WHITE PRAYER
Lyrics: Shou
Music: alice nine.

so many lies, so much pain. miminari wa tomaranai
hitori no yoru no oto ga shizuka de
searching for Raison d'etre. hakushi no hitonami ni
gokusai no penki wo mochi aruku

itsukaraka nani mo kanjinaku natta

And cry, with love wasureteru hazu sa
guree ni somatta sekai ga riaru janai to
nemutte mo nemutte mo asa wa konai kara
ima kono te de kagi wo akeyou

black or white, jewel or stone.
muryokusa ga itoshikute
muryoku nara dareka wo motomeru kara
Please save me, with a white rose. itami wo wakeaeru,
sou dekiru tsuyosa ga hoshii

"kitaisuru koto wo wasureta kimi e"

And cry, with love dakara tsutaetai
kanashii uta mo kesshite mudajanai to
nemutte mo nemutte mo asa wa konai kara
ima kono te de kagi wo akeyou

doredake iro wo kasanete mo
somaru koto no nai ore de iyou

And cry, with love wasureteru hazu sa
guree ni somatta sekai ga riaru janai to
nemutte mo nemutte mo asa wa konai kara
ima kono te de kagi wo akeyou

WHITE PRAYER

so many lies, so much pain. The ringing in my ears doesn't stop
The sounds of a lonely night reside in silence
searching for Raison d'etre*. In the blank sheet of humanity
Carrying the most richly-coloured paint, I walk

Since when did I stop feeling anything?

And cry, with love We're sure to forget
That the world which was dyed grey isn't real
Even if we keep sleeping and sleeping, morning doesn't come, so
Now, with this hand, let's turn the key

black or white, jewel or stone.
Helplessness is endearing
Because if you're helpless, you can wish for someone
Please save me, with a white rose. The pain can be shared,
I want the strength to be able to do that

"To you, who has forgotten what you were anticipating"

And cry, with love So I want to tell you
Even the sad songs are never useless
Even if we keep sleeping and sleeping, morning doesn't come, so
Now, with this hand, let's turn the key

No matter how much the colours pile up
I'll stay the way I am, undyed

And cry, with love We're sure to forget
That the world which was dyed grey isn't real
Even if we keep sleeping and sleeping, morning doesn't come, so
Now, with this hand, let's turn the key
