Kim Sion - CRUMBLE

[Romanization]

A flickering shade
A trembling light
The future we once painted starts to crumble
The days we traced begin to fall apart
Our dream is just a quiet, simple living

Our ideal is only peaceful, ordinary days
But lacking change, we drift along
With little change, we idle on
A fading gleam
A gentle glow
And the path we wandered, where has it gone now?

The road we followed, where did it disappear?
Time can cut and irritate,
Time

A tiny flame rises
A small flame sways
Guiding us on, leading ahead
What returns is a tender harmony
What comes back is a gentle harmony

“Nothing lasts forever,” you say again and again
“You know nothing lasts forever,” you say and say
And still, we try to laugh and say that’s fine
And still, we laugh and say, “Well, that’s okay”
Even shining light will someday fade to shadow

Our dream is just for quiet, simple days
But without change, we float along
With nothing new, we carry on
A dimming gleam, a tender glow
And the road we walked, where did it go now?

The road we followed, where did it disappear?
Time can cut and irritate,
Time

A tiny flame rises
A small flame sways
Guiding us on, leading ahead
What returns is a tender harmony
What comes back is a gentle harmony

Standing in a blazing storm
Though we stand inside a burning storm
The marks of yesterday still sting my, my skin

Ripples rise
Ripples rise
Toward the light
Toward the light

Cry and whisper, “Yeah, it hurts.”
So we cry softly, saying, “Yeah, it hurts.”
Even balloons will someday wilt or burst apart

Tiny flame rises
A small flame sways
Guiding us on, leading ahead
What returns is a tender harmony
What comes back is a gentle harmony

“Nothing lasts forever,” you say again, and again
“You know nothing lasts forever,” you say and say
And still, we try to laugh and say that’s fine
And still, we laugh and say, “Well, that’s okay”
Even shining light will someday fade to shadow
Even glowing light will someday turn to shade
