In May 2008, the name of four singers was revealed. They are Wakana and Keiko (these two are from the FictionJunction project), and the other two are Maya and Hikaru. Maya and Hikaru were chosen from an audition of 30,000 participants held by Sony Music and Kajiura Yuki.

Kurayami no naka de mutsumiau
Zetsubou to mirai o
Kanashimi o abaku tsukiakari
Tsumetaku terashiteta
---
The moonlight, which exposes sadness
Coldly illuminated
Despair and the future
That are friendly with each other within the darkness

Kimi no kureta himitsu o shirube ni
Aoi yoru no shizukesa o yuku
---
Turning the secret that you gave me into a sign
I go through the silence of the pale night

Lacrimosa
Tooku kudakete kieta
Mabushii sekai o mou ichido aishitai
Hitomi no naka ni yume o kakushite
Yogoreta kokoro ni
Namida ga ochite kuru made
---
Lacrimosa
Once more, I want to love the glaringly bright world
That shattered in the distance and vanished
Hide your dream in your eyes
Until tears come falling
Onto your sullied heart

Maboroshi no basha wa yami o wake
Hikari no aru hou e
Yume to iu wana ga boku-tachi o
Homura e izanau
---
The phantom carriage parts the darkness
And goes toward where the light is
The trap known as dreams
Lures us toward the flames

Sora no ue no mujihi na kamigami ni wa
Donna sakebi mo todoki wa shinai
Lacrimosa…
---
No shout of any sort will reach
The merciless gods above the sky
Lacrimosa…

Bokura wa moesakaru takigi to nari
Itsuka sono sora o yakitsukusou
---
We’ll be the blazing firewood
And seem to burn away the sky someday

Lacrimosa
Koko ni umarete ochita
Chinureta sekai o osorezu ni aishitai
Yurusareru yori yurushi shinjite
Yogoreta chijou de
Namida no hibi o kazoete
---
Lacrimosa
I want to fearlessly love the blood-soaked world
That I was born in
Rather than being forgiven, forgive and believe in me
Count the number of lachrymose days
On the sullied earth
