Lyrics:

Zankoku na tenshi no you ni (Like a cruel angel)
Shonen yo, shinwa ni nare (Young boy, become the legend!)

Aoi kaze ga ima mune no doa wo tataitemo (A blue wind is now knocking at the door to your heart, and yet)
Watashi dake wo tada mitsumete (You are merely gazing at me)
Hohoenderu Anata (And smiling)
Sotto Fureru mono (Something gently touching)
Motomeru koto ni muchuu de (You're so intent on seeking it out)
Unmei sae mada shiranai itaikena hitomi (That you can't even see your fate yet with such innocent eyes)

Dakedo itsuka kizuku deshou (But someday I think you'll find out)
Sono senaka ni wa (That what's on your back)
Haruka mirai mezasu tame no (Are wings that are for)
Hane ga aru koto (Heading for the far-off future)

Zankoku na tenshi no te-ze (The cruel angel's thesis)
Madobe kara yagate tobitatsu (Will soon take flight through the window)
Hotobashiru atsui patosu de (With surging, hot pathos)
Omoide wo uragiru nara (If you betray your memories)
O-zora wo daite kagayaku (Embracing this sky and shining)
Shonen yo, shinwa ni nare (Young boy, become the legend!)

Zutto nemutteru watashi no ai no yurikago (Sleeping for a long time in the cradle of my love)
Anata dake ga yume no shisha ni (The morning is coming when you alone will be called)
Yobareru asa ga kuru (By a messenger of dreams)
Hosoi kubisuji wo tsukiakari ga utsushiteru (Moonlight reflects off the nape of your slender neck)
Sekai-ju- no toki wo tomete (Stopping time all throughout the world)
Tojikometai kedo (I want to confine them, but)

Moshi mo futari aeta koto ni imi ga aru nara (So if two people being brought together by fate has any meaning)
Watashi wa, sou, jiyu- wo shiru (I think that it is a bible)
Tame no Baiburu (For learning freedom)

Zankoku na tenshi no te-ze (The cruel angel's thesis)
Kanashimi ga soshite hajimaru (The sorrow then begins)
Dakishimeta inochi no katachi (You held tight to the form of life)
Sono yume ni mezameta toki (When you woke up from that dream)
Dare yori mo hikari wo hanatsu (You shine brighter than anyone else)
Shonen yo, shinwa ni nare (Young boy, become the legend!)

Hito wa ai wo tsumugi nagara rekishi wo tsukuru (People create history while weaving love)
Megami nante narenai mama (Even knowing I'll never be a goddess or anything like that)
Watashi wa ikiru (I live on)

Zankoku na tenshi no te-ze (The cruel angel's thesis)
Madobe kara yagate tobitatsu (Will soon take flight through the window)
Hotobashiru atsui patosu de (With surging, hot pathos)
Omoide wo uragiru nara (If you betray your memories)
O-zora wo daite kagayaku (Embracing this sky and shining)
Shonen yo, shinwa ni nare (Young boy, become the legend!)
