HINOTORI (Takanashi Kiara) - English Cover by Azia

☆ And in the next life too, I promise I will find you ☆
I'm following up my cover of "Cursed Night" with another Hololive EN song! My upload schedule (or, um, lack thereof) may be a disaster, but I hope you'll enjoy! There will be another cover coming tomorrow, as well.
It was incredibly hard to write English lyrics for this song. Kiara herself said that many of the words and phrases used are difficult to translate. I don't speak Japanese, so I did my best to capture what the spirit of the song by consulting multiple fan translations. That said, the verses particularly confused me - to any of you fluent in Japanese, I'm sorry if I butchered it jsdfdsf.
(side note: I'm returning to mixing most of my covers myself for the time being, so that's the reason for the slightly worse quality - I'll be doing my best to learn how to mix better!)

(feel free to use, but please credit me if you do)
Fragmented words shown up in the twinkling stars
Are connected by a line, drawn within the map in my memory
To understand why I live this dangerous way, a holy servant of the flames
Hear the legendary words in my prayer
Tell me, I can hear it clearly,
Tell me, crying your unspoken woes
Wild and rough, my heart it beats, scorching my weakness up
Into the sky I’ll throw my burning body, raining flames beneath me
Chaos blooming out, I let the red adorn my face
Over and over come the endless trials, but I’ll always survive the night
I will live to keep on fighting till the dawn
To illustrate, there’s a boundary you can’t see, zero reaching out for me
If I lose my way I still, won’t obey
Time and again I return to face the end, a lonely demise but then
I believe there lies the true answer
Don’t break, I will never give up,
Don’t break, even if my feathers roy
Giving me strength, time lends a hand, letting me fly again
My body rises from the earth, the ashes blossoming around me
Wake and open up your eyes in these vermillion skies
As our swords sliced down to meet each other, this new promise was interchanged
Lies and truth, come to light at the break of day
I’ve been trying to find my destiny
But they keep pushing and pulling me astray
If I go wrong, what awaits me in the dark?
Could you tell me, please, where I need to go?
Tell me, I can hear it clearly,
Tell me, crying your unspoken woes
My courage sprouts, as I stand tall, clearing the darkness out
Into the sky I’ll throw my burning body, raining flames beneath me
Chaos blooming out, I let the red adorn my face
Over and over come the endless trials, but I’ll always survive the night
Blazing flames, show me the path to luminance
And in the next life, too, I promise I will find you!
