English Adapted Lyrics

----------------------------------
Everybody in this world, without any uncertainty,
Hides a heart filled with darkness,
And somehow it occurs that the mind of misery,
Prevents a life of willingness.

We cannot rightly experience the anguish of someone else,
And so cannot comprehend it's depth of roots.
But if I ever meet someone whose freedom I wish to achieve,
I don't want to be paralyzed with fear.

With a thunderous noise filled with utmost violence,
You have slammed shut the door of your heart,
And have gone and lost the key.
With your plain, ordinary words, and such commonplace explanations,
Though you think that you can hide yourself, I say that you've entirely failed,
They show you to me.

Even the very concept of allowing yourself to believe,
Invisible things bearing no form,
May appear daunting, but if you are able to succeed,
Don't you agree that such is wonderful?

Even when your being is threatening to give way,
And it's fragments will escape into the bleak night,
You shouldn't stand alone in weakness and resignation,
And blankly smile and admit 'such is life.'

Tell me of the existence of that immortal living one,
Who has achieved all he ever wanted, with no sacrifices paid.
There is something that I have lost, and for which I passionately long,
But no matter how strong my desire grows, I can never obtain it again.
This thing, you have it.
