FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus - Lyrics

Redemption

Japanese

Shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo
What else can I do besides avenge you?
Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumete ita .

Afureru kanashimi wa kesenai kizuato ni,
Wasure wa shinai to chikatta.

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase subete wo keshite miseyou,
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukeru saigo no kane ga nariyamu made.

You told me live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Feel as if you were to be reborn now ,
Face as if you were to live forever.

Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta,
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
Hakanai omoide ga yami ni ochite yuku.

Saigo no hohoemi ga ukande wa kieru,
Nukumori dake wo nokoshite.

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara ima no boku wa iyasenai,
Hateshinaku tsuzuku tatakai ni kono mi ni subete sasageru dake.

Itsu ka wa kono sora ni daremo ga kaeru kara,
Wakare no kotoba wa iranai make it up.

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase subete wo keshite miseyou,
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru saigo no kane ga nariyamu made.

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara ima no boku wa iyasenai,
Hateshinaku tsuzuku tatakai ni kono mi wo subete sasageru dake.

REDEMPTION!
REDEMPTION!

English

Your form which returns gently to heaven
What else can I do, besides avenge you?
I watched it for the longest time, until my tears dried up.

And the sorrow overflowing from the scar which can't be erased,
I swore that I would never forget it.

I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all some day you'll see,
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes.

You told me to live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Fail not and be what we were now,
Face as if we want to have forever.

Red tears traced by a trembling finger,
I had nothing to lose, nothing to lose
It crashes through the dark memories.
The last smile wavered, and disappears,
And the warmth is all that's left.

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

Because everyone returns to heaven, some day,
You'll never need to say goodbye.

Break Out!
I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes.
Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

Redemption!
