Gravity Cannot Pull Me Down

What drives instinct to such a point that causes one to become obsessed?

The white wolf, chosen by Rakuen, determined so by his sole purpose.

"Searching for Paradise. It beckons me...calls to me...and I hear it."

Earth is losing its life, stripped dry, shedding the painful skin of death.

I've walked this road, this cold lonely world, with bitter anger and suffering.

A man ruined by tragedy, his heart torn in pieces as Harmona is lost.

The wolves, fleeting on the brink of this desolate place, are journeying;

not held by hope, by want, by reason; but an ever-hungry yearning.

Fire burning in their hearts, snow beneath their feet, the maiden with them.

The white flower, Cheza, carries with her the light, pointing to euphoria.

Like a red rose, petals scattered on the ground, can be restored once more.

I can sense the caress of her touch in my soul; the perfect maiden, a guide.

But no longer are my feelings absolute; I feel no love, bliss, desire, emotion.

She can lift this barrier from the edge. Cheza can open Rakuen.

The pads of my feet are icy in the cold snow, running to the red moon.

We cannot describe what draws us near to our desires, ambitions, dreams,

so near that the world repels, and we fall back farther and farther away.

"Yet, our eyes are still focused, and searching for the end."
