真珠は煌めいて　いつの日か零れゆく
震える指先で　祈りを灯すまま…

荒れ果てた海に立ち尽くし
響き渡るのは　無常を告げる波音
祈るだけならば　救われはしないと
運命は深く　胸に刻まれた

真珠は煌めく　いつの日か落ちるなら
振り向く余裕さえ　波間に消えてゆく
幼さゆえの甘さと　結ばれぬ指先が
朧に霞んだ月に　引き裂かれてゆく

眩い栄華など
幻だと　鐘のねが響く
沈んでゆく　都の果てに
揺れる幻は　瞼(まぶた)を離れない

真珠は輝く　消えない想いがまだ
胸の奥で揺れては　儚く燃えている
涙を落としても　逃れゆく術もなく
あなたは遠ざかり　祈りも届かない

歪(ゆが)んだ光を　まだ抱いたまま
届かぬ岸辺へ　漕ぎ出すように
戻れないことは　わかっているけど
この闇　乗り越える

深い海の果てに　静かに堕ちたなら
栄華の記憶さえ　波間に溶けてゆく
傷ついた願いを　この胸に抱けば
祈りはいつしか　鎮魂(しずめ)に変わりゆく
帰らぬ人々(ひと)を　ただ慈しんで

真珠は煌めく　いつかは砕け散る
束の間の煌めきに　命を灯して
まだ泣けるなら　まだ叫べ
光を抱えつつ　闇を燃やして

波間に沈む魂よ　静かに目を閉じて
帰らぬ安息に　還るが如く…


[------------English Lyrics--------------]
The pearl shines so brightly, but someday it slips away
My trembling fingertips hold onto prayers fading into the dark

Standing by the raging shore,
All I've learned is that wishing alone can't save us
Bearing this burden deeply etched inside,
Is this sorrow the fate I must carry in my heart?

If pearls must fall one day into the sea,
Then even turning back is a luxury washed away.
Childish dreams, gentle illusions, fingers never bound,
Torn apart beneath the haze of a fading moonlight.

Glory, shining brightly—
Yet nothing but an illusion, echoed by the tolling bell.
As the city sinks beneath waves of despair,
Your silhouette lingers on, burned into my memory.

The pearl still shines, holding onto memories in silence;
Deep within my heart, a fragile flame still flickers.
Even as tears fall, there's nowhere left to run,
You drift farther away, beyond the reach of my prayer.

Holding onto this twisted ray of light,
Rowing toward a shore I’ll never reach.
Knowing there’s no way to return,
Yet determined to overcome this darkness.

If I gently hold this broken wish in my chest,
Sinking toward the ocean's deepest, cold embrace,
Even memories wounded deeply turn from prayers
To quiet songs of farewell, of peaceful release,
Cherishing you now—forever gone beyond my grasp.

Pearls still shine, yet someday they'll shatter—
A fleeting spark where I set my life ablaze.
Though tears fall, though cries won’t cease,
I hold this darkened heart, still burning bright.
For even grief becomes proof of life.

Souls drift slowly downward, lost beneath waves,
Closing tired eyes in silent serenity,
Returning now to the peace they'll never leave again...
