最後の巨人 (Saigo no Kyojin) Lyrics English Translation by Linked Horizon
Desiring something, the outstretched hand is dyed by twilight,
Wanting to go somewhere, with hastened steps,
Someone was trampled upon.
(The Last Titan)
Like an arrow released from a bow,
The slave who dreamt of freedom
Bids farewell to countless “hearts”
And turns into a crimson bird.
The path strewn with corpses
Follows the conflicts and crosses the seas,
Still moving forward
While shaking the earth.
In the twilight’s horizon, like taking root,
Waiting for someone—
We’re not slaves, we’ve been free from the moment we were born,
Putting on airs, living in fiction.
Until the truth becomes reality,
Try to suffocate us,
Justice only through words won’t reach us.
The ones who “broke down the walls” will keep moving forward!
In this cruel world within the walls,
No matter where we try to escape,
Chased by the setting sun, our wings torn off,
We wait and long for the dawn’s poetry.
Sometimes, we go beyond the name of love,
Taming shock and despair,
Even if we’re just called demons,
We wanted to be under the same tree.
But if it’s just youthful sentiment, then accept it and swallow it.
If you want to level the forests all over the world,
You have to cut down that tree.
The distant pain born from people’s wishes,
Transcending eras, sins revolve.
So, “I’m the only one who’s wrong… that’s enough,”
The last giant could only scream alone.
In dreams that embraced the past,
Meeting and parting repeated in cycles.
What kind of flowers will bloom in your spring a thousand years from now?
We’re not companions, we’ve been alone from the moment we were born,
Speaking falsehoods and cloaking ourselves in fiction, until we make our advance an invasion.
You all should come out of the forest, no matter how many times you get lost on the way,
Until we are rewarded, we will keep moving forward,
So carry this sin with you without forgiveness.
“And he drove the giants from this world.”
