Higurashi no Naku Koro niBehind where I looked back; (Who's in the front?) In the dark, I raised my claws (and slashed apart the night)
The raindrops turn into droplets of blood and travel down my cheeks If no place for me to return to exist anywhere anymore
Take these fingers, my fingers I'll take all of your fingers away To the unopenable forest where cicadas cry I can't turn back anymore
Being made to disappear one by one; (the blue flames) On the other side of the dark, (the morning won't come anymore)
Inside the mirror, with countless wriggling and stretching hands Come on, lure someone here
Oni-san, come here, to where my hands sound No matter how you'll get away, I'll capture you From the animal trail where cicadas cry The voice that I heard is no more
Take these fingers, my fingers I'll take all of your fingers away To the unopenable forest where cicadas cry I can't turn back anymore
Oni-san, come here, to where my hands sound No matter how you'll get away, I'll capture you From the animal trail where cicadas cry The voice that I heard is no more
