Текст и перевод песни Linked Horizon - 暁の鎮魂歌

暁の鎮魂歌

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
遺志を屠る者と 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
こ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
奪われたものを 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
この夜に散った咎なき花よ
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
なぁ友よ 壁のない暁に逢おう

Requiem of the Dawn

Why did the earth and the sky divide?
The world is ruthless yet beautiful
Between those who throw stones and those who get hit
There is an invisible barrier
Change positions and justice bares its fangs
Who is really roaring within the cage?

My heart devoted to the twilight that cannot be undone
I walk through the night, but where is paradise?
Requiem, Requiem
Flowers that have fallen in this night, so unknown
I pray that you will rest peacefully at dawn.

Dawn and twilight, holding the same lonely color
The shadow of a passing bird, etched into the earth
Between those who disregard wills and those disregarded
There is an impenetrable wall.
If one seeks the truth, the world will collapse
I look up at the sky from within my cage. Is this what you call "freedom"?

My bouquet, an empty promise I cannot keep
I walk on, but paradise grows further away

Requiem, Requiem
Ephemeral flowers scattered in this night
I pray that you will rest peacefully at dawn.
In search of "true freedom,"
If something is taken from me,
I will, in turn, take back what was taken from me.
Drawing my bow with deadly intent,

The world is simple, yet baffling,
Repeating the same tragedy over and over

Requiem, Requiem
Flowers of innocence, lost in this night
May you find peace in the dawn.
And if we ever speak again,
When the cycle of cause and effect is broken,
My friend, may we meet at a dawn without walls.
