Analysis of ABIKU
A swinging lantern
Student of the upside down
Descendant of sorrow
And pendulum happiness
We all know you
The one who we call awful names
Thanks to you we now have a river
At our doorstep
Do awful names really suite you?
Do our tears pleases you?
Why can't we celebrate you
Once or never
Our heart is sinking
Our eyes are heavy
Most we suffer too much pain
In the hand of the one we are yet to know?
