Fukushima woke the dreamer To the lie that we’d been sold That the power that he’d taken Was a flame that he could hold Now the sleeper has awakened but the nightmare still unfolds Fukushima is a story As new as it is old Lalalala lala There’s a town near Fukushima Where children used to play But the streets of Namae are empty today And the houses stand like ghosts To all the souls that couldn’t stay The road that we travel And the land on which it lay forever torn asunder sent askew and turned away How pleasant it is For little tin gods While mother nature nods But when she awakes Our lies and mistakes Are irrevocable Woke the dreamer To the lie that we’d been sold That the power that he’d taken Was a flame that he could hold Now the sleeper has awakened but the nightmare still unfolds Fukushima is a story As new as it is old Lalalala lala フクシマ *フクシマは夢を見ていた人を起こした。  信じ込まされていた嘘の夢。  つかみ取れば威力を持ち続けられるという  炎があるという嘘。  今、眠っていた人は目覚めた。  でも、悪夢はまだ続いている。  フクシマの話は  新しく、古い。  ララララララ  フクシマの近くに町があった。  かつては子供たちが遊んでいた。  でも、ナミエの通りは  今日は、空っぽだ。  家々は亡霊のように立つ。  そこに留まれなくなった全ての魂の為に。         私達の旅路と         そこに横たわる土地は         永遠に引き裂かれた。         歪められ、追い払われた。  なんと心地よいことだろう。  おだてられて、いい気になっている人にとって、  母なる自然が居眠りしている間は。  でも、眠りから覚めた時、  私達の嘘と過ちは  もう取り返しがつかない。 *
