[English]

...

Running through the dark night, where are we headed?

Only the moonlight

Serves as our single guide.

Pain and sorrow won’t fade, but the flame in our hearts will never die.

For each other’s sake, we

Thread this feeling together,

Under the light that pierces the darkness,

Until the day the light shines through.

Oh, the fire that lodged in our freed hearts,

Rise up, embrace it,

To the other side of the dawn now,

Until I can love this world with you once more.

Even if my life ends, let’s stay connected.

The miracle born from the bonds we’ve woven.

...

Dreams rise and fall,

This fleeting world flickers,

Brandishing each other’s righteousness

Again and again in repetition.

Lives connected for each other’s sake,

Even fate’s entanglements follow.

The path of evil, countless sins,

Wash it all away.

Release it now,

The fire we’ve left behind,

Rise up and run,

Tomorrow will surely change.

In this world with you,

I’ll never let go again.

I’ll go with you,

Even with my eyes closed,

I remember that day.

Even if I’m blinded,

I long for the future,

Someday I’ll

Show it to you.

...

In our freed hearts,

The fire that lodged,

Rise up, embrace it,

To the other side of the dawn now.

Release it now,

The fire we’ve left behind,

Rise up and run,

Tomorrow will surely change.

In this world where you were,

Until I can love it once more,

Even if my life ends,

Let’s stay connected.

The miracle born from the bonds we’ve woven.

...
