[English]

I howl— even if I'm covered in blood and mud, I want to protect.

Even on this revolutionary road, I'm crazy about you.

I found it in a world soaked in darkness.

A sentimental love.

A sweet, muddy stare.

It's troubling because it has an odd allure.

I want to gather the courage to hold your hand.

If I stay aware of my limits, I couldn't do it.

A secret dripping down the wall of a dark tunnel.

A quietly racing heart.

No, no… hold on, hold on…

I want to embrace even curses and illness.

I wonder if it's okay to go wild around here.

Ah, I howl— even if I'm covered in blood and mud, I want to protect.

Even on this revolutionary road, I'm crazy about you.

I found it in a world soaked in darkness.

A sentimental love.

(No, no… hold on, hold on…)

I just want to stay by your side, no matter what.

I even end up hoping for you, clumsy as you are.

If I cling to the fire that's about to go out.

Can I get closer, with love's claws out?

I'll let myself go, be embraced, even if it means losing everything.

A quietly racing heart.

No, no… hold on, hold on…

If I'm with you, even curses and illness.

I wonder if it's okay to go wild around here.

Ah, I could cry; I won't leave until I'm left speechless.

Even on this revolutionary road, I'm crazy about you.

I found it in the gap of a drifting journey.

A sentimental love.

If we push ahead, together.

Even on this revolutionary road, I'm absorbed in the dream.

No, no… hold on, hold on…

I want to embrace even curses and illness.

It's okay to go wild around here, right?

Even if I'm scared, I’ll roar; even if I'm covered in blood and mud, I want to protect.

Even on this revolutionary road, I'm crazy about you.

I found it in a world soaked in darkness.

A sentimental love.

[Japanese]

唸るぜ 血泥ついたって守りたい

革命道中だって君に夢中

暗闇染み込む世界で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋

甘くぬかるんだ眼差し

変に色気あるから困った

手を繋ぐ勇気出したくて

身の程わきまえてちゃ出来ないね

暗いトンネルの壁 したたり落ちる秘密

しめやかに高鳴る心

ダメダメ... 待て待て...

呪いも病も抱きしめたい

ここらで暴れちゃってもいいかな

あぁ 唸るぜ 血泥ついたって守りたい

革命道中だって 君に夢中

暗闇染み込む世界で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋

（ダメダメ... 待て待て...）

なりふり構わず側にいたい

不器用な君にも期待しちゃうよ

しがみつけば 消えそうな火に

恋の爪立てて近づいてもいい？

身を任せ 抱かれて 全て失ってもいい

しめやかに高鳴る心

ダメダメ... 待て待て...

呪いも病も君となら

ここらで暴れちゃってもいいかな

あぁ 泣けるぜ 絶句しちゃうまで離れない

革命道中だって君に夢中

揺蕩う旅の狭間で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋

突き進むなら 二人で

革命道中だって夢に熱中

ダメダメ... 待て待て...

呪いも病も抱きしめたい

ここらで暴れちゃってもいいよね

怖くたって唸るぜ 血泥ついたって守りたい

革命道中だって 君に夢中

暗闇染み込む世界で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋
