When They Cry (From "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni")

I turn and I see
There′s nothing behind me
(But who's in front)
Raising my hands up
My claws meet the night sky
(And I tear at the darkness)

Rain falls, dripping down my face
As the water turns a pure shade of blood
Before my very eyes
There′s no, no place for me
And I know; that there's no going back

Take away what's left of me
Every drop of blood I bleed
And I will take your hand
With your fingers still attached
In the forest of your mind
Where all the cicadas hide
Know when you hear them cry
There is no going back

They are extinguished
Each one in succession
(These flames of blue)

Off in the distance
Beyond total darkness
(Where the sun never rises)

Deep within the mirror′s edge
Many hands are desperate to breakaway
They′re reaching out to you
To cure their loneliness
Won't you lure
Another soul deep down here

Will you come away with me
While I sing this melody
Don′t even try to escape
It's a game of tag we′ll play
Every single trace of you
I will come to capture you
Where the cicadas cry
Only silence remains

Take away what's left of me
Every drop of blood I bleed
And I will take your hand
With your fingers still attached
In the forest of your mind
Where all the cicadas hide
Know when you hear them cry
There is no going back

Will you come away with me
While I sing this melody
Don′t even try to escape
It's a game of tag we'll play
Every single trace of you
I will come to capture you
Where the cicadas cry
Only silence remains
