Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
ko no e ni musubi wo sadame to tokifusu
ayumi ni tou mi wo gisei to yukisou

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
Fate woven into tree branches now unravel
To walk the path towards "The Answer" you must make sacrifices

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
koroai yomu me mo chigai no aya utsu
kumite ni utsu se to asagi e toku ho'o

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
Now to unravel the secrets that lie in the pattern of this twill
To attack with your opponent's back turned is the greatest injustice

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
toma e yorisou shizuku no ori ni nagare-ochi yuku naga no miyako
fumi ni kui oru isei ga yuen ni fuchi de uremusu asa no kiito

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
We will nestle on a woven mat as water drips down from our cage, our eternal metropolis
I weave regret into these words, it's the way of life in this world, we're on the brink of fruition, flaxen thread in hand

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
misuji no ikutose karinui emitosu
kareyou ka mo to e tobari mo suku koto

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
Years in the city, basting a smile onto my face
Drunken flowers wither away as a koto harp fills the silence

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
kazoe oru e wo ibara to mo yomu tatoe kuchiyo mo atae kayou
konoe tsuku me no iwao to nasou tate to hokorobu hari no mushiro

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
Always weaving, unraveling the secrets of the thorns, if the night rots away, grant me a blossom
The haunting eyes of Imperial Guards will turn you to stone, tearing the weave apart at the seams, on a bed of needles

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
toma e yorisou shizuku no ori ni nagare-ochi yuku naga no miyako
fumi ni kui oru isei ga yuen ni fuchi de uremusu asa no kiito

Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
We will nestle on a woven mat as water drips down from our cage, our eternal metropolis
I weave regret into these words, it's the way of life in this world, we're on the brink of fruition, flaxen thread in hand
