Lyrics for Hishoku no Sora from Shakugan no Shana by Mami Kawada (Opening #1)
soshite kono sora akaku somete mata kuru toki kono mi de susumu dake

sure chigatte iku hito mo magire nakushita mono mo
itsuka wa kieyuku toki
atsuku yurugasu tsuyosa hakanaku yureru yowasa
shosen onaji mirai

sonna nichiyou kouka o tokashi arawareruhi kureru sekai

kaze ni nabikase sen o hiite nagareru you na kamisaki teki o sasu
fumi ikitta omoi minagiru yume
subete wa ima kono te de shimei hatashite yuku dake

mata hi ga hitotsu otosare sotto dokokade kieta
genjitsu kawaranu hibi
dakedo tashikani kanjiru kimi no nukumori kodou
kore mo shinjitsu da to

soshite kurenai koujin o maki yuuhi o sei ni ima hajimaru saa

naze takanaru kokoro ni mayoi tomadoi kanjiru no
hayaku itazura ni abaredasu itami kowashite
sora ni nijinda yaketa kumo wa uchi ni himeta negai ga kogashiteru
tameratta hitomi ukabu namida demo ashita no chikara ni kaete

subete sasagete mai orita chi saeru yaiba hitotsu de yami o kiru
itsu datte mune no oku no hikari mabatakasete
kono mi de shimei hatashite yuku made

And when this sky comes again to dye me red, I'll just advance by myself

Even the people passing by, even the things that have gotten lost
Will be vanishing memories someday
'Strength' flickering hotly, 'weakness' shaking faintly-
They'll meet the same end after all

In such typical days, the sun, dissolving the red clouds and manifesting, makes the world crimson

Streaming in the wind, the tips of my hair, drawing a line and seeming to flow, pierce my foe
Severed feelings, brimming dreams-
For everything, now I just fulfill my mission with my hands

Another torch was lost and it quietly vanished somewhere
In reality, with unchanging days
But I definitely feel your warmth and pulse
That these are also the truth

And the crimsonness scatters dust, and turning my back to the setting sun, I'll start now, c'mon

Why do I feel confusion and hesitation in my throbbing heart?
Hurry up and destroy the pain beginning to rage in vain

The sunburnt clouds blotting the sky are the wishes hidden inside of me and torturing me
My eyes hesitated and my tears appear, but I'll change them into strength for tomorrow

I offered up everything and landed on earth; I cut the darkness with one swing of my sharp blade
Make the light deep in my chest sparkle all the time
Until I fulfill my mission by myself
