FALLOUT: JAPAN II (I Wait)

Verse 1

The radioactive rain falls down upon the paper screens

放射能の雨が障子に降り注いでいる

Black dust

I watch the cherry blossoms turn to gray and bitter ash

桜の花が灰になっていくのを見つめている

Nothing left

Chorus

Wait for me by the great stone gate

Wait for me where the river used to flow

Underneath a sky that turned to lead

Looking for a home that we once knew

Looking for a home that we once knew

Verse 2

My radio is singing songs from years so far away

古いラジオが遠い昔の歌を歌っている

Bitter wind

The mountain hides its face behind a veil of rolling fog

山が霧の中に顔を隠してしまった

Cold ground

I walk through empty shrines where silent bells refuse to ring

誰もいない神社で鳴らない鐘のそばを歩く

Chorus

Wait for me by the great stone gate

Wait for me where the river used to flow

Underneath a sky that turned to lead

Looking for a home that we once knew

Looking for a home that we once knew

Bridge

Maybe the ocean will wash the heavy salt away

Maybe the sun will find a path through the dark

Maybe the birds will return to the pine trees

I wait

I watch

I hope

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

The wooden sandals click against the cracked and broken road

下駄の音がひび割れた道に響いている

Shadows grow

I carry memories like water in a leaking jar

思い出を水のように運んでいる

Still moving

The morning brings a light that tastes of copper and of regret

朝の光は後悔の味がする

Chorus

Wait for me by the great stone gate

Wait for me where the river used to flow

Underneath a sky that turned to lead

Looking for a home that we once knew

Looking for a home that we once knew

Outro

The sun sets in the west

Everything is quiet now

Everything is gone

Goodbye

さようなら
