Lyrics
Verse 1
足跡も残らぬ道、
夕靄に包まれた坂道、
鈴の音、響くけど、
私の名は誰も呼ばない
Verse 2
赤い灯の下、子らの声、
母の歌が夜に溶け、
手を振ろうとするたびに、
声のない風になる
Pre-Chorus
かつては下駄で舞った日々、
今はただ、傷も音もない
この狐面の下には、
忘れられた、顔と名と夢
Chorus
息があれば、君を呼ぶ
涙あれば、雨になろう
笑顔の君を遠く見て、
私も笑う、灰の中で
白い影、叶わぬ願い、
祈りの跡に、立ち尽くす
Verse 3
朝の風に、鯉が泳ぐ
手を伸ばしても、触れられず
供えられた小さな灯、
頭を下げる、誰も見えず
Pre-Chorus
通りに灯る提灯の列、
無音の足で、後ろを歩く
この面に宿るぬくもりは、
子守唄と、消えた七月
Chorus
息があれば、君を呼ぶ
涙あれば、雨になろう
月の下、踊りに混じり、
消える前に、ただ一度
白い影、叶わぬ願い、
祈りの中に、耳を澄ます
Bridge
「見えてるの……?」
門のそばで、君を待った
時を越え、私は残る
Final Chorus
命あれば、この一日
笑い、泣いて、また眠ろう
一礼、一抱き、一つの光
星の下で、今度こそ
白い影、さまようことなく、
花のそばに、面を残して
Outro
微風と鈴の音、静かに消える

Verse 1
A path where no footprints remain
A slope wrapped in the haze of dusk
The sound of shrine bells softly rings
But no one ever calls my name
Verse 2
Under red lanterns, children's voices
My mother’s song dissolves into the night
Each time I try to wave my hand
I become a breeze with no sound
Pre-Chorus
Once, I danced in wooden sandals
Now, there are no wounds, no sounds
Beneath this quiet fox-shaped mask
Lie a forgotten face, a name, a dream
Chorus
If I had breath, I’d call to you
If I had tears, I’d turn to rain
I watch your smile from far away
And smile through ash, though not the same
A white shadow, a wish undone
I stand where old prayers still remain
Verse 3
In morning wind, the koi still swim
I reach, but nothing lets me in
A lantern left with tender care
I bow, unseen by anyone there
Pre-Chorus
A line of lanterns lights the street
I walk behind on silent feet
The warmth that lingers in this mask
Is lullabies, and lost July
Chorus
If I had breath, I’d call to you
If I had tears, I’d turn to rain
Beneath the moon, I’d join the dance
Just once before I fade again
A white shadow, a wish undone
Still listening to prayers in vain
Bridge
"Can you see me...?"
I waited by the temple gate
You passed through time, while I remained
Final Chorus
If I had life, just for a day
I'd laugh and cry, then sleep away
One bow, one hug, one final light
Beneath the stars, I’d leave tonight
A white shadow, no longer lost
My mask laid down beside the flowers
Outro
The breeze and bells fade into silence..
