Lyrics for Joint from Shakugan no Shana II by Mami Kawada (Opening #1)
futatabi miru sekai wa
chiri to zanzou awai kage

rin to shita senaka ni wa
sono subete o seou kaku go ga aru

doushitai no doushite
kodoku na tabi sou kimeta hazudatta no ni

kono te o hanasanai de
kimi kara tsutawaru omoi kara
kokoro ni nemuru negai ga mezameru
tsuyoi shisen no kanata
mayoi nai futari no sugata ga mieru
dakara susumu no saranaru toki e

kudaketeku fuukei ni
ikiru koto no kiseki o shiru

tokubetsu no imi motome
samayoi aruku michi naki michi o

shinjitai no shinjite
tomo ni yuku to sou kimete hoshikatta kara

hitomi o sorasanai de
umaku kotoba ni dekinai kedo
mune no fukaku kimi o motomete iru
kibou no haruka kanata
mayoi nai futari no sugata ga mieru
dakara susumu no tsuginaru basho e

kuyashisaya kanashimi ga
ima made sore ijou no yorokobi o oshiete kureta
soshite tonari ni itsumo kanarazu
kimi to iu sonzai ga aru to iu koto mo

kanjiru desho
mou nani mo kowaku nante nai

kono te o nigiri shimete
kimi ni shika dasenai chikara ga
yume o genjitsu ni kaete yuku kara
tsuyoi shisen no kanata
mayoi nai futari no sugata ga mieru
dakara susumu no saranaru toki e

Once more I’m looking at this world,
Dust and after-images, and faint shadows

You have the resolution,
To shoulder all those burdens on that imposing back of yours

What do I want to do? And why?
Didn’t I decide to go on a lonely journey?

Don’t let go of this hand
Your feelings are crossing over
And causing the sleeping wish in my heart to awaken
At the furthest end of this powerful gaze
Are two figures with no trace of doubt...
That’s why we’ll keep going towards the future

Looking at this crumbling scenery,
I came to realize the miracle of living

Hoping for a special meaning,
I walked hesitantly down the road without a path

Do I want to believe?… Yes I want to believe…
Because I want to walk this path with you!

Don’t avert your gaze
Even though I can’t put this into words,
I desire you from the bottom of my heart.
At the furthest end of this hope
are two figures with no trace no doubt...
That’s why we’ll move on to the next place.

Anger and sorrow,
as shown me joy more than anything else.
Besides, I am always aware
Of you standing right next to me

All the time
There is no need to fear

Hold this hand tightly
Because a power which only you hold
Is turning dreams to reality
At the furthest end of this powerful gaze
Are two figures with no trace of doubt
That’s why we’ll keep going towards that future
