This page is going to be used my me to showcase my very favorite song ever. It is called redemption, and it is by the one-man band, Gackt. The lyrics are in Japanese, but I know what they mean. This song was written for the character Vincent Valentine from the Final Fantasy series and was used in Vincent's videogame, Dirge of Cerberus.
Japanese
Shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo
what else can I do besides avenge you?
Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumete ita
Afureru kanashimi wa kese nai kizuato ni
Wasure wa shinai to chikatta
Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshsite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made
you told me
live as if you were to die tomorrow
feel as if you were to be reborn now
face as if you were to live forever
Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
Hakanai omoide ga yami ni ochite yuku
Saigo no hohoemi ga ukandewa kieru
Nukumori dake wo nokoshite
Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no bokuha iyase nai
Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake
Itsuka wa kono sora ni daremo ga kaeru kara
Wakare no kotoba wa ira nai
make it up
Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made
Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no bokuha iyase nai
Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake
REDEMPTION... REDEMPTION..
English
Your figure that returned to the Heaven
What else can I do besides avenge you?
I looked for it constantly until my tears went away
My sadness overflowed and I vowed
Never to forget the inerasable scar
I'll flap my broken wings
I'll erase it all someday for you
And then one day the end will come
When the last bell ringing the dirge is complete
you told me
live as if you were to die tomorrow
feel as if you were to be reborn now
face as if you were to live forever
With a trembling finger, I traced the red tears
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
Faint memories falling into the darkness
The final smile that fades away
The warmth is the only thing left.
Your kind words
cannot heal me now
For I have dedicated my body
to this never ending fight
Because everyone eventually returns to heaven
Parting words aren’t necessary
Make it up...
I'll flap my broken wings
I'll erase it all someday for you
And then one day the end will come
When the last bell ringing the dirge is complete
Your kind words
cannot heal me now
For I have dedicated my body
to this never ending fight
Redemption! Redemption!
(I'm sorry if I mistranslated this... I'm still learning japanese and it can be kinda confusing.
