Ripple [English Lyrics]

Anime: Highschool of the Dead
Artist: Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets
Originally Written: June 3rd, 2018

Lightning bolt, hurricane
A shock to your veins
It lingers, it mirrors
It echoes inside my head

Day by day, through these trials
The past seems so far away
The time's now, don't stop yet
Another swarm awaits

What will it take?
Return those days

The tension, the horror
Adrenaline pumps through me
Noises thrills me, it stills me
From screaming out in pain

Go deeper, no longer
Can I cry about the past
No time to think twice now
Or it will be too late

Through rain, the heavy snow
The heat, the desert folds

The dreams we had are now dust in the wind
There's no looking back; the monsters will rise again
Though you're still here, you feel so far away
Are we giving up or do we fight another day?

We danced and chased as
Our friends all died around us
Their cries and their wishes
All repeat in my head

We cannot and will not
Succumb to these demons
What lies ahead
No one can ever say

Though it is getting hoarse
I shout until I'm heard

"We can be sad for friends that lost their lives
But we cannot let ourselves give up our will to fight
If we will have the same fate as our foes
Hand in hand, we march into our death heroes"

My Heaven [English Lyrics]

Anime: Canaan

Originally Written: June 3rd, 2018

I cannot move, I cannot breathe
It's hurting me
No longer feeling any pain
It's better than hell

Watching myself from the outside
The cold sets in
A sigh sets a shiver down my spine
Sweet dark whisper,

"Do you wish to be free?"
This voice asked of me.
I said honestly,
"Break me instead."

Bright, those eyes that stared at me
Right through the girl I used to be
Time stood still as we stand
Both in awe, hand in hand

Pride, the shred of it I had
Ride, this unforgiving life
No heaven, no heaven
Sight of you

She cannot look, she cannot love
Her heart is still
She gave up everything for you
Like old angel

She hasn't laughed, she hasn't smiled
She no longer weeps
Light shines down from above
Born from feather

"Do you wish to be free?"
I hoped with glee
She turned to me
"I'd rather flee."

Slide, as you fall onto your knees
Sly, though you probably want to scream
Die, as your life comes to an end
Don't be afraid. I am here

Prize, the lesson you have missed
Rise, the skies will be your lift
My heaven, my heaven

Her eyes show a glimmer of hope
Is this reality?
Too bad it had to come to this
Goodbye

Ah is that your hand through my chest?
Ah have I fallen into the depths?
"My, whatever will happen next?"
Fly, it's too late

Bright, those eyes that stared at me
Right through the girl I used to be
Time stood still as we stand
Both in awe, hand in hand

Pride, the shred of it I had
Ride, this unforgiving life
No heaven, no heaven
Sight of you

A crying child
A bird stuck inside his cage
A frozen flower grows a heart
Their voices seem to fade
Against the dark
They cannot hide their pain

I need your blood
You read love too loud
The screaming red light
I tried to block it all out
Forced open the reasonable doubt
Why can't you let it go?

Our sins live and die and I
A fake side heaven
You play with our fears and lies
To save your own skin
I won't be a toy for you, not anymore
I will fight with all my might
Or watch myself fail a thousand times

I must be sacrificed
So can I help you all?
I'll be a scapegoat if I can
My resolution failed
And all who died
Light of day still hurts me

You so need to know
You don't need to go
You're waiting right here
A way for me to make it back
Some way I won't need to attack
Everything has gone so wrong

Come on, break it down for me
A river will flow
You are not my enemy
I'll let you prove me wrong
You can trust me when I say
It won't be long
We're gonna see the end of night
Don't forsake me now
We haven't got the time

The fallen angels I run with all know
It's our fear that makes us all human after all
Torn, old sepia photographs show
Our fragile little world
Must reject it, respond to the
Calling, screaming inside of my soul
It's my fear of loving what's dearest to us all
Sun is fading; it will set forever

Are you still my family?
A river will flow
You are not my enemy
I'll let you prove me wrong
You can trust me when I say
It won't be long
We're gonna see the end of night

Come on, break it down for me
A river will flow
You play with our fears and lies
To save your own skin
I won't be a toy for you, not anymore
I will fight with all my might
Or watch myself fail a thousand times

The fallen angels I run with all know
It's our fear that makes us all human after all
Torn, old sepia photographs show
Our fragile little world
Must reject it, respond to the
Calling, screaming inside of my soul
It's my fear of loving what's dearest to us all
Sun is fading; it will set forever

Too much time has passed, I can't even grasp
The emotions that stir up when I think of you
Why am I such a fool? Am I just your tool?
Many broken promises to try to make this work again

The happy times of past, the hope of tomorrow
I keep wondering what it is that I did wrong to you
Is it so hard for you to hold me tonight
And whisper that everything is going to be alright?

Too many lies, how much I cried, but not anymore

The real folk blues, don't let them use
All your sadness in your life against you
You've gone through muddy waters
Still you wonder, "Was it really all that bad?
Could we go again? One more go around."

Such a foolish thought, I was young back then
I gave you another chance, though I shouldn't have
This was worse than last, you took all I had
Now my life is where it was when you stormed away

How many goodbyes does it take me for me to get it through my head?

The real folk blues, don't let them use
All their happiness in life to spite you
Though they seem to think that you envy them
The road for you is much brighter

The real folk blues, don't let them use
All your sadness in your life against you
You've gone through muddy waters
Still you wonder, "Was it really all that bad?
Could we go again? One more go around."

The day you died was when I truly lived
Your pain fueled my bite
Even these thoughts are well forbidden
I can't stop these delights

The happiness as it drains from your eyes
Fills me up with this pride
Darkness is waiting for me
Behind my smile, it hides

Why do you think there is a thing that is called sin?
Why are we punished for the crimes we commit?

The bones of your body are so weak it sickens me
How about I break each one while I bathe in eternal sin?
It's your fault that I am this way, you treated me like a child
But now you know your mistakes and now you'll fade

There are things in my past
That I can't lock away
Spiteful words thrown by enemies
That I just couldn't face

Even though you said you would love me so
Throughout my madden ways
There are people that can't
Take away my love to hate

Why do we tend to dream of futures we cannot have?
Why do I laugh at the bodies I cut in half?

Why should I cry for the lies that you sold to me that day?
I won't pretend that your death caused this problem in me
If you treated me like you did when we had first met
Maybe this tragedy won't be repeated

Can I wake up tomorrow and smile knowing what I just did?
Can I hide my joy as I enjoyed the kill?
I know I'm not sane, you knew that when you married me
Enjoy your rest, my dear, now I'm free

Sequentia
Love within this crimson dark night
Record my love upon this altar in the moonlight
Sing this song tonight, O dear sweet love of mine
Promises sworn upon our hearts was-

The thing that destroys the world that we all live in is the light in our lives
It stays hidden, keeping out of reach of humans with wicked things on their minds
What truly reflects right now is the purity of this damned life
Hopelessness and innocence transmit through your eyes
A sword without a knight, my life is incomplete when you are not near

You found me in the dark, in the nights that I was lost
Screaming from the nightmares that continue to haunt me
My feelings flowed out from my heart and
Let you captivate all of my dreams

Bonds that are intertwined have a special place in my heart
Close your eyes to protect me from their shine
I believe... in our love that connects the past
Darkness stays away from the truth at last

It's impossible to sever this bond without following our promises
I can forgive all the wretched words that you branded onto my heart
Sign on the dotted line, to give to me your wretched life
Omens of desperation and atrocities
To love without a fight, reach out and protect me from the disloyalties

You found me in the night, with my eyes toward the light
Nothing ever goes right when I am without you
I realize to sacrifice my life
Is the way to get through this strife

Dear, please dry your eyes. Your tears are precious
With our love, everything will be alright
I believe... in our promises of the past
This fight for our future ends at last

Sequentia
Love within this crimson dark night
Record my love upon this altar in the moonlight
Sing this song tonight, O dear sweet love of mine
Promises sworn upon our hearts was-

"Forever you're mine

And mine alone-" Because this crimson, dark night
That forces us to fight, though our victory has been achieved
When my words of love was defied
Your strength and understanding shone through

Bonds that are intertwined have a special place in my heart
Close your eyes to protect me from their shine
I believe... in our love that connects the past
The truth of what we are has changed at last

When I was darkness at that time
In the corner of my room
Everytime you hurt me I cry
The more I try to reach my dreams
The more we fuss, we fight, we scream
These broken promises hurt me

Nobody can save me
All I have are these memories
Stop trying to tear apart my love

I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Your sadness, it fills your song
It is a reflection of my life

I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
With your smile, your eyes
And sing me just for me

I wanna need your love
I'm a broken rose
I wanna need your love

When you were with me at that time
I tried to chase what we were meant to be
But you were the only one who stopped me
The more I push, the more you pull
Your arms, your embrace, it's killing me
Save me with your lips, just kiss me

Nobody can save me
This frozen rose of purity
Why can't I seem to stop my tears

I need your love
I'm a broken rose
My sadness, it fills my soul
Please help this little girl

I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
With your smile, your eyes
And sing me, just for me

I wanna need your love
I'm a broken rose
I wanna need your love

I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Your sadness, it fills your song
It is a reflection of my life

I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
With your smile, your eyes
And sing me just for me

I wanna need your love
I was a broken rose
I wanna need your love

Ah, I have fled these nights cowering silently
From these frozen nightmares and these crooked, wicked lies
Warm me, Warm me, Wrap me

I can't hide - these memories are all that I have left to see
I can't cry - love is difficult for a being such as me

No matter how far I walk, I cannot see an end in sight
My past mistakes are always haunting me
Why can't I hide the filthy sight of this empty entities?
Seeking the truth that I can't erase

Why did you abandon me the day I was in need?
My heart cannot find where my happiness used to lie
Hide it, hide it, hide me

I can't hold the stars we used to count together those wishful days
So I had to return my wishes back from whence they came

I was weak and ignorant that I couldn't fight for you
Even though I clearly knew the truth
Yet I was dreaming of a future that contained me and you
I counted the days til you came back to me

Why do we live to die and only die to live?
If I can be happy, then my own mistakes I shall forgive

On that day
You gave me your word that you would see me again
Even though I haven't seen you ever since
I grew stronger then, remembering the pain I felt
"Goodbye my love."

Even though you hurt me so, I can't forget your smiling face
It keeps me going so I can't lose my place
My end's in sight, it's not alright, I can't lose another day
Give me the answer for our love, my dear
I travel on for the cure for this fear

Count the tears that have echoed out these fears
No more thinking of the years
That we would have as we watch the moon set

How many stories will you weave today
Lies that I'll no longer take
What you're doing to me anymore

Once a heart has been broken it can't heal
No matter what you feel
I won't come back to get hurt once again

Heartfelt words in beat with this song
Did you love me all along
But regret for our future has come to pass

Don't say you love me just to take it all back
Someday the light inside of us has to die to be born again someday

The words that we passed between the lips of our memories
Can only set us free as long as we mean each one we say
Look up at the sky and see, everything is meant to be
Tomorrow will always be better than the promise of spring

Every time I close my eyes
I just feel like I should cry
You didn't even say bye
You just ran away

I see your face as I try to erase
These fleeting thoughts I shall chase
Until you have left my mind without a trace

All those born into this world must have a purpose
Why don't I feel that I can stay when you have taken my very reason to live?

The way that you made me feel, has it ever been this real?
It only broken the seal on my heart and refused to heal
Even though you hurt me so, I will never let you go
My feelings will always grow, give me the strength to forgive your soul

The words that we passed between the lips of our memories
Can only set us free as long as we mean each one we say
Look up at the sky and see, everything is meant to be
Tomorrow will always be better than the promise of spring

If I could not find myself or confirm the person that I am
Would you believe that you are you through this circumstance?
If you broke the glass that contained all of your broken emotions
Would you bear my burdens and pick them all up once again?

Someone's voice is calling out to me
Why won't they just let me be?
Time has stopped for us and now we sing
Open up your eyes for me

We ignite the fire that is burning throughout our veins
We stand up for what we believe even if we're slain
We fight with fear in our hearts as if we aren't sane
Outside these walls, we hope to find our way

If there were no light capable of brightening this frightening world
Would you shrink into the darkness or emit a glow yourself?
If there's no way to fight against an enemy twice your size
Would you give up and flee, or start a revolution today?

Someone's voice is calling out to me
Though it's not a friend or enemy
Countdown til we all meet our end
What is left that we can defend?

We broke out our childish dreams when disaster struck us down
We shed tears as their bodies laid throughout our town
Farewell days of youth and peaceful nights of memories
We stride through life like beasts

Covered in our enemy's blood
Whatever will I do with my love?
All of my strength has left me suddenly
I raise this rusted blade and scream

"We are one until the end."

We ignite the fire that is burning throughout our veins
We stand up for what we believe even if we are slain
We fight with fear in our hearts as if we aren't sane
Outside these walls, we hope to find our way
Let's meet again someday
Under the skies of grey

When the sun begins rising in the west
We'll continue this somber song of mine
And saying our goodbyes
Our dreams turned out to be nothing in the end
Chasing after the light within in our eyes
On the warm winds we would ride

Dancing barefoot, taking in the sunshine
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again

In the back of my mind
My memories still resides
In those fun summer days
(It was warm)

Holding hands with you down
That path by my house
As we picked colorful flowers
(And we sang)

The clouds always swayed
On nights when you were away
I always wanted to show it to you
But I awaken to the fact
That you're never coming back
So my search for you begins

My feet move on their own, moving towards your presence
How could you desert me, I can't live without my friend

When the sun begins rising in the west
We'll continue this somber song of mine
And saying our goodbyes
Our dreams turned out to be nothing in the end
Chasing after the light within in our eyes
On the warm winds we would ride

Dancing barefoot, taking in the sunshine
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again

Middle of the night - maybe 7
Picking flowers that we loved in the summer
Do you even want to see me?
Do you want to come back to me?
Are my feelings not reaching thee?
Are you ignoring these
Tears that I have shed for you?

In a second, a flash
Something blinded my sight
Like a sign from above
Pushing me back
It told me to move on
You'll come back in time
The tears that I had shed
Would be rewarded in the end

In a flash, a blast
Filling the cracks
Like a sign from above
Pushing me back
It told me to move on
You'll come back in time
The tears that I had shed
Would be rewarded in the end

Dancing barefoot, taking in the sunshine
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again

Dancing barefoot, doing a perfect Samba
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again

When the sun begins rising in the west
We'll continue this somber song of mine
And saying our goodbyes
Our dreams turned out to be nothing in the end
Chasing after the light within in our eyes
On the warm winds we would ride

All I felt was hate for you, I could never forget your face
I repeated your name every day
With the pull of this gun, I would have saved everyone
My sins will be cleansed by your blood


Every time I close my eyes, I see my family die
Is there a way for this to end?
The only way for me to right this wrong
Enacting my own true revenge


Blood runs on my hands, sins from the past trickle down
The human in me has died
Carve it with my knife, an etching of my signal
Muddling with my memories


Drowning in sadness, losing myself in the pain
Just an endless spiral
Regret what you’ve done, cower in fear like a child
Repeat this living nightmare now


Somehow I can’t erase, the look on your face
The night you took it all away
Though I made you cry in pain, it’s in vain
My misery, it hasn’t changed; it stays the same
But still my knife aches for your flesh
Enacting my own true revenge


Blood runs on my hands, sins from the past trickle down
The human in me has died
Carve it with my knife, an etching of my signal
Muddling with my memories


Drowning in sadness, losing myself in the pain
Just an endless spiral
Regret what you’ve done, cower in fear like a child
Repeat this living nightmare now

Zero fault, zero blame, zero hurt, zero pain
