Gensou no Hana...

This is a beautiful song by BUCK-TICK. Here are the lyrics translated into English...

Gensou no Hana (Illusory Flower)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

Sing to me of an illusory flower
You tell me the world is beautiful
And that saying so is a foolish dream
And you laugh happily

Sing to me of an illusory flower
Blooming in this world in profusion
You say that’s a romantic dream,
And you laugh joyfully

There is only one sweet truth, and then reality shows through
Spread flowers, spread flowers all over

You set fire to this life blooming out of season
You’re dreaming while it shimmers
The thought that this world is beautiful
Is surely blooming, in my heart

Sing to me of an illusory flower
You tell me the world is beautiful
And it’s a wonderful dream,
And you laugh like you’re crazy

You swallow the sweet honey, and then you’re dyed with pain
Spread flowers, spread flowers all over

You set fire to this life blooming out of season
You’re dreaming while it shimmers
The thought that this world is beautiful
Is surely blooming, in my heart

You tear apart the beautiful flower petals
Tomorrow thrusts into my fingers that have touched the truth

You set fire to this life blooming out of season
You’re blooming while it shimmers
As I sing that this world is beautiful
I’m truly blossoming

You set fire to this life blooming out of season
You’re blooming while it shimmers
As I shout that this world is beautiful
I’m truly blossoming
