Title: Hyou Hyou to
Words: The Back Horn
Music: The Back Horn

if I'm going into the light
I'll bring the new moon in my heart
it's the road that leads away,
that my eyes fix upon.

if I'm going to a dark wasteland
I'll bring the sun in my heart
I'll believe with all my might,
and take a bold step forward.

naturally, this life means nothing.

what am I supposed to treasure?
it's not justice, it's not others
it might just be the pain carved into my body at night.

when the time comes, I'll give you my life, anything.

Is the cloud buoyantly drifting through the blue sky a soul?
tearing through the indifference I break into a run, within the wind
I call you like a baby, to my red blood.

I know it's endless, and I know I don't have time
I'm starved for life, that may be why I live.

even if soon my body will rot and I'll be reborn
I wonder if I'll remember that I had lived this life.

Is the cloud buoyantly drifting through the blue sky a soul?
tearing through the indifference I break into a run, within the wind
I call you like a baby, to my red blood.

and on it goes, today not unlike any other, again, under the red sun.

Translator's Notes: About the Title: The way they use the words hyou hyou to in the lyrics is to describe the buoyant way the clouds drift by. It can also mean "easy going" "adrift in the world".
