いきのこり●ぼくら / We the Survivors

Gaze to gaze
By the light of rainclouds
We've finally arrived
At this big old wooden house

Wasn't it scary until
We made it through the long tunnel?
We've collapsed in relief

Our soles are filthy —
Have we hurt ourselves?
It hurts a bit
But it's hard to tell
Which is my blood

Atop the great mountain
How precious is life
Curled up together
I clasp your warmth close to me

At the foot of the great mountain
Lies the land of the dead
They gaze up at us
And launch orbs of light
In my duffle bag
Are three days of clothing
And her photograph
I wonder if she's in tears
Now somewhere
I wonder if she's laughing

They push a fresh corpse
Down the ravine
The birds waste no time
Attacking it with its beaks
Carrying it skyward

Just an everyday scene
This is life from now on
We'd better get used to it

We, the survivors
