Quietly swimming in the stardust
The celestial searchlights
Shattering my wings
The steel blade of a knife
How many times has died in an attack
And was once again reborn
My imperishable soul
I play again without the rules
And call upon myself
The fire, the fire
And that is all I know
I do not seek another role
Today I am just a player
I do not regret anything
Quietly swimming in the stardust
The celestial searchlights...
