Forgotten Dreams
Performed by NHTC


TASUKI:
I can't see how
I could've forgotten
how to dream
even in the middle of this war.

CHICHIRI:
I guess I just lost
a sense of myself somewhere
in the battles that were fought
all around me for so long no da.

NURIKO/HOTOHORI:
I've forgotten the dreams
that used to shape my life, didn't I?

ALL:
There are dreams that are gone now
because I've been hurt so badly...
TASUKI:
I used to have so many ambitions!
What happened to them all?
ALL:
This nightmare is reality
and we've lost the dreams
that we once cherished.

HOTOHORI:
When the night falls
there is only a frightening darkness
greeting me when
I finally fall asleep.

NURIKO:
Why is it that
where I used to dream of love
I see only black?
Have I forgotten my dreams?

TASUKI/CHICHIRI:
There's a darkness in my heart
where I used to have hopes and prayers.

ALL:
There are dreams that are gone now
because I've been hurt so badly...
NURIKO:
All my life there've been dreams
but now they're all gone, aren't they?
ALL:
The pain in my heart is very real
it seems to have
chased all of my dreams away.

CHICHIRI:
I can't believe that
even after everything else
just this
made my heart go away, no da.

HOTOHORI:
A war is fought
the battle is won
unfortunately, the one thing I lost
was what made life worth living.

NURIKO/TASUKI:
I used to care about things
other than fighting and power.

ALL:
There are dreams that are gone now
because I've been hurt so badly...
CHICHIRI:
There's a little smile on my face
but really I don't feel happy at all no da.
ALL:
This war we fought
killed many things
including my dreams.

NURIKO:
I forgot how to dream
somewhere in the battles
where I welcomed the darkness
as a comfort against fate.

TASUKI:
I hate how I can't see anything
in my mind anymore
when I go to sleep!
Why is that?!

HOTOHORI/CHICHIRI:
I never knew how perfect things were
until I lost them all.

ALL:
There are dreams that are gone now
because I've been hurt so badly...
HOTOHORI:
I must be a capable emperor
but I don't want these empty nights.
ALL:
Fighting is brutal and destroys
but we never thought
that it would destroy us.

ALL:
This nightmare is reality
and we've lost the dreams
that we once cherished.
