"icon" lyrics
(from "KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS" soundtrack)
Where you now?
Wash away this day of hurt
But your bleeding scars remind you of that barricade
Tell me how you keep your focus and are intent
Although the crowds' memories must be decayed
Some little ironies called tragedies so silently
And you face their gravity in agony though
Don't be afraid
The daybreak has come and there's no curtain to call
No regrets are needed among the world of you and I
You know we have made every damn single mistake
That's what it's all about, the life we belong
Where you now?
Have you stripped your spirit down?
Cause we made you so, to be our lethal grenade
Here I am praying for your peace and now
Won't you hear me like a confessy serenade?
Some little ironies called tragedies so silently
And you face their gravity in agony though
Don't be afraid
The daybreak has come and there's no curtain to call
No regrets are needed among the world of you and I
You know we have made every damn single mistake
That's what it's all about, the life we belong
Hearts bruise easily
How much strength our bodies have achieved
Won't you please forgive yourself?
And then tears will go above the sky
So sob bitterly in my arms
Just let go selfishly
You don't have to feel your guilt
That you walk ahead of your hope
Don't be afraid
The daybreak has come and there's no curtain to call
No regrets are needed among the world of you and I
You know we have made every damn single mistake
That's what it's all about, the life we survive
Don't be afraid, daybreak has come
Wash away this day of hurt
But your bleeding scars remind you of that barricade
Tell me how you keep your focus and are intent
Although the crowds' memories must be decayed
Some little ironies called tragedies so silently
And you face their gravity in agony though
Don't be afraid
The daybreak has come and there's no curtain to call
No regrets are needed among the world of you and I
You know we have made every damn single mistake
That's what it's all about, the life we belong
Where you now?
Have you stripped your spirit down?
Cause we made you so, to be our lethal grenade
Here I am praying for your peace and now
Won't you hear me like a confessy serenade?
Some little ironies called tragedies so silently
And you face their gravity in agony though
Don't be afraid
The daybreak has come and there's no curtain to call
No regrets are needed among the world of you and I
You know we have made every damn single mistake
That's what it's all about, the life we belong
Hearts bruise easily
How much strength our bodies have achieved
Won't you please forgive yourself?
And then tears will go above the sky
So sob bitterly in my arms
Just let go selfishly
You don't have to feel your guilt
That you walk ahead of your hope
Don't be afraid
The daybreak has come and there's no curtain to call
No regrets are needed among the world of you and I
You know we have made every damn single mistake
That's what it's all about, the life we survive
Don't be afraid, daybreak has come
