Fire Bird

The cyan bird flies out of the ring of fire

Feather ends with ashes

dark eyes sparkling

What is weakness and what is freedom

Are we only allowed to leave

When the flame burns to the whole body

sparks fall

Everyone is in the ring of fire

Shadows have nowhere to hide

The flame of the feather will remind you

remind you

under numbness

ability to perceive pain

The bird chirped rapidly

Pierced the dark night

is miserable

faster than a sound

ear starts to bleed

But we will always look at this cyan bird

we will watch its pain

Watch it fly out of fire

Watch half of its body turns to ashes

Another half glows with gold

How about us?

Where is us?

oh feather

oh my feathers

cyan feather

i want to kiss you

从火里飞出来的鸟

青色的鸟从火圈里飞出来

羽毛的尾端沾着灰烬

乌黑的眼睛闪着火光

什么是软弱,什么是自由

火焰烧至全身的时候

我们才被允许离开吗

火花降落

所有人都在火圈里

影子无处藏身

羽毛的火焰将提醒你

提醒你

在麻木之下

还有感知痛苦的能力

那只鸟急促地叫着

刺透了黑色的夜晚

是凄惨

一声比一声急促

耳朵开始流血

但我们将始终看着这只青色的鸟

我们将看着它的痛苦

看着它飞出大火

看着它一半的身体变成灰烬

一半的身体闪着金光

我们呢?

我们在哪里?

哦羽毛

哦我的羽毛

青色的羽毛

我想亲吻你
