Mezame no Uta (目覚めの唄 lit. "Awakening Song") is the second opening theme of the Mushoku Tensei anime performed by Yuiko Ōhara. It was released as a digital single on March 15, 2021.
The song was first used in the anime as the opening theme song for Episode 10. The song does not have a special video-animation sequence for the credits as it is integrated into real-time scenes of the story, and varies for every episode.
Creditless opening videos for episodes 10 and 11 were included in the Blu-ray Chapter 2 release.
Lyrics[]
忘るる事はなかれと 大地を這うは いかづちの音
微睡む星も目覚めて 降り注ぐ矢の様に射る
息吹を与えしものの 還りを祈ろう
数えきれぬ闇夜に
巡る時を知らす この唄よ
絶えなくあなたに捧げましょう
枯れ果てた視界のわずかな涙も
望む日まで残して 残して
刹那に燃ゆる 火の粉を浴びて
生き抜けば 訪れ時
苦しき日々や憎しみも
輝く許しを得る
輪廻を渡る 星の子どもよ
定めに従えて
巡る時を知らす この唄よ
絶えなくあなたに捧げましょう
この世の真実に救いを問うたび
祈りを込めて
巡る時を知らす この唄よ
絶えなくあなたに捧げましょう
導きを待たずと遥かな過去から
Wasururu koto wa nakare to daichi wo hau wa ikazuchi mune
Madoromu hoshi mo mezamete furisosogu ya no you ni iru
Ibuki wo ataeshi mono no kaeri wo inorou
Kazoekirenu yamiyo ni
Meguru toki wo shirasu kono uta yo
Taenaku anata ni sasagemashou
Karehateta shikai no wazuka na namida mo
Nozomu hi made nokoshite nokoshite
Setsuna ni moyuru hinoko wo abite
Ikinukeba otozure toki
Kurushiki hibi ya nikushimi mo
Kagayaku yurushi wo eru
Rinne wo wataru hoshi no kodomo yo
Sadame ni shitagaete
Meguru toki wo shirasu kono uta yo
Taenaku anata ni sasagemashou
Konoyo no shinjitsu ni sukui wo tou tabi
Inori wo komete
Meguru toki wo shirasu kono uta yo
Taenaku anata ni sasagemashou
Michibiki wo matazu to haruka na kako kara
You must not forget, the sound of lightning crawling upon the earth.
The sleeping stars awaken as well, raining down like arrows.
In the uncountable dark nights let us pray for the return of the thing which gives us breath.
This song, which knows the of the revolving time, I will endlessly give to you.
The small tears in the dried up field of vision, I will leave them as well, I will leave them.
Burn in an instant, bathe in the grains of fire,
If you survive, in the coming time,
The days of suffering and the hatred as well, you will receive the shining permission.
You will cross the endless cycle of life and death, child of the stars,
Follow your fate.
This song, which knows of the revolving time, I will endlessly give to you.
When you ask for saving from the truth of this world,
Make a prayer.
This song, which knows of the revolving time, I will endlessly give to you.
