Thread That Stitches a Thousand Years

夜を裂く　三味線のひと音 濡れた石畳　影が舞う 結び目だらけのこの命 ほどけるたび　強くなる 誰かが残した祈り火を 胸の奥へ縫い込んで 過去も未来も一息に 今この手で引き寄せる 切れそうなら　響け 迷う心ごと　鳴らせ 針のような月を掲げ 朝へ突きさせ 縫え　縫え　千年を縫え 涙と光を交差して 燃えろ　燃えろ　祈りの糸 この夜を紅く染めろ 縫え　縫え　千年を縫え 離れた鼓動をつないで 何度ほどけても　また 運命を縫い直せ 傷は隠さず　模様にして 孤独は低い歌にして 受け取った熱のその先へ まだ見ぬ誰かに渡してく 息を止めて　一拍 闇を焦がす　和太鼓 声なき声を重ねて 今　ひとつになれ 祈りは待つことじゃない 震える手を伸ばすこと 裂けた世界の隙間さえ この愛で縫い留める 縫え　縫え　千年を縫え 昨日と明日を交差して 燃えろ　燃えろ　祈りの糸 この夜を朝に変えろ 縫え　縫え　千年を縫え 離れた鼓動をつないで 何度倒れても　また 運命を縫い直せ 縫え　縫え　千年を縫え 声が消えてしまっても 胸に残された祈りは 千年先まで燃える 縫え　縫え　縫え　縫え 縫え… 祈りを未来へ

A single shamisen note tears the night Shadows dance on wet cobblestones This life is nothing but knots Growing stronger every time it unravels The prayer-fire someone left behind I stitch it deep into my heart Past and future in one breath I draw them close now with this hand If it threatens to break, resound Make the whole wavering heart resound Raise the needle-thin moon Thrust it toward the morning Stitch, stitch, stitch a thousand years Cross tears and light Burn, burn, thread of prayer Dye this night crimson Stitch, stitch, stitch a thousand years Connect the heartbeats torn apart No matter how many times it unravels, again Restitch fate Don't hide the wounds, make them a pattern Turn loneliness into a low song The warmth I received, I carry onward I pass it on to someone still unseen Hold your breath for one beat Taiko drums scorch the dark Layer the voiceless voices Now become one Prayer is not about waiting It's about reaching out a trembling hand Even the gaps in a torn world I stitch them shut with this love Stitch, stitch, stitch a thousand years Cross yesterday and tomorrow Burn, burn, thread of prayer Turn this night into morning Stitch, stitch, stitch a thousand years Connect the heartbeats torn apart No matter how many times you fall, once again Restitch fate Stitch, stitch, stitch a thousand years Even if the voice fades away The prayer left in the heart Still burns a thousand years from now Stitch, stitch, stitch, stitch Stitch... Carry the prayer to the future
