When They Cry (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni)

(albüm: Nostalgia II - 2017)

I turn and I see there's nothing behind me
(But who's in front?)
Raising my hands up
My claws meet the night sky
(And I tear at the darkness)

Rainfall's dripping down my face
As the water turns a pure shade of blood
Before my very eyes
There's no no place for me
And I know, that there is no going back

Take away what's left of me
Every drop of blood I bleed
And I will take your hand
With your fingers still attached
In the forest of your mind
Where all the cicadas hide
Know when you hear them cry
There is no going back

They are extinguished
Each one in succession
(These flames of blue)
Off in the distance
Beyond total darkness
(Where the sun never rises)

Deep within the mirror's edge
Many hands are desperate to break away
They're reaching out to you
To cure their loneliness
Won't you lure another soul deep down here?

Will you come away with me?
While I sing this melody
Don't even try to escape
It's a game of tag, we'll play
Every single trace of you
I will come to capture you
Where the cicadas cry
Only silence remains

Take away what's left of me
Every drop of blood I bleed
And I will take your hand
With your fingers still attached
In the forest of your mind
Where all the cicadas hide
Know when you hear them cry
There is no going back

Will you come away with me?
While I sing this melody
Don't even try to escape
It's a game of tag, we'll play
Every single trace of you
I will come to capture you
Where the cicadas cry
Only silence remains
