Shinka Mako - Realism on the Battlefield

This is an insert song from the anime 'Saga of Tanya the Evil'. I absolutely love this song; the melody is so gentle, but the lyrics depict the cruelty of war. I recommend it to everyone! Lyrics Translation: My frozen, frail body trembles Not from fear, but from the passion that has solidified Amidst the roaring thunder, cries vanish with the strong wind As if I can see the afterimage of a dream in that smoke-filled sky Sadness, loneliness, everything is already numb Only a withering husk remains Ah, love, despondency, all that's left is numbness That body will turn to ashes in the raging fire Answer me, answer me, oh shining future This reality, with just a thread of life remaining Will be offered to this capricious world Bone-chilling sweat beads trickle down my pale back The wreckage of the steel giant bird seems to still cry out A sorrowful, lonely, fearful dawn The world changed its face in an instant Ah, emotions, passions, all that's left is cruel indifference That body will turn to ashes before it sees tomorrow's dawn Answer me, answer me, oh beautiful future Now, I will grasp it tightly with this hand The wind says, is there anything more bewildering than all this? Then, pick up your weapon, pick up your weapon Discard hypocrisy, pick up your weapon Pull the trigger on your weak self Ah, love, peace, all that's left is numbness Broken walls and limbs weep silently, without tears Tomorrow, oh tomorrow, beautiful future Now, I will grasp it tightly with this hand Ah, love, despondency, all that's left is numbness
