A Cruel Angel's Thesis by Yoko Takahashi
(English Translation Lyrics)
Like A Cruel Angel
Young Boy, Become The Legend!
A Blue Wind Is Now
Knocking At The Door To Your Heart, And Yet
You Are Merely Gazing At Me
And Smiling
Something Gently Touching
You're So Intent On Seeking It Out
That You Can't Even See Your Fate Yet
With Such Innocent Eyes
But Someday I Think You'll Find Out
That What's On Your Back
Are Wings That Are For
Heading For The Far-Off Future
The Cruel Angel's Thesis
Will Soon Take Flight Through The Window
With Surging, Hot Pathos
If You Betray Your Memories
Embracing This Sky [Universe] And Shining
Young Boy, Become The Legend!
Sleeping For A Long Time
In The Cradle Of My Love
The Morning Is Coming When You Alone Will Be Called
By A Messenger Of Dreams
Moonlight Reflects Off
The Nape Of Your Slender Neck
Stopping Time All Throughout The World
I Want To Confine Them, But...
So If Two People Being Brought Together By Fate
Has Any Meaning
I Think That It Is A "Bible"
For Learning Freedom
The Cruel Angel's Thesis
The Sorrow Then Begins
You Held Tight To The Form Of Life
When You Woke Up From That Dream
You Shine Brighter Than Anyone Else
Young Boy, Become The Legend!
People Create History
While Weaving Love
Even Knowing I'll Never Be A Goddess Or Anything Like That
I Live On
The Cruel Angel's Thesis
Will Soon Take Flight Through The Window
With Surging, Hot Pathos
If You Betray Your Memories
Embracing This Sky And Shining
Young Boy, Become The Legend!
