Castle Imitation by Chihiro Onitsuka English Lyrics

Castle Imitation English Lyrics
You are forever a hypocrite
A parade of pain marching close behind you, in righteous’ sake
I refuse the lie you lead
If I never travel along your path of lies
I won’t have to confront the darkness before me, burning so brightly
In your “sacred” space
My pulse starts to quicken, a tumor of my life
Forever disrupting harmony in the melody of my soul
Whenever I look across this blackened field, choices scattered before me
A broken sight, a broken path, a broken self
Yet despite this rampant chaos, you still claim everything is fine?
Despite this anger within me, I’m blessed with love from Venus
She shows me hope in the black of night, its light piercing the darkness
So bright the light of hope can be; in its splendor I become nervous
To live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it
If you prefer my imperfections
That all you see is the splendor of my soul, despite its pains
Why should I be perfect?
If there’s beauty in everything you see
Any flaws to it you can just wipe from existence, hidden from the world
Why should I trust what I see?
As the breeze becomes a hurricane, it tears at my resolve
And the cold that trails behind, it steals away my breath
Confidence shattered, a fractured reflection mirroring my fragile self
A broken soul, a broken mind, a broken life
Yet despite this rampant chaos, you still claim everything is fine?
Despite this impatience I feel, I’m blessed with love from Venus
She shows me peace within chaos, its brilliance piercing through the dark
So tranquil this kind of calm can be; in its presence I become nervous
To live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it
Into the sea I’ll sail away, never once looking back towards you
These waters I’ll forever float along;
Despite the darkness I see, I will never turn back
Despite this anger within me, I’m blessed with love from Venus
She shows me hope in the black of night, its light piercing the darkness
So bright the light of hope can be; in its splendor I become nervous
To live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it
Despite this impatience I feel, I’m blessed with love from Venus
She shows me peace within chaos, its brilliance piercing through the dark
So tranquil this kind of calm can be; in its presence I become nervous
To live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it, to live it

After finishing the game Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter for the first time; I heard this as the credits song. I then went to UA-cam and listened to the full version of the song. This live version was my first exposure to the full song; and I've liked it ever since.
