"A Cruel Dream" is the twelfth song in the Death Note Musical. It is sung by Rem and Misa Amane. (Sorry about the silence at the end - I couldn't figure out how to cut it short.)
レム / Rem 海砂 / Misa （私の寿命後どれぐらい？） (watashi no jumyô ato dorekurai?)

(Is that so?) （私ね パパとママが死んでから楽しいと思ったこと何か一度もなかった） (watashi ne papa to mama ga shinde kara tanoshii to omotta koto nanka ichidô mo nakatta) (You see, after papa and mama died I had not had fun even once) （心から嬉しいと思えたのはキラが犯人を殺してくれた時だけ） (kokoro kara ureshii to omoeta no wa Kira ga hannin o koroshite kureta toki dake) (The only time I felt happy from the bottom of my heart was when Kira killed that criminal for me) （絶対に見つける） (zettai ni mitsukeru) (I’ll definitely find him) （キラに会えるんだったら寿命が半分減れくらい何でもない） (Kira ni aeru n dattara jumyô ga hanbun kurai nan de mo nai) (When I meet Kira it won’t matter that I only have half my lifespan) 熱い想い それは幻だ atsui omoi sore wa maboroshi da Passionate desire, that is an illusion 自分騙す 危険な罠だ jibun damasu kiken na wana da Fooling yourself, a dangerous trap （キラに会いたいと） (Kira ni aitai to) (I want to meet Kira) 海の深さ まだ知らぬうちに umi no fukasa mada shiranu uchi ni You still don’t know the depth of that ocean 愛の夢に 絡め取られて ai no yume ni karametorarete Being caught up in the dream of love 愛などいつか消え去る ai nado itsuka kiesaru Someday this love will vanish 残酷な夢 zankoku na yume It’s a cruel dream 望み砕かれ 嘆くのは nozomi kudakare nageku no wa Smashing one’s hope, lamenting it is 愚か者だけだ orokamono dake da only for fools 熱い想い これは本物よ atsui omoi kore wa honmono yo Passionate desire, this is the real thing 生きる意味を教えてくれた ikiru imi o oshiete kureta It taught me the reason for living 残る命 半分にしても nokoru inochi hanbun ni shite mo 愛は ai wa Even if this love means your remaining life will be cut in half いいの ii no That’s fine 裏切られても uragirarete mo Even if I am betrayed 理屈など通用しない rikutsu nado tsûyô shinai Things like reason doesn’t apply 残酷な夢 zankoku na yume It’s a cruel dream 戻る道さえ失い modoru michi sae ushinai Losing even the way back 落ちてゆくだけ ochite yuku dake There is only falling 愛は生きる力 ai wa ikiru chikara Love is the strength to live 絶望のもと zetsubô no moto The root of despair 逃げるが勝ち nigeru ga kachi To run away is victory 逃げられない nigerarenai I won’t run away 心はバラ色 夢の世界 kokoro wa bara iro yume no sekai My heart is rose-colored, a dream world 嘆きと背中合わせだ nageki to senaka awase da Back to back with grief 理屈など通用しない rikutsu nado tsûyô shinai Things like reason doesn’t apply 残酷な夢 zankoku na yume It’s a cruel dream 戻る道さえ失い modoru michi sae ushinai Losing even the way back 与え合い ataeai Granting 奪い合い ubaiai Struggling 落ちてゆく 深く ochite yuku fukaku Falling, deeply 落ちてゆく 深く ochite yuku fukaku Falling, deeply （目が欲しい） (me ga hoshii) (I want the eyes)
Oh wow there were songs from this musical I hadn't heard yet well then. Lucky me, though I'll need to find English lyrics to be able to fully appreciate them beyond just enjoying the sound of the music
