COLD SONG
Lyrics by Susumu Hirasawa
Translated by Alexander K. and Syotaro Takami
I awoke as if pierced by quartz
Chilled by the frigid night,
the worn-out moon still manages to reach my window
A voice speaks to me
“Behold my bright flame
Hear its silent heat”
As I lie trembling with cold, it says
“Reject the future burning out like a funeral pyre
and embrace my light”
Vile visions appear before my eyes:
Prisoners of apathy
Exercises in futility
Tears shed vainly
Lives lost needlessly
Deep within the dark genome of my weary heart,
another voice urges me to envision myself
as a flowering flame in human form
I awake as if pierced by quartz
No escapist visions, no frozen prison
Only that other voice
“Use your key to free yourself from this old, icy cell”
