Drowning in your dream
tomo ni tsukisusumu ashita e no michi to naru
bokura wa star light
Translation:
Of this world, the end is coming
Dreams and hopes do not matter
Inside your heart, you are sleeping
but you will not wake up
Feel the hand of a future that cannot be changed
Burning for your life
This life will burn out someday, even if you try to cling to it
(for the perfect dream)
Drowning in my dream
Even if it's remembered, a dream is only a dream
You are star light
In that world, overflowing with shines
Your spirit will die out
Soon after the delivery of love by a wishing angel,
With its hand, stopping the end of the future
Drowning for my life
Someday it will hit, this life cannot go back
(for the eX dream)
Drowning in your dream
Even if it's remembered, where will the dream continue?
I am moon light
Drowning for your life
A surprise is on the way, even if hope is held on to
(for the perfect dream)
Drowning in my dream
Even if destruction occurs, I will not run away
Drowning for my life
Never undecided, this feeling will not stop
(for the eX dream)
Drowning in your dream
A rushing companion, this will be the road of tomorrow
I am star light
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Prologue
"Leafe, it is the source of all life. Leafe, it is the power of all living things, all men all women. When the Leafe of the Pretear and the Leafe of a Knight merge and become one, a new power is born."—quote from episode 1: Winds of destiny.
"Ki is the power of the spirit. It is the life source of everything. Humans, animals, grass, even stone and metal contain Ki. Martial Artists are individuals with the ability to tap into their Ki to make themselves stronger, faster, and more durable. There are those among them who can manipulate their Ki in such ways as to use it as an attack. These Martial Artists are the Legends."—excerpt from "The Chronicles of Martial Arts and Ki" 1:5.
"There will be one born adept at using both Leafe and Ki. This one is not just one, however, a second form hides beneath the other. A brother and a sister, both destined to be a Knight and Pretear, shall be one. Then, the lord of darkness will awaken and herald the return of the Virage. The Knights of Dragons will come to power and one with two souls shall split to accept destiny. Dragons once hidden to the world of old shall awaken and choose their knights. History shall repeat and Darkness and Fire shall share their fate. Divine and Light will join forces and unite their holy powers."—Prophecy of Leafean

SSD: Yes, I know I have changed this AGAIN. But I thought that the previous song didn't fit well enough with how the story is going now. I thought that it was just…kiddy. This is—to those who may recognize it—actually the opening theme to X. Awesome series. I suggest to those of you who have yet to see it, go out and get it. And be prepared to have a few tissues on hand, it's quite the tragic end for the hero. Shit, I almost gave it away! Anyway, all you should know is that it is a tragic series/drama. Umm, I better go. I have school tomorrow. Ciao!
