I'm walking in the rain
行くあてもなく 傷ついた体濡らし
絡みつく 凍りのざわめき
殺し続けて 彷徨う いつまでも
Until I can forget your love

眠りは麻薬
途方にくれた 心を静かに溶かす
舞い上がる 愛を踊らせて
ふるえる身体を 記憶の薔薇につつむ
I keep my love for you to myself

Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness

Day of joy, days of sadness slowly pass me by
As I try to hold you, you are vanishing before me
You're just an illusion
When I'm awaken, my tears have dried in the sand of sleep
I'm a rose blooming in the desert

It's a dream, I'm in love with you
まどろみ抱きしめて

Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness

I awake from my dream
I can't find my way without you

The dream is over
声にならない 言葉を繰り返しても
高すぎる灰色の壁は
過ぎ去った日の思いを夢に写す
Until I can forget your love

Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness

Endless rain, let me stay evermore in your heart
Let my heart take in your tears, take in your memories

Endless rain, fall on my heart 心の傷に
Let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness
