THE SEA OF OBLIVION (boukyaku no umi) music/lyrics: akiko hamada / translation: hana Called by the wind, I quietly turned around It lets me come near repeatedly, like white waves The beat said the dawn is coming The place I'm supposed to be isn't anywhere, I guess The birds huddled together in the forest of sleep Spread their wings and cross this sea It began to tangle, my white thread How many afterimages are waiting in piles for the stars? Kidnapped by the wind, I quietly came back to my senses A single sliver of the wide world Is falling onto my fingertip I shouldnŐt be afraid of change I saw today's end melting on the horizon It grew dim in the yellow sand It began to tangle, my white thread 12 paints are waiting in piles for the stars In the endless blue sea that swallows the darkness Waiting for the stars without changing that day when I was young
