Greg Atkinson musicSakura BleedsIn shadows cast by his conscience
He hides
The dual embrace of regrets
And lies
A symphony of contrition
Repeats
His senses grind to a halt
As he leaps
Is he 4 Real?
Yes he can view the world with wide open eyes
Is he 4 Real?
Yes he can be the child whose too raw to lie
All the beauty of devoted butterflies
They decorate the sky above the cherry blossom blanket
The Sakura bleeds
Bleeding pink and white
Bleeding pink and white
Bleeding pink and white to purge the demons out
Is he 4 real?
Is he 4 real?

Dance Music Forever長崎櫻花雨 Cherry Blossom In Nagasaki (House Mix)Taiwan Independence
NAGASAKI 的櫻花哇尼呀使人感動
你咁擱ㄝ記ㄝ這嘎位當時蝦米攏無
生命輕重親像一陣冷風
人的運命全然無可奈何
一切全然消失親像花落土
NAGASAKI 的暗瞑閃爍迷人的驕傲
你咁擱ㄝ記ㄝ那當尊佳夕天地崩落
誰人ㄝ腳步變成了過往
誰人ㄝ一生親像櫻花雨
誰人ㄝ堪ㄝ想起這款ㄝ恐怖
SAKURA SAKURA.............................................
NAGASAKI's cherry blossoms are so touching
Do you remember when there was nothing here
The weight of life is like a cold wind
The fate of man is completely helpless
Everything disappears like a flower falling to the ground
NAGASAKI's night flashing glaming pride
Do you remember when the sky and the earth collapsed here
whose footsteps have become the past
Whose life is like a rain of cherry blossoms
Who dares to think of such horror
