dream

Funny how complicated things are

To have two souls in one body

Funny to be the one who crosses time

But still this uneasiness lingers

Just what is this anxiety?

To watch myself with the eye of the heart

Reality isn't quite what it seems

I ask for only one answer

What should I know and what shouldn't I?

The Light Binder made me from clay

And put us above spectrums of light

Alas the traveler picks up hes sword

Somewhat heavy, somewhat far

50 years later se promises to return

And it was a long day for hem again

Look At Me

Always wanting You to look at me

I forgot about the things you gave

Going around wondering how to make You love me

But I never looked at those You blessed

Do they really love You? I always ask

Do they even know You? I ask with angst

I can't help but weep

Everytime their words make You look weak

But I forgot that humans make mistakes

Why didn't I see when I sat under the stars

Birds flying back to their nests after a long day work

That small stream flowing nearby

Had it always been that blue?

I see now Your love is infinite

Hatred from jealousy leads to nowhere

If I always want to despise

When will I get out of this prison called delusion

But now I've climbed the walls

And saw a beautiful rainbow arc

Life is short

My journey is almost over

Resting Area

I have chosen this road

This difficult road

Not everyone can move

Now everyone can just wait

Someone has to do it

While someone can just sit

I sat down for too long

My legs have gotten numb

Time to spread these wings

And begin a new journey

Too long the rest was

Too short the journey will be

Why not take a break? say them

Because it's too easy

The traveler always walk on

From the past to the future

Always smiling

But never looking back

That's how travelers are

And I don't want to be the one who waits

My lover once said

"If fighting is our destiny,

Then there is nothing to do but fight"

But no one knows their destinies

Till everything ends

Still I want to be the one who flies

I will be the one who learns

Countless Treasures

We are always fighting

Always struggling

Don't hold back those tears

It's part of life

We are always looking back

Always saying the same "I'm alone"

Now I look again

And then I look again

How many battles have I gone through?

To struggle against sadness

To get to know true loneliness

I've befriended darkness

Oh foolish days

"I'll protect you" was an undeliberate lie

In fact life is full of lies

Have you ever found yourself

The last one standing with the flag

Then dimensions flip

And you're in the next battle

Yes, that's right

Life is full of pain

By getting hurt we learnt that blood is red

And still I have time to write

And still these hands leave their marks behind

Back To Earth

Mysterious the way people work

Notoriously challenging the rules

And though knows, believes not

And that applies to me too

How can this training be so short?

And while people fuss over trivial things

I wonder why I only see the big picture

When they draw me the small pixels

I happened to see more than black and white

As I see what's between 0 and 1

Can't help but think how small it can break

Unable to say no to those things

I start learning again

What's the big picture?

0 or 1

It's true it's not enough

Nothing more that foundations

Maybe I'm starting to see it

Because I'm not a robot

After all I'm a traveler

Who travels and learns

Scarecrow

It's time to go

困ってる人がいるからこそ

私たちは動く

When I told you we have to move

You called me a fool

For abandoning knowledge that could be a tool

You said wait, it's not time yet

Just like them, always waiting

Then do you know who they are?

The people who said the same thing in the past hundred years

But what changes? What do you see?

All promises made, few actually done

The rich just rise higher

While more people struggle in poverty

What is this promise that you want to make?

History proved it, what else is there to say

When people move, those who don't will be left behind

How can you laugh here

When you know out there people are suffering?

Someone's working on it? How do you know

You're doing it your own way? What is your way

Always making promises

人間の悪い癖

Because you will be asked more than this

On judgment day

And no one will back you up

Unless you wake up from those selfish dreams

Between Sunset And Sunrise

Something moves in the hearts

Birds that flap their wings under the red sky

Always wanting to fly, we repeat the same mistakes

An ocean that was blue holds treasures

Deep down at the bottom lie the secrets

So near yet untouchable

Have we thought as we walk on this earth?

How we hurt the trees just because they can't speak

They say you can tell animals apart at a glance

Amidst stupidity we are different

Tomorrow comes at a steady pace along with death

And with death comes lie, the size of a palm

We know everything is a blessing

The mountains that hold strong, the earth that revolves

Diamonds in the sky show the way

To sailors, to travelers as well

Birds that sing, birds that fly

Over the snowtops the deers ran

Though you admit that laughter is remedy

Why deny those you can't grasp?

Look forward as you walk on this earth

You might see where pillars of the sky stand

I had been fooled for a long time

When I thought emotion is a lie

A forget-me-not smiles at the sun

A small stone stares up at the wide night sky

Tokyo Heart

Enough with our stories

Time write a new chapter

Beneath a forbidden land you wipe sword

Clean from blood that you shed from those poor souls

Against each other again and again

Then under the same silver-leafed tree you sat

Filling each others' cups with tea

Reminiscing the good old future drama

What brings? What says? What is this?

Enough with madness, we'll write a new chapter

Could it be gold that they seek?

Singing under the moonlight a blank lullaby

It's not hard, it's easy this way of life

But they say no, when we haven't even asked

Hmm... hymn a long hymn

Thinking, thinking is a road

Leading to a birth of a new face

But people only trust their greed

Complexity makes things look great

Sometimes it brings us to our knees

I wonder if I'll be able to slip out

When will this be answered

This circle of life

While Unearthing Diamonds I Found...

I know somewhere out there you are crying

I know what the stars see when they embed the night sky

If it is our destiny to hold onto third thread

It will come through a looking glass

Somewhere is what's beyond

In another sky someone awaits

People never cease to wait in vain

Even as light moves on as fast to tell the time

Why won't they believe that time can play like music

Repeating over and over again

Or going backwards

Or even stop

A sweet fragrance tells of a story from the future

That has not yet begun but that soothes the pain

The pain after being clawed and torn then sewn again

Ahh, what they call a curse is but a wonderful miracle

When the birds sing in the blue sky I gazed at the hill

Where you sat, where you waited

Where it all will begin

And creatures of darkness are made of fire

Who would've thought they could work otherwise

They always say nothing matters

But they had always understood

In the name of the Creator who made me from earth

I vow to fight and retain peace on this land
