This song is all sung by Lelouch and Euphemia, and it is about his remorse at using his Geass on Euphemia.
As I looked into the burning sky,
A tear forming in my eye
Memories of fallen dreams
And all those that have died.
Demons are possessing me.
Robbed of my eternity.
A cloud of ash that pierced the night;
I feel my hate take flight.
[That first verse is sung by Euphemia, as Wertsir said]
I'm choking on my own words and
I'm scared of backing down
Because the hope within us all
Is up in flames.
Twisted by my warring conscience,
The situation's pushing onwards.
Genocide
Forever taints your name.
[Lelouch cannot believe his accidental order, but must turn the situation to his advantage. Euphemia will be remembered as Princess Massacre]
This can't be, was this me?
I think I've lost control.
I caused this, I forced this,
Can I continue on?
I have caused this, I have forced this.
I caused this, I forced this, I caused this.
[The bridge shows that Lelouch is torn by his order]
Mou oshimai da. - Translates to "It's Hopeless"
Betrayed by trust, forever left to scream.
Oh hold me closely and die in my arms,
And then take this secret with you,
And then take this secret with you.
[The chorus shows that Euphemia and Lelouch's mutual trust led to the accidental command, and that Lelouch feels he must kill Euphemia, despite loving her. Also, when she dies she will take the knowledge of Zero's true identity with her]
I became your puppet master,
As you stared into my eyes,
Then stood and watched in horror
As you ordered them to die.
[Lelouch accidentally used his Geass on Euphemia and was distraught when she gave the order to kill]
This could fuel The Revolution
This could be my last solution,
And all good victories
Come with a price.
[Lelouch could use this to kickstart the Rebellion, and the price is his sister Euphemia's life]
This can't be, was this me?
I think I've lost control.
I caused this, I forced this,
Can I continue on?
I have caused this, I have forced this.
I caused this, I forced this.
Mou oshimai da.
Betrayed by trust, forever left to scream.
Oh hold me closely and die in my arms,
And then take this secret with you,
And then take this secret with you.
Mou oshimai da.
Betrayed by trust, forever left to scream.
Oh hold me closely and die in my arms,
And then take this secret with you,
Then take this secret with you.
Take my secret with you.
Take my secret with you.
Take my secret with you.
Just take my secret with you.
