Tsukiru (尽きる), often translated as "Exhausted", is the Japanese version of Drakengard's main theme, composed by Nobuyoshi Sano. It plays during the B ending credits. A rearranged version of the song plays during the credits of Drakengard 3's C ending, called Tsukiru 3.

This version is performed by Furiae's voice actress, Eriko Hatsune. The lyrics were written by Sawako Natori; the words are meant to express Furiae's thoughts during the events of Drakengard. Its English counterpart slightly changes the lyrics' meanings and, while it is relatively close to the original lyrics, it is generally seen as the milder version with the Japanese fanbase.

Japanese[]

紅い夜 鳥眠る
夢の窓 青空映す
わらべ唄口ずさみ
漫ろゆく 草原を
『祈りは 貴方の面影やどし
魂いろどる想いをはこぶ
翼を生やし 愛から逃げて
天使が割った奇妙な皿の上で燃えて尽きる』
黒い朝 時間を告げる
汚れ血よ 森還れ
闇を掘る どこまでも
辿りつく断頭台
『祈りは 貴方の面影やどし
魂いろどる想いをはこぶ
翼を生やし 愛から逃げて
天使が割った奇妙な皿の上で燃えて尽きる』

English Translation[]

In the crimson night, the bird sleeps
unleashed to the sky from the window of dreams
A lullaby wafts from its lips
Instinctively it flies to barren grasslands
"My prayers always center on your face
Paint away my soul to carry my feelings away
I give birth to these wings to run away from love
The angel's price is paid, I burn atop a bizarre plate, burn to nothingness, burn away"
Time heralds in the blackened morning
Corrupted blood returns to the forest
Darkness digs everywhere thinkable
to arrive at last to the guillotine
"My prayers always center on your face
Paint away my soul to carry my feelings away
I give birth to these wings to run away from love
The angel's price is paid, I burn atop a bizarre plate, burn to nothingness, burn away"
