Текст и перевод песни Linked Horizon - Akatsuki no Requiem

Akatsuki no Requiem

大地と大空は 何故別れたのだろう
世界は残酷で されど美しい

石を投げる者と 投げられる者には
容易に越えられぬ 柵がある
立ち位置が変われば 正義は牙を剥く
檻の中で吼えているのは 果たしてどちらか

心臓を捧げた 戻せない黄昏に
進み続けた夜の果て 楽園は何処にある？

Requiem Requiem
この夜に散った名も無き花よ
どうか安らかに暁に眠れ

暁と黄昏は 同じ寂しい色を抱いて
過ぎ去りし鳥の影 大地に焼き付ける

意志を屠る者と 屠られる者には
容易に相容れぬ 壁がある
真実を望めば 世界は崩れ去る
檻の中で見上げた空は 果たして自由か？

花束を捧げた 果たせない約束に
進み続けた道の果て 楽園は遠ざかる

Requiem Requiem
その夜に散った儚き花よ
どうか安らかに 暁に眠れ

《本当の自由》を求めて 何かを奪うのなら
奪われた方は また奪い返すでしょう 《殺意》を引き絞り

世界は単純で それ故に難解で
同じ悲劇 何度も繰り返す

Requiem Requiem
この夜に散った 咎無き花よ
せめて安らかに 暁に眠れ

そしていつか 語るなら
絡みつく因果 断ち切って
ああ、友よ 壁のない暁で逢おう

Requiem of the Dawn

Why did the earth and sky part ways?
The world is cruel, but still beautiful

There is a barrier between the one who throws stones and the one who is thrown
That cannot be crossed easily
When one's position changes, one's justice becomes a beast, baring its fangs
Who is it that roars from within the cage?

I offered my heart to the irreversible twilight
I have journeyed on through the night, but where can paradise be found?

Requiem, Requiem
You nameless flower, who perished on that night
May you rest in peace, sleeping through the dawn

The dawn and the twilight, they hold the same desolate hue
Etching the shadows of departed birds onto the earth

There is an unyielding wall between the one who slays the will and the one who is slain
That cannot be reconciled easily
If I seek the truth, the world will crumble
As I look up to the sky from my cage, is this freedom?

I offered a bouquet to the unfulfilled promise
I have journeyed on through the path, but paradise grows further away

Requiem, Requiem
You fleeting flower, who perished on that night
May you rest in peace, sleeping through the dawn

If one takes something in search of "true freedom"
He who is robbed shall come forth again to seize

The world is simple and thus it is intricate
Repeating the same tragedy over and over

Requiem, Requiem
You guiltless flower, who perished on that night
May you at least rest in peace, sleeping through the dawn

And so, if I were to speak once more
I would sever the tangled threads of cause and effect
Oh, my friend, let us meet in a dawn without walls
