Deep Red¹ Sky
[Lyrics: Miya; music: Satochi]

Vanishing, far off in the sky, a deep red falling star
Listen closely to the wind and the scarlet star’s crying

Even if you followed it, you would lose your way
Smiling faces are fleeting tears are cold

Deep red clouds covering the deeply wounded heart and flowing away
How how tiny they are
Towards tomorrow towards tomorrow they advance

Even if you followed them, you would lose your way
Biting back tears, enduring sadness

Goodbye today’s sun finally you go down
Goodbye sadness until the day we meet again

Autumn sky our footprints turn into shadows and burn
A red dragonfly landing on your shoulder the wind is set free
The deep red sky has told me to stay strong, strong
How much you cried in this life isn’t important keep it to yourself and live on
My voice has finally become a song which reaches out
To your place
