The shadows breathe in discord.
Gravities gain each hue, fade away.
Unsettling light drowns countless screaming.
Itazura ni kazashita shisou o
Garakuta ni kasaneteitatte
The price that's borne.
Is there no resisting my fate?
In a dizzy whirl, sin fades, and essence slips away.
Hold us, don't tear apart.
You gotta break the curse to the edge.
Tadareru hodo no itami ni sae
Kotae wa naku izanawareru Currents of tears.
Does everyone get closer to the urge?
Taemanaku kizamu sono kougou no sekai e
Ima mo risou egaite
You gotta break the curse to the edge,
And stop the bleeding.
[Full Version Continues]
It doesn't matter what pain it is, but essence slips away.
Hold on, lost deep in lost emotion.
Kuragari ni tozashita zetsubou
Hakisuteru kyozou, nibiiro no ue
Unsettling light dims countless wailing.
Is this the current of death?

You gotta break the curse to the edge.
Kagaribi o sono me ni tazusae
Kotae wa naku hikari haseru Currents of fears.
Does everyone get closer to the urge?
Taemanaku isamu sono houkou no zekai e
Ima mo inochi o kudaita mama de
Trapped in the fear of fate and the gears, seeking to break.
(Torn apart,) Caught in blood, feeling insane.
(Blinding lie,) Drowning deep inside the pain.
(Sol in sky,) Pushing through the darkness.
Just step beyond.
Calm the fear, if you're so drowned in your tears...
Ah...
Clutching the flame of hope.
Kiseki ga kikoete iru ka
Namida hi o hikisaita
Kimi no kibou kakaeta mama de...
You gotta break the curse to the edge.
Tadareru hodo no itami ni sae
Kotae wa naku izanawareru Currents of tears.

The shadows breathe in discord.
Gravities gain each hue, fade away.
Unsettling light drowns countless screaming.
The mischievous ideals I held up to the sky
Even if I piled them atop worthless junk
The price that's borne.
Is there no resisting my fate?
In a dizzy whirl, sin fades, and essence slips away.
Hold us, don't tear apart.
You gotta break the curse to the edge.
Even in pain that festers and burns
There's no solution-just drawn into the currents of tears.
Does everyone get closer to the urge?
Into the sea of worlds where relentless jaws carve without end
Still painting our ideals
You gotta break the curse to the edge,
And stop the bleeding.
[Full Version Continues]
It doesn't matter what pain it is, but essence slips away.
Hold on, lost deep in lost emotion.
Despair shut away in the darkness
Spitting out false images, on a dull-colored stage
Unsettling light dims countless wailing.

You gotta break the curse to the edge.
With a torch burning in your eyes
There's no solution-just chasing the light through the currents of fears.
Does everyone get closer to the urge?
To the borderless ends of this wandering filled with courage
Still breaking, with life already shattered
Trapped in the fear of fate and the gears, seeking to break.
(Torn apart,) Caught in blood, feeling insane.
(Blinding lie,) Drowning deep inside the pain.
(Sol in sky,) Pushing through the darkness.
Just step beyond.
Calm the fear, if you're so drowned in your tears...
Ah...
Clutching the flame of hope.
Can you hear the trace of prayer?
Tearing through the light of tears
Still carrying your hope...
You gotta break the curse to the edge.
Even in pain that festers and burns
There's no solution-just drawn into the currents of tears.

In an era where the once-prosperous scientific technologies have declined, a new energy source called "magical power" drives the world. Humanity has created the forbidden biological weapons known as "Gears." The Gears, upon their creation, eventually rise in rebellion against humanity.
The ensuing "Holy War"—a war for survival—sees humanity emerge victorious, but at a great cost. Even after more than a decade, the scars left on people’s hearts have yet to heal.
Shin Kisk, the child born of the forbidden union between a human and a Gear, is on his way to his parents' wedding. This is a union long seen as taboo—human and Gear marriage, something achieved only after a long struggle in peaceful times. The wedding is surrounded by conflicting emotions, yet it remains a ceremony full of blessings.
Suddenly, a mysterious girl appears—an inheritor of the Gear bloodline, and one who harbors deep hatred toward the Gears. The encounter between the two, a child of destiny and a girl who despises the Gears, will send shockwaves throughout the world.
