Lyrics

Furimuita sono ushiro no (Shoumen daare?)	Behind where I looked back (Who's in the front?)
Kurayami ni tsume o tatete (yoru o hikisaita)	In the dark, I sank in my nails (and tore apart the night)
Amadare wa chi no shizuku to natte hoho o tsutai ochiru	The raindrops turn into droplets of blood and travel down my cheeks
Mou doko ni mo kaeru basho ga nai nara	If there's no place for me to return to anywhere anymore
Kono yubi tomare watashi no yubi ni	Take these fingers, my fingers
Sono yubi goto tsurete tte ageru	I'll take you away with all of your fingers
Higurashi ga naku akazu no mori e	To the unopened forest where cicadas cry
Atomodori wa mou dekinai	I can't turn back anymore
Hitori-zutsu kesarete yuku (aoi honoo)	Being extinguished one by one (the blue flames)
Kurayami no sono mukou ni (asa wa mou konai)	Beyond the darkness (the morning won’t come anymore)
Kagami no naka de ugomeki nobashite kuru musuu no te de	Inside the mirror, with countless wriggling hands reaching out
Saa dareka o koko e izanai nasai	Come on, lure someone here
Oni-san kochira te no naru hou e	Oni-san, come here, to where my hands clap
Donna ni nigete mo tsukamaete ageru	No matter how you flee, I'll capture you
Higurashi ga naku kemonomichi kara	From the animal trail where cicadas cry
Kikoete ita koe wa mou nai	The voice that I heard is no more
Kono yubi tomare watashi no yubi ni	Take these fingers, my fingers
Sono yubi goto tsurete tte ageru	I'll take you away with all of your fingers
Higurashi ga naku akazu no mori e	To the unopened forest where cicadas cry
Atomodori wa mou dekinai	I can't turn back anymore
Oni-san kochira te no naru hou e	Oni-san, come here, to where my hands clap
Donna ni nigete mo tsukamaete ageru	No matter how you flee, I'll capture you
Higurashi ga naku kemonomichi kara	From the animal trail where cicadas cry
Kikoete ita koe wa mou nai	The voice that I heard is no more
