In the Cradle of the World Terrace
--In the Hands of the World--

Translation by Ayu Ohseki
Why the love and hatred of fate?
Why the slaughter and cruelty of destiny?
Heaven's decree has yet to show its form
In the hands of the world
Why the christening as family of fate?
Why the absence and isolation of destiny?
Heaven's decree has yet to show its form
In the hands of the world
Shouldering a destiny harsher than death
In the flow of time unable to come to a halt
You are I are already the everything of nothing
Regardless, we are in the flow of breathing time
Why the birth and prodigality of fate?
Why the life on death's door of destiny?
Heaven's decree has yet to show its form
In the hands of the world
Why the lost nature of fate?
Why the temporal desert of destiny?
Heaven's decree has yet to show its form
In the hands of the world
The cradle of breath, All Things over a long distance
In the flow of time unable to come to a halt
Movement, circulation, in other words, inaction
Regardless, we are in the flow of breathing time
Ah, over the world's palms
We are isolated and among several millions
Only that time
Only that moment
Only just waiting for it
Only while waiting for it
Only waiting for it
In the hands of the world
In the hands of the world
Cradled in the Grave of the World
- In the Hands of the World

Translation by Verthandi
Why a fate of love and hatred?
Why a destiny of massacre, cruelty?
Providence does not now reveal its face
In the Hands of the World
Why a fate of love and hatred?
Why a destiny of massacre, cruelty?
Providence does not now reveal its face
In the Hands of the World
Why a fate of love and hatred?
Why a destiny of massacre, cruelty?
Providence does not now reveal its face
In the Hands of the World
Why a fate of love and hatred?
Why a destiny of massacre, cruelty?
Providence does not now reveal its face
In the Hands of the World
Why the lost nature of fate?
Why the temporal desert of destiny?
Providence does not now reveal its face
In the Hands of the World
The cradle of breath; all Creation, distant
In time's unceasing stream
Motion, flow; namely stillness
Although we breath in the stream of time
Ah, in the Hands of the World
We the lonely, how many millions
Only for that time,
Only for that moment,
We wait;
As we wait,
We are waiting
In the Hands of the World
In the Hands of the World

Naze shukumei no ai to nikushimi
Naze unmei no satsuriku, muzan

Naze shukumei no nadzuke, kazoku

Shinu yori tsurai unmei seoi
Tomaru mo dekinu toki no nagare ni
Anata to watashi ha sude ni inai no subete
Nanoni ikidzuku toki no nagare ni
Naze shukumei no tanjou, houtou
Naze unmei no shisen jinsei

Naze shukumei no wasururu shizen
Naze unmei no jikan sabaku

なぜ宿命の愛と憎しみ
なぜ運命の殺戮、無残
天命いまだ姿見せず
イン・ザ・ハンズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド
なぜ宿命の名付け、家族
なぜ運命の不在、孤独
天命いまだ姿見せず
イン・ザ・ハンズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド
死ぬよりつらい運命背負い
止まるもできぬ時の流れに
あなたとわたしはすでに不在(いない)のすべて
なのに息づく時の流れに
なぜ宿命の誕生、放蕩
なぜ運命の死線人生
天命いまだ姿見せず
イン・ザ・ハンズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド
なぜ宿命の忘るる自然
なぜ運命の時間砂漠
天命いまだ姿見せず
イン・ザ・ハンズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド
呼吸の揺籠 万物千里
止まるもできぬ時の流れに
運動、流動すなわち無動
なのに息づく時の流れに
あゝ、世界の手のひらの上に
我らが孤独、幾百万
ただその時を
ただその瞬間を
ただ待つだけの
ただ待ちながら
ただ待っている
イン・ザ・ハンズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド
イン・ザ・ハンズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド
