[Intro Instrumental]

[Narration Intro]
(“I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord’s wrath.”)

[Verse 1]
苦しみの中で
魂は裂けた
光は遠く
暗闇が覆い
祈りは届かず
その手は閉ざされ

In the midst of suffering
My soul was torn apart
The light is distant
Darkness has covered me
My prayers go unheard
And His hand is closed

[Narration, Pre-chorus]
(He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light;)

[Chorus]
壁に閉じ込められて
鎖に繋がれて
声はかき消され
苦しみ続ける

Imprisoned behind walls
Bound in chains
My voice is erased
I continue to suffer

[Instrumental Break]
(...indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.)

[Verse 2]
ただひとしずくの
光を求めて
道は曲がり
足元は重く
耳を塞がれ
闇が深まる

Just a single drop
Of light I seek
The path twists
My steps grow heavy
My ears are shut
And the darkness deepens

[Narration]
(He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones.)

[Chorus]
壁に閉じ込められて
鎖に繋がれて
声はかき消され
苦しみ続ける

Imprisoned behind walls
Bound in chains
My voice is erased
I continue to suffer

[Instrumental Break]
(He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.)

[Bridge]
He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
He has walled me in so I cannot escape;
he has weighed me down with chains.
Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.

[Chorus]
壁に閉じ込められて
鎖に繋がれて
声はかき消され
苦しみ続ける

Imprisoned behind walls
Bound in chains
My voice is erased
I continue to suffer

[Narration Outro]
(He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked.)
-Lamentation 3:1-9
