Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies I wonder when it has begun... How far do I have to go to see the light? Stars in your eyes Stars in your heart You will live in shadow of shade and commit the eighth sin Unrequited existence will turn everything into nothing
Long Version[]
Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies I wonder when it has begun... How far do I have to go to see the light? Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies I wonder when it has begun... How far do I have to go to see the light? You will live in shadow of shade and commit the eighth sin I wonder when it has begun... How far do I have to go to see the light? Stars in your eyes Stars in your heart Stars in your eyes Stars in your heart Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies I wonder when it has begun... How far do I have to go to see the light? You will live in shadow of shade and commit the eighth sin Unrequited existence will turn everything into nothing You will live in shadow of shade and commit the eighth sin I wonder when it has begun... How far do I have to go to see the light?

Until now what you know does exist With your fingertips follow the path of the dirty dark sky At the end of the bright road, what is waiting for you? take you to harmony but you don't know The hatred that was given birth to in you has taken stars and it turned it into poison which is killing you silently

Song Production Information[]
Tatsh[]
A song conceived within my world, further expanded by the designer MAYA's MOVIE.
Next, I'd like you to further expand this world called "Xepher" by playing it.
That's why I gave the first letter of this song title "X", which means "the unknown".
I asked platoniX's JunkoHirata and Yumi Natori from the gospel world to participate in this choir. By all means, please also pay attention to their voices.
