Japanese Rōmaji[]
Sora akaku someru kokutan no yami
Nomikomareta hoshikuzu-tachi
Hakanaku furitsumoru hai no yuki
Mitsumeta nageki no mado
I never dreamed
Kooritsuku
There… I come for you
Omoi wa sekibaku no yozora ni
Maiagari kudaketa
Kono sekai ga katachi wo kaeru tabi ni
Mamoritai mono wo
Kowashite shimatteitan da
Kokoro ni hishimeku haitoku no yami
Kimi no koe ga masui no youni
Tsumetaku kankaku wo ubatteku
Mujun wo oikakete mo
Owaranai
Naze boku wa tatakau no?
Tatoeba hikari ga kieusete
Kono hoshi ga ochite mo
Wasurenai yo
Sono chiisana negai ga
Aru beki basho eto michibiku
There I come for you yeah
Ash Like Snow
Is falling down from your sky
Ash Like Snow
Let me hear…
Why I have to fight?
Kono omoi wa sekibaku no yozora ni
Maiagari kudaketa
Yami wo hiraku eikou to hikikae ni
Mamoru beki mono wo ushinatte kita
(It’s falling from your sky)
Munashisugiru
(Baby I come for you)
Kudakechitta kakera ni kizutsuku tabi

English Translation[]
The sky is dyed red by the ebony darkness,
And the distant stardust swallowed up,
In this transient moment as the snowing ashes fall.
I watched it through the window of grief.
I never dreamed
I stand frozen.
there… I come for you.
My hopes were alone in the desolate night sky,
They soared high until they were crushed.
Each time the world changes shape,
The things I want to protect,
I end up breaking them.
Oh, the sinful darkness tugging at my heartstrings,
Your voice is like anaesthesia,
Coldly, it robs me of my senses.
No matter how we pursue our differences,
It never ends.
Why do I have to fight?
Even if the light is extinguished,
Even if this earth disintegrates,
I won’t ever forget:
That tiny wish,
It will guide us to our ideal place.
there I come for you yeah
Ash Like Snow
is falling down from your sky
Ash Like Snow
Let me hear…
why I have to fight?
My hopes were alone in the desolate night sky,
They soared high until they were crushed.
In exchange for glory that triumphs over darkness,
I have given up many things I sought to protect.
(It’s falling from your sky)
This is too futile.
(Baby I come for you)
Every time the scattered broken pieces cut me,
Deep down in my closed heart,
I choose to grow stronger.
And I came this far.
