Listen to a 30-second sample of this song here.
It is surprisingly lighthearted.

The full version was broadcasted on radio. Here's the lyrics 2ch people wrote down by listening. Note that no official lyrics is out yet and there could be errors in this version.

世界の終りで生まれた光今風の中

綺麗事だけじゃ生きれない
優しさだけじゃ癒せない

奪われたのは何だ　変わらない世界で
聞こえてきたのは何だ　祝祭の歌

Everything ( )

砕け散った夢を明日の果てに響かせるように

世界の終りで生まれた光
僕ら一つに今風の中

他人事みたいに笑えない
寂しさだけが拭えない

勝ち取ったものは何だ　争いの果てに
聞こえてきたのは何だ　悲しき叫び

Everything （ ）

砕け散った夢を明日の果てに響かせるように

世界の終りで生まれた光
僕ら一つに今風の中

誰も泣かせないで　(　 　　　)
もう何もかも越えて

Everything ( )

あの日見た空を願いの先へ届かせるように
世界の始まり創造の朝に僕らは白い今風になろう

It sounds like GOOD END. Does that make any sense at all?

Also, it sorta sounds like a generic Naruto or Bleach opening, which is not exactly a bad thing.

Darn, not a COLORS-breaker...

I'm more excited about a new Kimura illustration than I am the song.

5-minute translation (take with grain of salt):

The light born at the end of the world in this modern age

Can't live with just pretty illusions
Can't be healed by kindness alone

What was taken away in this unchanging world
What did we hear but a festival's song

Everything ()

To let the shattered dream resonate at tomorrow's end

The light born at the end of the world
We become one in this modern age

Can't laugh as though it were someone else's problem
Only the loneliness can't be wiped away

What did we win at the end of the struggle
What did we hear but a sad cry

Everything ()

To let the shattered dream resonate at tomorrow's end

The light born at the end of the world
We become one in this modern age

Don't make anyone cry ( )
Surpassing everything

Everything ()

To send the sky we saw that day into the our wishes
Let us become the pale modern age in the dawn of creation at the beginning of the world

Cheerfulness of OP is probably not indicative of content of series. After all, Hitomi no Tsubasa was pretty upbeat too.

Corrected.

The light that was born at the world's end is now in the wind

I can't live just by whitewashing
I can't heal just by kindness

What was stolen? In an unchanging world
What did I hear? A festival song

Everything ( )

So that I can make shattered dreams echo to the edge of tomorrow

The light that was born at the world's end
We become one, now in the wind

I can't laugh like it's someone else's business
I only can't wipe away loneliness

What was won? At the end of struggle
What did I hear? A sad shout

Everything ( )

So that I can make shattered dreams echo to the edge of tomorrow

The light that was born at the world's end
We become one, now in the wind

Don't make anyone cry ( )
Overcome just about everything already

Everything ( )

So that I can send the sky that I saw on that day to ahead of my wishes
On the morning that creates the world's beginning, we now become the white wind

Hmm, I'm still debating if I like it or not. Good song, I just can't decide if it'll work for Geass or not.

Maybe once I see it with the animation sequence it'll grow on me.

Thanks for posting!!

Flow again?? Why??? Dear god no...
So, If I don't get Jinn on the ED or last episode OP or something, I'm going to be very dissapointed (I mean, Flow again?!!!)
