NAGORIZUKI

名残月 

Nagorizuki
Morning Moon

KANJI 

名残月
何故照らす嘆きの荒野を
千年の誓い　秘めたる渇き
名残月
何故暴く　抜き身の傷を
千年の誓い　秘めたる孤独
鞘を持たぬこの体
しんしんと
しんしんと
碧き光が突き刺さる
しんしんと
しんしんと

TRANSLATION 

Morning moon,

why do you shine upon this wasteland of grief and longing 

hidden within that everlasting promise we made?

Morning moon,

why do you uncover the faults of this naked sword 

and the loneliness hidden within that everlasting promise we made?

Our unsheathed bodies are

Sharply, sharply.

pierced by your pale light.

Sharply, sharply.
