Kaketa tsuki ga terashidashita
Kageri no naka habikoru kyouki
Warai goe hibikiwatari
Kiba wo muite me wo hikarasete iru
Nigerarenai

Yurayura yurameku
Kokoro ni miekakure
Akumu no rondo ga kurikaesarete iru
Mezame no hikari wa
Haruka kanata mienaku nari
Tada hashiri nukeru
Yami no naka wo

Mori no naka izumi no naka
Iki wo koroshi mi wo hisomete mo
Semarikuru sugu chikaku ni
Yodonda koe owaranai yoru
Aa...

Mou koko kara derarenai no nara
Anata no sugata wo misete wa kurenai ka

Yurayura yurameku
Kokoro ni miekakure
Akumu no rondo ga kurikaesarete iru
Mezame no hikari wa
Haruka kanata mienaku naru
Tada ochite iku no
Yami no naka e

Orignal / Kanji / 歌詞

欠けた月が　照らし出した
陰りの中　はびこる狂気
笑い声　響き渡り
牙をむいて　目を光らせている
逃げられない

ゆらゆら　揺らめく
心に見え隠れ
悪夢の輪舞曲が　繰り返されている
目覚めの光は
遥かかなた　見えなくなり
ただ　走り抜ける
闇の中を

森の中　泉の中
息を殺し　身を潜めても
迫り来る　すぐ近くに
淀んだ声　終わらない夜
嗚呼...

もう　ここから　出られないのなら
貴方の　姿を　見せてはくれないか

ゆらゆら　揺らめく
心に見え隠れ
悪夢の輪舞曲が　繰り返されている
目覚めの光は
遥かかなた　見えなくなる
ただ　堕ちていくの
闇の中へ

English Translation

The waning moon illuminates
Within the shadows, madness thrives
Laughter echoes
Baring fangs, eyes gleaming
There's no escape

Swaying and flickering
Visible and hidden in the heart
The rondo of nightmare repeats
The light of awakening
Fades into the distant horizon
Just running through
The darkness

In the forest, in the spring
Even if you hold your breath, conceal yourself
Approaching, very close
A stagnant voice, an endless night
Ah...

If we can't escape from here anymore
Won't you show me your figure?

Swaying and flickering
Visible and hidden in the heart
The rondo of nightmare repeats
The light of awakening
Fades into the distant horizon
Simply descending
Into the darkness

Rondo is a musical form with a recurring leading theme, often found in the final movement of a sonata or concerto.
