THE IRON-BARRED SKY (tetsugoushi no sora)
lyrics/music: akiko hamada / translation: hana

You said my arm was uncomfortable and looked down
I removed your chains and finally gave you freedom

Tonight IÕm stuffed with cold pasta and the water I left in with it
That was all I could do to fill the hole

Outside the iron bars, a red flower is blooming
Without doing anything, night just comes, only that

So I wouldnÕt be crushed, I slapped your left cheek
So I wouldnÕt be killed, a knife was shone into my heart

In the iron-barred sky, the cirrocumulus is wavering
Sometimes the sun shines, night just comes, only that

Where is this? Who am I? Where am I flowing to?
Did you let go of me? Will you hold me? The light still isnÕt coming through

You showered dirty words over me, wearing an ugly face
After screaming with all my might, there was nothing there

Get out of here
