Title: Mind Forest
Words: Gackt Camui
Music: Gackt Camui

In the cascading light,
I saw you at play,
From the voice in the swaying trees,
a smile broke out
Slender fingertips, which never stop chasing
the dream which fell apart and disappeared,
bring pain.

stay with me always, with a gentile smile on your face
looking deep into one another's eyes
I saw a vision (7th Night)


I'll be taken away to a place
from which I can't reach
the meaninglessness of an eternity,
of time which can't be turned back.
My memories with you,
were more beautiful than any
flower blooming gloriously.

The bell ringing out from somewhere
calls to me with a vaguely familiar melody
within my heart.

because you're always there by me
I pull your tiny body into an embrace
at the end of a promise fulfilled, I drew yesterday. (7th Night)


I spread my wings, and fly into the sky
led by the many lights,
My memories with you
were more beautiful than
any far off twinkling star.

To those lips which will never again know the touch
of a flower bouquet so bounteous it can't be held...

I'll be taken away to a place
from which I can't reach
the meaninglessness of an eternity,
of time which can't be turned back.
My memories with you,
were more precious to me than any
flower blooming gloriously.
