Attack on Titan 1st Ending Theme – Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai

This Beautiful and Cruel World
Vocals: Hikasa Yoko
Lyrics: Mike Sugiyama
Composition: Ishizuka Rei
Arrangement: Negishi Takayuki

Your dream is where your heart is
It’s something more fragile than life itself
No matter how many times you throw it away, you still find it
So rest in peace now
Your wish is violated by your pulsing urge
and as much as you forget about it, you recall it again

In this beautiful and cruel world
We only ask “why” we’re still alive…
Ah, what are we going to protect
with our strength and weakness? If reason
no longer exists

That sky looks sad
Ashes and mirages rise up
You freeze in warm words
So rest in secret now
Your grief is hidden by fantasies sticking to you
and as much as it tears apart, it joins back together again

In this beautiful and cruel world
We only beg for death to “wait”…
Ah, we’re flightless weathercocks
We don’t know if the truth
is more beautiful than lies or not

If we are songs
Then we’ll raise the flags to that wind
and just send hope to someone
without hesitation, if only…

In this beautiful and cruel world
We only ask “why” we’re still alive…
Ah, what are we going to protect
with our strength and weakness? If reason
no longer exists

Vocals: Hikasa Yoko

Sono yume wa   kokoro no ibasho
Inochi yori   kowareyasuki mono
Nando de mo   sutete wa mitsuke
Yasuraka ni   saa nemure
Myakuutsu shoudou ni   negai wa okasare
Wasurete shimau hodo   mata omoidasu yo

Kono   utsukushiki zankoku na sekai de wa
Mada ikite iru koto “naze” to tou bakari de…
Aa boku-tachi wa   kono tsuyosa   yowasa de
Nani o mamoru no darou   mou risei nado
Nai naraba

Ano sora wa   setsunai no darou
Maiagaru   hai to shinkirou
Atatakai   kotoba ni kogoe
Hitoshirezu   saa nemure
Nebatsuku gensou ni   nageki wa kakusare
Chigitte shimau hodo   mata karamitsuku yo

Kono   utsukushiki zankoku na sekai de wa
Tada shinde yuku koto “mate” to kou bakari de…
Aa boku-tachi wa   kazamidori   tobezu ni
Shinjitsu wa uso yori   kirei ka dou ka
Wakaranai

Moshimo bokura uta naraba
Ano kaze ni   ho o age
Mayowazu ni tada   dareka no moto e
Kibou   todoke ni yuku no ni

Kono   utsukushiki zankoku na sekai de wa
Mada ikite iru koto “naze” to tou bakari de…
Aa boku-tachi wa   kono tsuyosa   yowasa de
Nani o mamoru no darou   mou risei nado
Nai naraba
