What Goes Around Comes Around

三度目の争いが起こった世界を真っ二つにする程の大きな事件さ

二年間に渡る攻防大量の火薬で全てを焼き尽くしたイフリート

良い国と悪い国が戦っていてパパは正しいと信じている子供達

泥棒達を捕まえる正義の味方緑色の屋根の家に住む男のドラマ

保安官バッチを付けて縫い包みのコメカミにオモチャのピストルを突き付けた後

にっこりと笑った眼の大きな可愛いブロンド髪の少年

彼が泥棒役に選んだ縫い包みの生地は敵国の国旗で

息子に送り出された男は戦闘機のパイロット

最高の憧れを抱く息子にもらった保安官バッチを胸に付けて基地に向かう

一気に下る坂道その道のりも撃退のシミュレーションをする男の表情はすでに一人の兵士で

現地で出撃前に作戦の全貌が告げられた進められた計画の最後を飾る奇襲作戦の先導

成功を胸に戸惑いよりも大役に抜擢された事による使命感に男は燃えている

What Goes Around Comes Around

作戦当日任務で使用するのは機体に「GOOD LUCK」と書かれた鋼鉄の戦闘機

先頭に出てゆっくりとだが確実に高度を上げる

焦ることも無く敵国上空を旋回不意になぜか息子の横顔が横切る

落ち着くため深く深呼吸してスムーズに最後のボタンを押した

作戦は驚くほど簡単に成功辺り一面を火の海に変えて

加えて敵国中心部に致命的な大打撃を与え

仲間達は「素晴らしい」とその功績を称えた

彼抱えた重荷がとれ安堵の笑みを浮かべるに罪悪感なんて物はもう無いさ

後悔が頭をかすめたのも一瞬でもう破壊した町の名前すらも覚えちゃいない

作戦終了後無事帰還した彼には富、名声、地位が用意され

「もういらねぇ」と息子にもらった保安官バッチを胸から剥ぎ取りゴミ箱へ

とりわけ優秀な兵士だけがもらえるらしい金色のバッチに付け替えた

彼のバッチの中には無数の小さな星が埋め込まれていて

制圧した都市の規模でその数が決まるらしい

What Goes Around Comes Around

その日の夜警報が鳴り響いた戦況はほぼ勝利が確定していた中で起きた不意の出来事

敵国が最後に全勢力を集結して仕掛けてきたのは同じ奇襲作戦攻撃を受けたのは男の住む町で

急いで帰るとそこに家は無く緑色の屋根の残骸だけが黒く焼け焦げた瓦棟に姿を変えていた

見覚えのある家具の一部分が散らばる

息子が大切にしていたオモチャは粉々に壊れている中何故かあの縫い包みだけが焼けずに残っていて

眠れないまま次の日のニュースで家族の死を確認した

絶望の淵で微かにニュースキャスターが読み上げる次の記事が聞こえる

「本日我が国ハ戦争ニ勝利シマシタ」それと同時に敵国の映像が流れる

そこに映し出されたのは男が攻撃して制圧した町の姿

画面に泣きながら父親を探す息子と同い年くらいの子供の映像

その男の子の顔はどことなくあの縫い包みに似ていて

目は大きくて・・・息子にそっくりで・・・息子にそっくりで・・・

ブラウン管越しにその少年と目が合った瞬間胸のバッチの輝きが鈍くなった

バッチの中の星の数は中の星の数は殺した人間の数さ

What Goes Around Comes Around

奪った命の数さ・・・零れた涙の数さ・・・

Baby・・・もし神様が居るなら中指を立てるぜ・・・

無駄に大きな皺だらけの荷物をありがとうって・・・

正義と正義の戦いじゃない・・・悪と悪の戦いだ・・・

勝った方も負けた方もいつも・・・いつだって傷ついてるのは弱い者じゃないか・・・

近所の公園も・・・ラベンダー畑も・・・気に入っていたスニーカーも・・・

毎月来てたキミからの手紙も・・・家族との写真も・・・

みんな燃えちゃったんだ・・・もう元には戻せない・・・

空は雲に話しかけるのに・・・海は波に話しかけるのに・・・

森は木々に話しかけるのに・・・人間だけが孤独に破壊を繰り返してる・・・

シマウマの群れが言ってたぜ・・・また大きな地震を起こすって・・・

鯨達が話していたよ・・・また大きな津波を起こすって・・・

鳥達が噂してるのを聞いた・・・

虫達が喋っているのを聞いたよ・・・

華達が囁いてるのを聞いたんだ・・・

What Goes Around Comes Around

The third war happened, an event big enough to split the world in half

Offense and defense for over two years, fleets that burned through tons of gunpowder

Good countries and bad countries fighting, children that think that Papa is right:

A champion of justice who will catch the crooks. A Drama of a man in living in a green-roofed house.

After pointing a toy gun at the stuffed animal with a police badge stuck on it,

A cute, blonde haired boy with large eyes laughed sweetly.

The cloth of the stuffed animal he chose to be the crook is the enemy nation's flag.

This boy's father was sent out as an aircraft pilot

He pins on the police badge he received from his son who holds him in the highest aspirations and turns toward their base

Descending the hill road in one go, the face of the man on the offense simulations is already that of a soldier

He was told the strategy of the sortie at the actual location, as the leader of the sneak attack that would let the grand plan continue

Success in his chest. Rather than confusion, the sense of duty from being chosen was getting him fired up

What Goes Around Comes Around

The day of the operation. The steel plane chosen for the task had "GOOD LUCK" written on the fuselage

Leaving on the vanguard slowly, but reliably rising in elevation.

Circling enemy skies without losing his cool, abruptly with no reason why, his son's face crossed his mind.

Taking deep breaths to calm himself he smoothly pressed the last button.

The operation was surprisingly successful, as far as one could see the sea turned to fire.

In addition, a serious blow was dealt to the heart of the enemy country.

His fellows said "Wonderful" and extolled his achievement.

His burden became a smile of relief on his face, and he didn't even feel guilt anymore.

Regret flitting though his head only for an instant; he didn't even remember the name of the town he demolished.

After the operation he was sent home and wealth, fame, and social standing were prepared for him.

"Don't need this no more" as he throws the police badge he received from his son in the trash.

Replacing it with the golden badge he received for preeminent honor among soldiers.

Embedded in his badge were innumerable tiny stars,

The number seemingly decided by the number of conquered towns.

What Goes Around Comes Around

That night an alarm roared out. Just as victory was almost decided in the war, an unforeseen incident:

At the end, the enemy country amassed its forces and executed a similar sneak attack to the one it received, on the man's town.

Hurriedly rushing home, to find it gone. The wreckage of the green-roofed house had been transformed to a black and burnt structure of tile.

Pieces of furniture he recognized were strewn about.

Out of all the toys his son had loved that were now broken and in pieces, for some reason only the stuffed animal was left unburned.

Sleepless, the death of his family was confirmed in the news the next day...

From the depths of his despair a newscaster could be faintly heard reading aloud the next news story:

"Our country has won two victories in the war" and with it an image of the enemy country was shown.

Projected there was the scene of the town the man had attacked and conquered.

On the screen was a boy about the same age as the boy the father was searching for while weeping.

That boy's face somehow resembled the face of the stuffed animal.

Large eyes.... just like his son... just like his son...

The moment his eyes met the eyes of the boy in the CRT, the brilliance of the badge on his chest dulled.

The number of stars on the badge.... the number of stars was the number of people killed!

What Goes Around Comes Around

The number of snatched lives... the number of spilled tears...

Baby... If God exists he's giving us the middle finger...

Saying thanks for the needlessly large, wrinkled luggage...

It's not a fight of justice vs. justice... it's a fight of evil vs. evil

For both the winner and the losers always... hasn't it always been the weak people that get hurt...

The neighborhood park... and the lavender fields... and the sneakers he liked...

And the letters that came every month from you... and the family photos...

Everything burned... it can't be recovered.

The sky talks to the clouds but... the ocean talks to the waves but...

The forest talks to all the trees but... only humanity repeats its lonely destruction.

The herd of zebra were saying.... that another big earthquake was going to happen...

The whales said... another big tsunami was going to happen...

I listened to the birds' gossiping...

I listened to the bugs chattering...

I listened to the flowers murmuring...
