"the crimson-stained sun   has illuminated everything; now and the past   is what i have imagined within this twilight   more than my own hands can accomplish?      please teach me how to live   a little more vulnerably than i do now    won't you taint me just a little?   that way, even if i get hurt   and lose everything around me   this song of truth will flow through my heart      this dispute will probably go on   about that which is most precious   i've become a rebel, i've overlooked things   even the gentle smiles of strangers      if eternity knows what manner of darkness   and when pain will vanish,   then that way, you shall taint me   i looked always to yesterday, to the castles in the sky   when will i be able to follow them?   this song of truth shall be my guide      if eternity knows what manner of darkness   and when pain will vanish,   this song of truth will flow through my heart      now, please, taint me just a little   please, just taint me, only a little      this song of truth shall be my guide"
