A Cruel Angel's Thesis (From Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Like an angel who has forsaken sympathy

Rise up, young boy, and make yourself a legend!

Blue skies and beckoning winds

Are trying to open the door of your heart

But you're gazing at me as if you cannot see

You just stand there, smiling vacantly

Your eyes hold such innocence

You're blind to the fate that will soon come to pass

But it's summoning you with a touch like a sigh

You seek it without knowing why

But, someday, I know that you will be awakened

And your eyes will finally see

These wings on your back are just waiting to guide you

The future will soon set you free!

This cruel thesis, a spiteful angel's litany

Will soon soar from the window of your destiny

White-hot pathos, a desecrated symphony

Stay true to this and don't betray your memory!

Come now, reach out, you must embrace reality!

Rise up, young boy, and make yourself a legend!

You've slept for ever-so-long

Embraced in affection and cradled with care

But with morning's approach comes an echoing cry

It tells you to wave your dreams goodbye

And the moon is shining above

It wishes to show just how fragile you are

You're so frail and slight in its silvery light

Our fate is not one we can fight

But, someday, I hope that we'll be reunited

If that is what's destined to be

Perhaps we'll discover that elusive Bible

And then we will finally be free!

This cruel thesis, a spiteful angel's mockery

Will bring with it the sorrow of futility

Hold on tightly and do not lose vitality

You must wake up, for now the dream is history!

Come now, reach out, you must embrace humanity!

Rise up, young boy, and make yourself a legend!

Love is the thread of the story that's woven

Of future and present and past

I may not ever ascend to the heavens

But I know my love will still last!
