KANJI
AFTER LIGHT
Into this hole I sink
Nowhere to run for cover
It's trying to bury me
But I will not surrender
We will never be the same again
答えは苦痛の先に
From the dark
We walk to the light
From the shadows
We learn to survive
When there's nothing to hide we will find
What comes next
After light
Destroy, rebuild
Now, now
I hear the angels sing
But I hear the demons louder
Destruction chasing me
Pulling me under
Pulling me under now
I'm dying to get out
We will never be the same again
From the dark
We walk to the light
From the shadows
We learn to survive
When there's nothing to hide we will find
What comes next
After light
Destroy, rebuild
Now, now
Destroy, rebuild
Now, now
答えは苦痛の先に
I found my way
From the dark
We walk to the light
From the shadows
We learn to survive
When there's nothing to hide we will find
What comes next
What comes next
From the dark
We walk to the light
From the shadows
We learn to survive
When there's nothing to hide we will find
What comes next
After light
We will never be the same again
