- "We will open the door to tomorrow."
- ―The souls of the Third Period[src]
Song of the Third Period is a song released by Akuno-P on August 10, 2018 on the Clockwork Lullaby album. It is the twelfth Clockwork Lullaby, and is sung by the souls in the Third Period, led by Michaela as they prepare to move on to the next world.
Plot
After the creation of the Fourth Period, the souls from the Third Period start to gather in the Millennium Tree Forest in preparation to move onto the new world. Upon Michaela's encouragement, they begin singing about how, even as time continues to move on and their new journey awaits, they will surely be changed someday. They continue that, in spite of all the pain they might and have experienced, it is part of who they are; even if they don't know what awaits them in the Fourth Period, they will press on without needing a "utopia".
Lyrics
第三の月 大樹に集い
今こそ歌いましょう
るりら るりら
君に届くように
流れる時はいつも僕らに
旅立ち急かすけど
それはいつか
君を強く変える
胸の中 高鳴る鼓動
僕らのぜんまいは止まらない
るりらるりら るりらるりら
この唄声が
るりらるりら るりらるりら
響く限り
眠りは覚め 夢はきっと現実になる
開く明日への扉
桜舞う中 大地踏みしめ
みんなで歌いましょう
るりら るりら
空に届くように
悲しい事や辛い思い出
たくさんあるけれど
それも含め
僕らの歩くんだ道
胸の奥 宿るぜんまい
これからは自分で回すんだ
るりらるりら るりらるりら
この唄声が
るりらるりら るりらるりら
響く限り
扉の先 何が待ち受けているのかも
わからないまま進む
立ちふさがり続ける現実が
時に僕らを傷つけるだろう
それでも だからこそ
人は懸命に生きる
世界は理想郷じゃなくてもいい
胸の中 高鳴る鼓動
僕らのぜんまいは止まらない
るりらるりら るりらるりら
この唄声が
るりらるりら るりらるりら
響く限り
眠りは覚め 夢はきっと現実になる
開く明日への扉

Under the third moon, gathered around a great tree
Let’s sing now
Lu li la lu li la
So that it might reach you
The flowing time always urges us
Along on our journey
But someday
That will strongly change you
This quickly pounding beat in our chests
Our springs won’t stop
Lu li la lu li la lu li la lu li la
As long as our singing voices
Lu li la lu li la lu li la lu li la
Resound
We will wake from our sleep and the dream will surely become reality
We will open the door to tomorrow
Stepping firmly on the ground as cherry blossom petals fly around us
Let’s all sing together
Lu li la lu li la
So that it might reach the sky
There are a lot of sad things
And a lot of painful memories
But that too
Is part of the path we will walk
These springs deep in our chests
From here on out we will turn them ourselves
Lu li la lu li la lu li la lu li la
As long as our singing voices
Lu li la lu li la lu li la lu li la
Resound
Without knowing what lies in wait beyond the door
We will push forward
The reality that continues to stand in our way
May wound us every now and then
Even so, it is for that reason
That people live with all they are
The world doesn’t need to be a utopia
This quickly pounding beat in our chests
Our springs won’t stop
Lu li la lu li la lu li la lu li la
As long as our singing voices
Lu li la lu li la lu li la lu li la
Resound
We will wake from our sleep and the dream will surely become reality
We will open the door to tomorrow
