X-japan – Kurenai (English Version) lyrics
Desert rose
Why do you live alone
If you are sad
I'll make you leave this life
Are you white, blue or bloody red
All I can see is
drowning in cold grey sand
The winds of time
You knock me to the ground
I'm dying of thirst
I wanna run away
I don't know how to set me free to live
My mind cries out feeling pain
I've been roaming to find myself
How long have I been
feeling endless hurt
Falling down, rain flows into my heart
In the pain I'm waiting for you
Can't go back
No place to go back to
Life is lost, flowers fall
If it's all dream, now wake me up
If it's all real, just kill me
ü
I'm making the wall inside my heart
I don't wanna let my emotions get out
It scares me to look at the world
Don't want to find myself
lost in your eyes
I tried to drown my past in grey
I never wanna feel more pain
Run away from you
without saying any words
What I don't wanna lose is love
Through my eyes
Time goes by like tears
My emotion's losing the color of life
Kill my heart
Release all my pain
I'm shouting out loud
Insanity takes hold over me
Turning away from the wall
Nothing I can see
The scream deep inside
reflecting another person in my heart
He calls me from within
"All existence you see before you
must be wipe out
Dream, reality, memories, and yourself"
ü
I begin to lose control of myself
My lust is so blind, destroys my mind
Nobody can stop
my turning to madness
No matter how you try to
hold me in your heart
Why do you wanna raise these walls
I don't know the meaning of hatred
My brain gets blown away
hearing words of lies
I only want to hold your love
Stab the dolls filled with hate
Wash yourself with their blood
Drive into the raging current of time
Swing your murderous weapon
into the belly the Earth
Shout and start creating confusion
Shed your blood for pleasure
And what for love
What am I supposed to do
I believe in the madness called now
Past and future prison my heart
Time is blind
But I wanna trace my love
on the wall of the time
over pain in my heart
Art of life
Insane blade stabbing dreams
Try to break all truth now
But I can't heal this broken heart in pain
Cannot start to live, cannot end my life
Keep on crying
ü
Close my eyes
Time breathes I can hear
All love and sadness melt in my heart
Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me
living my life outside my walls
You can't draw a picture of yesterday
So you're painting your heart
with your blood
You can't say no
Only turning the wheel of time
with a rope around your neck
You build a wall of morality and take
a breath from between the bricks
You make up imaginary enemies
And are chased by them
You're trying to commit suicide
You're satisfied with your prologue
Now you're painting
your first chapter black
You're putting the scraps of life together
And trying to make
an asylum for yourself
You're hitting a bell at the edge of stage
And you're trying to kill me
I believe in the madness called now
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live, can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for
Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live
Do I try to love in my dream
