VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS UP TO ALICIZATION EP24
This SAO Alicization insert/ending song hit me so hard that it still fills me with emotions after playing it on loop for a week. I just HAD to sing it NOW! Being new to lyrics writing though, I had trouble translating the Japanese neatly into English…. So I’ve taken some liberty to change the lyrics drastically to Eugeo telling the story from his heart. Having read the Alicization light novel, I’ve often felt that the anime’s depiction of Eugeo’s character and thinking is a bit lacking, so it’s nice to write lyrics that speak from his angle :). However, in order to match the ups and downs of Eugeo’s storyline to the flow of the music, the English lyrics had to go beyond Ep19, and CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS FOR EP 20-24. So if you don’t want spoilers, please don’t go beyond the 3:10 time mark until you’ve watched subsequent episodes!
And here's an updated version of this video adding the scenes for EP20-EP24: www.bilibili.c...

------
The years gone by day after day
But deep in my heart a secret dream
If I defy the rules of this land
Will I see you again
My friend ignite this empty soul
Instil in me a new heartbeat
We walk the length of the whole world
Shatter Pandora’s box
I will risk my heart and soul to see you again
But I find in your eyes
That your memories are concealed
I don’t know how I’d bear this pain and sorrow
And yet still I believe
One day you will come back to me
And we will hold our hands, my sunshine forever more
------
My fear, my doubts, won’t hold me back
I vouch to climb a hundred floors
Break all taboo in the whole world
To find that smile of yours
I will release the blue rose sword
Defeat the strongest knight in the realm
But then the devil come my way
And whisper deep in my ears
And I hear, and I see
The one scene I don’t want to believe
I am hurt, I am tired, have no courage to go on
Can’t be true, can’t be real
I will say that forbidden line
All my dreams, all my hope, slowly slip into the void
------
I just want to forget
I don’t want to see
I don’t want to hear
Be a mindless puppet with no voice
Yet you call out my name
Love me all the same
And you wake me from my sleep
Oh what have I done….
------
My sin, my guilt
My mistakes crumble my soul
How can I raise a sword to the ones I love most
But I will die for you
To redeem my betrayal
Fight with you as your blade till the end of my life
Save this world from all sadness and heartbreaks
Return to our childhood days
Forever by your side
