[English]

Wake up on day one

Morning of the first day

The light shines down

The gaze of the sun

That light burned me

That light blurred my eyes

But I go now, chasing my dreams

Dive into the red sun, no lie

Countless stars, countless moons

Wandering through a forest of questions

I followed that light in the darkness

You calling me beyond the horizon

Me, the one calling you

(To you) Arrows of fate in the rain

(To) The boundary inside me I've faced

(Free) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

My red eyes

(To you) Now I’ll turn the world upside down

(To) Step onto the sky

(Me) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

My white fangs

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I walk toward you

Connecting two worlds

My red eyes

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I walk toward you

Until I reach a new world

My white fangs

Behind me, thousands of doubts

Behind me, tens of thousands of distrusts

But I go now, chasing my dreams

Driving through questions of life

Between being given and claiming

Left at the crossroads of proof

We’ve waited for that sky

You calling me beyond the horizon

Me, the one calling you

(To you) Arrows of fate in the rain

(To) The boundary inside me I've faced

(Free) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

My red eyes

(To you) Now I’ll turn the world upside down

(To) Step onto the sky

(Me) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

My white fangs

Red blood (That crown)

That blood (Flowing blood)

Red blood

My fingertips stained with red

But I’m going to go

(To you) Arrows of fate in the rain

(To) The boundary inside me I've faced

(Free) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

My red eyes

(To you) Now I’ll turn the world upside down

(To) Step onto the sky

(Me) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

My white fangs

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I walk toward you

Connecting two worlds

My red eyes

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I walk toward you

Until I reach a new world

My white fangs

...

[Japanese]

Wake up in day one

첫날의 아침

조명이 비춰

태양의 눈빛

그 빛은 날 불태웠지

그 빛은 나의 눈 가렸지

But I go now, 꿈을 좇아

Dive into red sun, no lie

수많은 stars 수많은 달

질문의 숲속을 헤매던 나

어둠 속의 저 빛을 따라왔어

가는 선 너머의 날 부르는 너

널 부르는 나

(To you) 운명의 화살 비 속에서

(To) 마주한 내 안의 경계선

(Free) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

나의 붉은 눈빛

(To you) 난 이제 세상을 뒤집어

(To) 하늘에 내 발을 내디뎌

(Me) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

내 하얀 송곳니

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

난 너에게 걸어가지

두 세계를 연결하지

나의 붉은 눈빛

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

난 너에게 걸어가지

신세계에 닿을 때까지

내 하얀 송곳니

내 뒤엔 수천 개의 의심

내 뒤엔 수만 개의 불신

But I go now, 꿈을 좇아

Drive through the question for life

주어짐과 쟁취함 사이

증명의 기로 위 남겨진 나

저 하늘을 우린 기다려왔어

가는 선 너머의 날 부르는 너

널 부르는 나

(To you) 운명의 화살 비 속에서

(To) 마주한 내 안의 경계선

(Free) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

나의 붉은 눈빛

(To you) 난 이제 세상을 뒤집어

(To) 하늘에 내 발을 내디뎌

(Me) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

내 하얀 송곳니

Red blood (저 왕관에)

That blood (흐르는 피)

Red blood

널 향한 내 손끝은 붉은빛에 물들어만 가

But I'm gonna go

(To you) 운명의 화살 비 속에서

(To) 마주한 내 안의 경계선

(Free) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

나의 붉은 눈빛

(To you) 난 이제 세상을 뒤집어

(To) 하늘에 내 발을 내디뎌

(Me) Given or taken, ooh-oh-oh

내 하얀 송곳니

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

난 너에게 걸어가지

두 세계를 연결하지

나의 붉은 눈빛

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

난 너에게 걸어가지

신세계에 닿을 때까지

내 하얀 송곳니
