さぁ 忘れましょう その未来が また 血ぬられてゆくなんて なまぬるい風 とぐろを巻いたら それがたぶん 合図抜け出してって 抜け出してって 悲しすぎる運命から あなたは 奈落の花じゃない そんな場所で 咲かないで 咲かないで からめとられて行かないで 音もなく飛び交う 時のかけら
Saa wasuremashou sono mirai ga Mata chinurarete yuku nante Namanurui kaze toguro maitara Sorega tabun aizuNukedashitette nukedashitette Kanashi sugiru unmei kara Anata wa naraku no hana janai Sonna basho de Sakanaide sakanaide Karametorarete ikanaide Oto mo naku tobikau toki no kakera [1]
Come, let us forget that future Will be soaked in blood yet again When tepid winds coil into spiral That could well be... a signBreak away, break away From a fate that's much too tragic You're not a flower from the abyss That's no place for you To bloom, to bloom Don't let yourself get ensnared Fragments of time flitter about without sound [1]

Full Version

Kanji Rōmaji Translated
さぁ 忘れましょう その未来が
また 血ぬられてゆくなんて
なまぬるい風 とぐろを巻いたら
それがたぶん 合図
Saa wasuremashou sono mirai ga
Mata chinurarete yuku nante
Namanurui kaze toguro o maitara
Sore ga tabun aizu
Come, let’s forget that the future
Will be smeared in blood again
If the tepid wind winds in coils
It’s probably a sign
抜け出してって 抜け出してって
悲しすぎる運命から
あなたは 奈落の花じゃない
そんな場所で
咲かないで 咲かないで
からめとられて行かないで
Nukedashitette nukedashitette
Kanashisugiru unmei kara
Anata wa naraku no hana ja nai
Sonna basho de
Sakanaide sakanaide
Karametorarete ikanaide
Escape and break free, escape and break free
From your far too sad destiny
You’re not the flower of hell
At such a place
Don’t bloom, don’t bloom
You mustn’t get caught
音もなく飛び交う 時のかけら
Oto mo naku tobikau toki no kakera
The pieces of time flutter about soundlessly
誰がこの手を にぎっているの?
誰がこの髪を なでているの?
今泣いていた もえぎの中で
感じてる 合図
Dare ga kono te o nigitte iru no?
Dare ga kono kami o nadete iru no?
Ima naite ita moegi no naka de
Kanjiteru aizu
Who is gripping onto my hand?
Who is stroking my hair?
Just now, I was crying; within the sapling
I feel a sign
飛び越えてって 飛び越えてって
運命のはぐるまから
あなたは 奈落の花じゃない
そんな場所で
散らないで 散らないで
そして種を残さないで
Tobikoetette tobikoetette
Unmei no haguruma kara
Anata wa naraku no hana ja nai
Sonna basho de
Chiranaide chiranaide
Soshite tane o nokosanaide
Fly away, fly away
From the wheel of destiny
You’re not the flower of hell
At such a place
Don’t scatter, don’t scatter
And don’t leave behind a seed
芽を出せばふたたび廻るカルマ
Me o daseba futatabi mawaru karuma
If it sprouts, then karma will cycle again
抜け出してって 抜け出してって
悲しすぎる運命から
あなたは 奈落の花じゃない
そんな場所で
咲かないで 咲かないで
からめとられて行かないで
Nukedashitette nukedashitette
Kanashisugiru unmei kara
Anata wa naraku no hana ja nai
Sonna basho de
Sakanaide sakanaide
Karametorarete ikanaide
Escape and break free, escape and break free
From your far too sad destiny
You’re not the flower of hell
At such a place
Don’t bloom, don’t bloom
You mustn’t get caught
音もなく飛び交う 時のかけら
Oto mo naku tobikau toki no kakera
The pieces of time flutter about soundlessly

Trivia

  • Similar to the anime's first season opening theme, you can hear a chant in the song sequence with the word Nigerarenai (逃げられない, "you cannot escape"). The chant is a direct reversal of the chant in the previous season's opening theme. This interesting fact seems quite appropriate as the first season consisted of question arcs, and the chant seemed to hold no meaning whatsoever, but the second season contained the subsequent answer arcs, and hence, the true meaning of the chant is revealed to the viewers when it is reversed.
