Time drifts away Love drifts away You're certain to go off to war, Showing me a sad face All men, everyone, as if possessed With mouths drawn tight, eyes burning Marching in step I'm certain to be left behind For the sake of war For the sake of pride Time drifts away Love drifts away I, who am rotting away, drift away Time drifts away Love drifts away I will always hate war, Showing you an expressionless face All women, everyone, will rally together With teeth clenched, and backs straight For the sake of the children You're certain to come back Stop the fighting For the sake of life Time drifts away

Love drifts away All before me, rotting away, drifts away
