Ai Senshi Lyrics

Grief, trembling grief
That is a song of parting
Even the tired bones burn away
Even the dampened flesh returns to dust
Running through the wilderness, the line of death gods
Warp darkly and burn bright red

Grief, the grief of living
The color of blood is left on the earth
Are they beginning a new time,
The surviving soldiers of grief?
Running through the wilderness, the line of death gods
Warp darkly and burn bright red

The dying men
To the women they should protect
The dying women
To the men they love

What do they write to them? What do they leave them?
I pray, pray to bring near the new day

Grief, the grief of sadness
Now it's all that's left
Shooting unnamed soldiers
Surviving, they cough up blood
The line of death gods is like the wind
The means to defy them are not in our hands

The dying men
To the women they should protect
The dying women
To the men they love

The fighting men
To the women at home
The fighting women
To the men who believe in them

What do they write to them? What do they leave them?
I pray, pray to bring near the new day
