Calendula Requiem

Lyrics & Music: kanon
Arrangement: Keiichi Wakui, kanon & Naoki Chiba

A flower that released the morning light
Wants rain that won't pour down
And falls into a wakeless sleep

A voice softly calls someone
Is the paradise of darkness
A lie or a dream?
My body that's lost
And my heart known as "self"
Presenting that compensation
What will I be given?

This life is fragile and transient enough
To rob tears out of you
Is death
That visits everything
Mourned over as "fear"?

The calendula that sings the end of the show
Is quietly in full bloom
Hatred
Sadness
Are taken into its roots
The calendula that sings the end of the show
Enriches loneliness
It wants rain that won't pour down
And falls into a wakeless sleep

A moan tears up my memories
Tonight's love and hates
The past and present
Are disarranged by the vain waves
My timid soul
Wonders what I'll be able to see
On the outskirts I'll struggle to

These betraying words are too numerous
To completely defend myself with both hands
Some time ago
I believe in the love I saw
I want to live through the moment

The calendula that sings the end of the show
Is quietly in full bloom
Love
Romance
Are wrapped up in its leaves
The calendula that sings the end of the show
Enriches loneliness
It wants rain that won't pour down
And falls into a wakeless sleep

If one day the time comes when my hopes and despair become "nothing"
I'll notice the whereabouts of truth

Living is painful
But I still want to be here
The noise that jars my heart
Is the evidence that I'm still alive

Even if I become lonely

The calendula that sings the end of the show
Is quietly in full bloom
Hatred
Sadness
Are taken into its roots
The calendula that sings the end of the show
Enriches loneliness
It wants rain that won't pour down
And falls into a wakeless sleep

So that this flower doesn't wither
It breathes in the food of the earth it goes against
The requiem of a funeral sounds out
It melts in the dry wind
