L'Arc~en~Ciel: New World

04.26.05
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
Title: New World
Words: Yukihiro
Music: Hyde & Yukihiro

there is one reality
it's foolish to look back on yesterday
the sky unending, goes on forever
to a world without shadows

the voice of awakening, that reaches me through the noise
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)

grab the light that spills from a rift in the darkness, and raise it up
I'm awakening in the new world

if you'll put out your hands for me,
I can whisk you away
floating higher than anyone else
to the zero gravity zone we achieved

the voice awakening, aware of the countdown to freedom
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)
spread your well honed wings, take to the wind, and fly off
your heart racing out of control, echoes across time
I'm awakening in the new world

the warped after-image melts and washes away
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)
the track I draw goes through the sky, an endless ascent
(Fly away beyond the clouds. Will you still be in your dreams?)

grab the light that spills from a rift in the darkness, and raise it up
connect to this moment you longed for.

I fly higher and higher up with the voice you gave me
the future spilling over, pouring out so much it dazzles
I'm awakening in the new world
