Clock Strikes

English translation

Clock Strikes

What waits for you?

What waits for you?

What’s breaking through?

What's breaking through?

Nothing for good

Nothing for good

(You’re sure it’s true?)

(You're sure it's true?)

永遠なんてないと言い切ってしまったら

If we declare that there's no such thing as eternity,

あまりにも寂しくて切ないでしょ?

Wouldn't that be too sad to bear?

誰もが本当は信じたいけど

Everyone wants to believe it,

裏切られれば深く傷ついてしまうモノ

But we'd be cut too deep if it's true.

永遠(とおい)がある世界が理想ではなく

The world we should wish for

ソレを信じ、続けている姿

Is one where we know eternity isn't ideal,

それこそ僕らが望むべき世界

But we can keep going anyway.

と気付くことができたなら

Once we realize that,

What will we have?

What will we have?

Believe that time is always forever

Believe that time is always forever

And I’ll always be here

And I'll always be here

Believe it ’til the end

Believe it til the end

I won’t go away and won’t say never

I won't go away and I won't say never

It doesn’t have to be friend

It doesn't have to be friend

You can keep it ’til the end

You can keep it til the end

ためしに永遠なんてないと言い切ろう

Let's test it out

そしたら希望や夢はいくつ死ぬだろう

And declare that there's no such thing as forever.

ソレが存在しない事の絶望と

How many hopes and dreams will die

存在する事の残酷を想像してみて僕は少しまた

If we do that?

めくるページの手を止める

I slightly stop my hand from turning the page again

How will we have?

As I imagine the despair of non-existence,

Believe that time is always forever

Believe that time is always forever

And I’ll always be here

And I'll always be here

Believe it ’til the end

Believe it til the end

I won’t go away and won’t say never

I won't go away and I won't say never

It doesn’t have to be friend

It doesn't have to be friend

You can keep it ’til the end

You can keep it til the end

Believe that time is always forever

Believe that time is forever

And I’ll always be here

And I'll always be here

Believe it ’til the end

Believe it til the end

I won’t go away and won’t say never

I won't go away and I won't say never

It doesn’t have to be friend

It doesn't have to be friend

You can keep it ’til the end

You can keep it til the end
