勇者

Like a fairy tale
Proof of reaching the end
From a journey too long
A passage cut out

It was once on this land
The shadow of evil fell
With the hero who vanquished it
A short journey's memory

The story ends
The hero falls asleep
Leaving peaceful everyday life
On this land
Flow of time mercilessly
Makes people forget
Even the traces of life there
Rust away

Still, your
Words, wishes, courage
Even now, surely alive inside me

Chose the same path
That's all it should have been
But somehow, why
I want to know more about the reason for the tears down my cheeks
Even now
If I trace the journey we walked together
Even if you're not there
Surely I can find it

(And we begin, right to the story)
(Out to meet people in this journey)
(So hurry up, our chase will go on forever)
(Ever, ever, ask for how long)

The story continues
Set out on a solo journey
In towns I visit,
In memories of people I meet, you remain
Still a kind-hearted person
Always trying to look cool
The symbols you made here and there
Proof of the peace you won
Even that
In the future someday
So I won't be alone
So I can remember that journey
Left markings

Like a fairy tale
Proof of reaching the end
The encounter that changed me
One hundredth of a journey

Someday, your courage
Even if the wind carries it away
And it disappears from everyone's memory
I'll take it to the future
I took your hand

That day it all began
So trivial
I can't help but smile
Ordinary time is still dazzling
I want to know
Even now
When I look back, there's always
You gently smiling

(And we begin, right to the story)
(Out to meet people in this journey)
(So hurry up, the end of hero forever)
(Ever, ever, ask for how long)

The start of a new journey
With the life sprouted on this land
That you protected to the end
