When the Cicadas Cry Ending Theme Lyrics

Aaa...
+
To get my happiness I had done everything,
+
but had done nothing to be blamed and accused of.
+
The sound of footsteps became louder every day,
+
Then I noticed the fact there was not time.
+
I was a believer in life to be myself always,
+
and was asking whether I would be alive.
+
Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way,
+
or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins.
+
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
+
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me.
+
The whole world was at a complete standstill,
+
and I was in fetters, at the mercy of the mob.
+
The silent warning became louder every day,
+
Then I kept pretending not to hear.
+
The meaning had been in the eyes of the beholder all along.
+
It had grown dark before I found a sign.
+
"Among the nonsense tragedies, what on earth you are looking for?
+
You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate."
+
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
+
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me.
+
There is nobody who knows there will be nobody.
+
Except for me, all the world has gone mad.
+
So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold?
+
What is the well-being you are willing to make?
+
Now what? So what? Don't you come interrupt me, oh please, while I am interrupting myself.
+
Aaa...
+
