Thought it was a Nightmare!

I stare at the setting sun

I feel its cold embrace

I stare it from this desolate hill

On this island of Fuu

I see my hopes sink with the setting sun

with its red fiery rays stinging my eyes.

I thought it was a nightmare-

That you\'ve left me alone.

They told me-

the world

But I refused whatever they said

And believed that you are always with me

Until this day I received this letter of yours-

The letter that is this coffin

being lowered into the earth,

many feet below.
