Music: Ueno Koji (上野耕路)
“Zekkai” is a song released by GUERNICA and included on their second album Shinseiki e no Unga as track #14.
Far, far beyond the Eight Ship Routes
Abalone shells with sleeping boats
Diatom foams, slipping through the tides
Metronome of waves, counting the dreamy beats
Invited by warm currents, I drifted on and on
At last, I wandered afar
Towards the endless edge of the ocean
The Lone Ocean, where the earth ceases
The Lone Ocean, a timeless blissful land
Far, far beyond the Seven Seas
Rays of sun fall upon the village of light
Island of solitude surrounded by vibrant corals
Rainbow-colored butterflies dances
Flowers sing, pouring out their honey
Children with golden eyes
fall asleep with pearls in their arms
The Lone Ocean, a paradise of deities
The Lone Ocean, a timeless blissful land

English translation of the lyrics by me:
