Onigokko (A Game of Tag) by PaRADEiS
Take my hand Would you like to play?
Just the two of us, as the sky grows dark
One, two, and I close my eyes
Trace the number of times You thought of running away
Will you come out?
Even if you hide in the deepest darkness
I won't let you escape
Only you can appease me, only you can satisfy me
That hair, that skin... I was dying to touch it
Hey, don't be afraid Hey, do not fear
Look, here is eternal silence
Scattering decayed flowers gather
Through a crack in your hiding place I found you
Facing the mirror There's a reflected silhouette
Who stands behind you?*
Hey, show me your smile Hey, show me your smile
That lovely face now dyed red
So that there is no suffering So that there is no pain
Quietly laughing** as we played I gently killed you
It was so maddening
I'd dreamt of this moment
Decorating the body I'll caress you
So you won't run away anymore, right?
Only you can appease me, only you can satisfy me
That hair, that skin... I was dying to touch it
Hey, don't be afraid Hey, do not fear
Look, here is eternal silence
* This line is from a children's game called
Kagome, Kagome.
** "laughing" is written in the lyrics, but not sung.
