Dystopia

Dystopia of Irreversible Destiny

Listen to the song on YouTube

Tsubomi Nekoashi (CV: Yuu Serizawa)

In this peaceful and prosperous world
Their shadows, holding breath, are drawing near
It’s dystopia of irreversible destiny
I know you know, don’t you?

My heart beats wildly, something’s approaching with the dusk
As dark clouds are gathering, a premonition rings in my ears

Leave fortune and misfortune for Heaven to decide
It guides you, so walk forward with faith in your heart
If I’d given a sign that the future was bright
I could have protected at least something, couldn’t I?

The fate of the world
The fate of the future you desire
Leave it all
In my hands

In this peaceful and prosperous era
Their shadows, holding breath, are drawing near
Don’t let your guard down even for a moment
And try to stay away
A beautiful voice from beyond the oblivion
Is singing of what is to come
It’s dystopia of irreversible destiny
I know you know, don’t you?
Someday you’ll understand, won’t you?

From the abyss of my recurring memories something’s spilling out
As if lured by the moon floating in the dark skies

Oh why humans seek so persistently the guidance of stars?
If you can’t think of an answer
Let me show it to you with my own hands

In this peaceful and prosperous world
Their shadows, seeking something, are drawing near
It’s dystopia of irreversible destiny
That’s the answer, isn’t it?

In the night of falling stars
My voice echoes bringing hope
The ideal I painted is right in front of me
I’ll surely reach it someday, won’t I?

An angel’s voice in a rondo of blessing
Is singing of what is about to change
It’s dystopia of irreversible destiny
It’s called love, isn’t it?
You understand it too, don’t you?

With my own hands

In this peaceful and prosperous world

Ah, dystopia of irreversible destiny

TL note
In two lines Tsubomi uses pronouns 我が (waga) and 我ら (warera) that sound kind of old-fashioned and/or dramatic in contrast to her usual pronoun 私 (watashi). I used italics to mark that difference.
