----------

The wind embedded with agate
twining closely about your face
blood begins to run in reverse
and I'm going towards the soundless night

The rain began to beat down and you melted
quietly flowing
like drops of the moon

If the days merely repeat
shall we see if we can erase the now?
disappearing like like the ingredients of a picture
and a fairy's bronzes

The rain began to beat down and you melted
quietly flowing
like drops of the moon

Poison Rain you wait for death and shallow sleep
Poison Rain I'm growing haggard, this rain is a drug

The rain began to beat down and you melted
quietly flowing
like drops of the moon

Poison Rain you wait for death and shallow sleep
Poison Rain I'm growing haggard, this rain is a drug

Poison Rain you wait for death and shallow sleep
Poison Rain I'm growing haggard, this rain is a drug . . .

menou wo umekonda kaze wa

Poison Rain boku wa yatsurete iku ame wa mayaku . . .

メノウを　埋め込んだ風は
顔にまとわり　離れない
逆さに　血は流れはじめ
音も無い　夜に向かうよ

雨に打たれ始め　あなたは解けだし
静かに流れていく　月の雫のように

繰り返すだけの　日々なら
今を　消し去ってみようか
絵の貝のように消えて行く
妖精の　ブロンズ達も

雨に打たれ始め　あなたは解けだし
静かに流れていく　月の雫のように

Poison Rain あなたは死を持って　浅い眠りと
Poison Rain 僕はやつれていく　雨は麻薬

雨に打たれ始め　あなたは解けだし
静かに流れていく　月の雫のように

Poison Rain あなたは死を待って　浅い眠りと
Poison Rain 僕はやつれていく　雨は麻薬

Poison Rain あなたは死を待って　浅い眠りと
Poison Rain 僕はやつれていく　雨は麻薬
