+
Those who stagnate are foolish.
+
A black feather has fallen,
+
gently and lightly, onto my fingertips.
+
Since you are a tale,
+
you can still be rewritten many times,
+
for the blood ink will never parch up.
+
Our true selves, unknown to anyone,
+
are the ones capable of changing this dwindled world.
+
What we have been seeking
+
is not something as petty as happiness.
+
Fight! With your pounding heartbeats being your signal,
+
if you advance as you please,
+
there will be no limit to how far you can go.
+
Resist! Even if we writhe in pain from repeated defeats,
+
onto the scars covering our bodies, let's engrave our dreams.
+
In order prevent our present memories from being buried,
+
we must head towards tomorrow.
+
Holding on to our elegant frailty,
+
can it be that we're merely botched dolls
+
from God's work of artistic creation?
+
Nevertheless, having transcended both heaven and hell,
+
our hearts will reach our bosoms.
+
I'll be content
+
when I get to close my eyes for good.
+
Fight! Our confluent cries will be our oath.
+
The strength we have brought together
+
is even more sacred than love.
+
I wish to seize the sword that will deliver the final blow.
+
Let me brandish the point of my sword that penetrates all.
+
There, light will gather and saturate,
+
and hope will be nurtured.
+
I wish to perceive the meaning
+
of living and life
+
as taught by my pounding heartbeats.
+
Resist! Even if we writhe in pain from repeated defeats,
+
(Have faith in the strength of our unfathomed selves,)
+
onto the scars covering our bodies, let's engrave our dreams!
+
I wish to guard the sword that will deliver the final blow.
+
(I wish to seize what I will have in my hand in the very end.)
+
Let me brandish the point of my sword that penetrates all.
+
Then, my body will be showered
+
with the gathering and saturating light,
+
and a white feather will finally have fallen,
+
gently and lightly, onto my fingertips.
+
The visitors have fallen silent.

English Title: Fallen Heaven's Declaration of War
Description: Opening Theme
From Anime: Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra (戦う司書 The Book of Bantorra)
From Season: Fall 2009
Performed by: ALI PROJECT
Lyrics by: Arika Takarano (宝野アリカ)
Composed by: Mikiya Katakura (片倉三起也)
In a world where the entirety of the dead is stored in “Books” in the library, three people live under harsh circumstances. Among them is a boy named Corio Tonis, who has had his memory and ability to think stolen and has a bomb implanted in his chest. The three visit Toatto, a mining town of “Books.”
Corio’s sole purpose in life had been to kill Hamutz Meseta, the world’s most powerful armed librarian. However, he falls in love at first sight with the “Book” of a beautiful princess.
A battle begins between Hamutz Meseta and the assassins lying in wait to kill him, and Corio, caught in the middle despite having fallen in love, is swept up into the chaos.
