Sitting at the door of darkness
Talking to myself,
this love will never die.

Searching for a trace in silence...
Hunting out the time
to let my soul to fly...

To break the chain of love
and hate to set us free again.

Ride the wind to get
to the land of joy.

When there's no fear,
no pain, you can fly like a bird.

Seize the day and get
to the land of joy.

Take me there, brand new dawn...
into the mirage of blaze.

Into the mirage of blaze.

Take me that way.
