[English]

Monochrome land, even the day after tomorrow is dark

Tense atmosphere, stacked ice blocks

Follow the lead, that's what I was told

A happiness that's all the same

Before I knew it, even my breath had frozen

Here in the middle of thick ice

A heart's shell that’s closed up somewhere along the way

The pressure of expectations is bouncing all around

My heartbeat questions myself

A towering, huge wall

Who am I crossing it for?

oh oh oh oh

Seeking myself

More than the ordinary answer

Only one true answer

oh oh oh oh

And choosing it is nobody but myself

Towards a future only here can hold

The vague outline of tomorrow

Pieces I collected are now mismatched

The unseen injustices lurking in the world

Illuminated by the sun

A passionate flame burning in my chest

Here in the middle of thick ice

A heart’s shell dampened with steam

Light seeping out, bouncing all around

Lighting up everything in this universe

A towering, huge wall

Who am I crossing it for?

oh oh oh oh

Seeking myself

No matter what I carry

The life in my hands

oh oh oh oh

And nobody but myself is the one to decide

Towards a future only you hold

A narrow world, a lid closing it

Withered dreams tangled in vines

Deep fog shouting now

Blow everything away, like a Blizzard

Break the ice, break the ice, break the ice now

Break the ice, break the ice, break the ice now

Break the ice, break the ice, break the ice now

Break the ice, break the ice, break the ice now

A towering, huge wall

Who am I crossing it for?

oh oh oh oh

Seeking myself

More than the ordinary answer

Only one true answer

oh oh oh oh

And nobody but myself is the one to decide

Towards a future only here can hold

The story continues

...

[Chinese]

単色の大地 明後日も暗い

はりつめた大気 並ぶ氷塊

右に倣え そう教えられて

似たような幸せ

気づけば呼吸まで凍りつく

ここは分厚い氷の真ん中

いつからか閉ざした心の殻

期待を詰め込む圧が乱反射

鼓動が己に問いただす

そびえる巨大な壁

越えるのは誰のため

oh oh oh oh

自分を目指して

ありふれた正解より

ひとつだけの答えを

oh oh oh oh

選ぶのは他の誰でもないのさ

ここにしかない未来へ

ぼんやりしていた明日の輪郭

集めたピースも今じゃチグハグ

世にはびこる見えない不条理を

照らし出す太陽

この胸にたぎる熱い炎

ここは分厚い氷の真ん中

水蒸気に湿る心の殻

滲み出てきた光が乱反射

この宇宙のすべてを照らす

そびえる巨大な壁

越えるのは誰のため

oh oh oh oh

自分を目指して

何を背負っていたって

その手の中の人生

oh oh oh oh

決めるのは他の誰でもないのさ

君にしかない未来へ

狭い世界 塞ぐ蓋

枯れた夢 絡む蔦

深い霧 叫ぶ今

すべて吹き飛ばす Like a Blizzard

Break the ice break the ice break the ice now

Break the ice break the ice break the ice now

Break the ice break the ice break the ice now

Break the ice break the ice break the ice now

そびえる巨大な壁

越えるのは誰のため

oh oh oh oh

自分を目指して

ありふれた正解より

ひとつだけの答えを

oh oh oh oh

選ぶのは他の誰でもないのさ

ここにしかない未来へ

物語は続いてく
