言霊

息を吸う　夜が薄く笑う 吐く息が　影を縫い留める 灯りのない　鈴音の余韻 祈りのふりした噂がまとわりつく 守れなかった約束の名を 胸の奥で　何度も書き直す ひと文字で　世界はほどける 弱さも強さも　声に宿るなら 震える喉で　いま刻め 逃げ道のない　私の印 言霊 　その一音で夜が裂ける 言霊 　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる 救いも罪も　呼べば返る 消えない　消せない　私の声 言え　言え　言え 言霊　影を縫え 墨が滲むみたいに広がる不安 見えない鎖が　指先まで絡む 「もう無理だ」って言いかけた瞬間 闇が嬉しそうに　近づいた でも知ってる　言葉は刃じゃない 現実そのものを　形にするもの 息を整え　目を開けて 私を呼ぶ　ただそれだけ 言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける 言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる 救いも罪も　呼べば返る 消えない　消せない　私の声 言え　言え　言え 言霊　影を縫え 声は祈り　声は誓い 誰かの明日を　ほどいて結ぶ 傷も願いも　抱いたまま 私は私を　名乗り直す 言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける 言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる 迷いの輪を　踏み越えていけ 消えない　消せない　私の声 言え　言え　言え 言霊　希望を呼べ 静けさに　鈴がひとつ 言い切った言葉だけが　残る

I draw a breath as night smiles thin and pale Each breath I exhale stitches down the shadows No lantern glows, just a bell's lingering tone Rumors dressed as prayers come clinging to my skin The name of a promise I could not keep deep in my chest I rewrite it again and again With a single letter the whole world unravels If weakness and strength both live inside a voice then with a trembling throat I carve it now this mark of mine that leaves me no way out Word spirit, with one sound the night tears open Word spirit, the moment I speak it, fate leaps and turns Salvation and sin both answer when I call unfading, unerasable, this voice of mine Say it, say it, say it Word spirit, sew up the shadows Dread spreads out like ink bleeding through the page Unseen chains coil all the way to my fingertips The instant I began to whisper "I can't go on" the darkness drew near, almost delighted But I know now, words are not a blade they are what gives reality its very shape I steady my breath and open my eyes I call my own name, only that, nothing more Word spirit, with one sound the night tears open Word spirit, the moment I speak it, fate leaps and turns Salvation and sin both answer when I call unfading, unerasable, this voice of mine Say it, say it, say it Word spirit, sew up the shadows A voice is prayer, a voice is a vow unbinding someone's tomorrow then tying it anew Holding my wounds and my wishes close I rise and speak my own name once again Word spirit, with one sound the night tears open Word spirit, the moment I speak it, fate leaps and turns Step over the circle of doubt and walk on through unfading, unerasable, this voice of mine Say it, say it, say it Word spirit, call out the hope Into the stillness, a single bell rings and only the words I spoke for certain remain
