Lyrics

Kanji

残酷な天使のように

少年よ　神話になれ

青い風がいま

胸のドアを叩いても

私だけをただ見つめて

微笑んでるあなた

そっとふれるもの

もとめることに夢中で

運命さえまだ知らない

いたいけな瞳

だけどいつか気付くでしょう　その背中には

遥か未来　めざすための　羽根があること

残酷な天使のテーゼ

窓辺からやがて飛び立つ

ほとばしる熱いパトスで

思い出を裏切るなら

この宇宙(そら)を抱いて輝く

少年よ　神話になれ

ずっと眠ってる

私の愛の揺りかご

あなただけが　夢の使者に

呼ばれる朝がくる

細い首筋を

月あかりが映してる

世界中の時を止めて

閉じこめたいけど

もしもふたり逢えたことに　意味があるなら

私はそう　自由を知る　ためのバイブル

残酷な天使のテーゼ

悲しみがそしてはじまる

抱きしめた命のかたち

その夢に目覚めたとき

誰よりも光を放つ

少年よ　神話になれ

人は愛をつむぎながら　歴史をつくる

女神なんてなれないまま　私は生きる

残酷な天使のテーゼ

窓辺からやがて飛び立つ

ほとばしる熱いパトスで

思い出を裏切るなら

この宇宙(そら)を抱いて輝く

少年よ　神話になれ

English (Version 1)

Like an angel with cruel and merciless intent

Go forth, young boy, and you’ll become a legend

In time, this blue of the sky

Will reach out to knock on the door to your heart

You’re looking at me

Make it all that you see

Content and we’re merely smiling

Once more, the touch you long for

Consumes you in yearning to find that embrace

You’re unaware though

Now to what fate will sow

Temptation implores you to know

Someday you’ll notice – I pray that you’ll realize

These wings on your back aren’t a dream

At last, you’ll have all you need to escape to

The world where you’ll finally be free

This was all a Cruel Angel’s Thesis from the start

Brought to life, out window now it’s taking flight

Scorching pathos if you betray your memory

Follow this deviant-divine philosophy

Shining more than these stars that bathe the galaxy

Go forth, young boy, and you’ll become a legend

With grace, and in my embrace

You fall deep into sleep, so tempted to stay

In the morning that falls

You alone will be called

By message from the realm of dreams

Moonlight reflects in your sight

The night that surrounds you invites radiance

And it’s all in goodwill

But if time could stand still

This moment, I’d freeze it in place

If there is meaning in two people meeting

Then maybe we’re doing this right

Within this trial, that might be the bible -

The way that we’ll both reach the light

This was all a Cruel Angel’s Thesis from the start

It is time, for the sorrow in us to arise

You held tightly to all that’s left and tangible

Stuck between both the dream world and the actual

You out-shine any mortal who has walked the Earth

Go forth, young boy, and you’ll become a legend

People who weave love, create without knowing

And carve a path through history

Though I’ll take a stand

I’m still only human

The goddess you need can't be me

This was all a Cruel Angel’s Thesis from the start

Brought to life, out window now it’s taking flight

Scorching pathos if you betray your memory

Follow this deviant-divine philosophy

Shining more than these stars that bathe the galaxy

Go forth, young boy, and you’ll become a legend
