Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

強くなれる理由を知った 僕を連れて進め

I found the reason to become strong, so take me and move forward

...

...

泥だらけの走馬灯に酔う こわばる心

Drunk on a muddy revolving lantern, my heart stiffens

震える手は掴みたいものがある それだけさ

My trembling hands want to grasp something, that's all

夜の匂いに (I'll spend all thirty nights)

In the scent of the night (I'll spend all thirty nights)

空睨んでも (Staring into the sky)

Even if I stare at the sky (Staring into the sky)

変わっていけるのは自分自身だけ それだけさ

The only one who can change is myself, that's all

強くなれる理由を知った 僕を連れて進め

I found the reason to become strong, so take me and move forward

どうしたって！

No matter what!

消せない夢も 止まれない今も

The dreams I can't erase, the present I can't stop

誰かのために強くなれるなら

If I can become strong for someone else

ありがとう 悲しみよ

Thank you, sadness

世界に打ちのめされて 負ける意味を知った

Beaten down by the world, I learned the meaning of losing

紅蓮の華よ咲き誇れ！ 運命を照らして

Oh, crimson flower, bloom proudly! Illuminate my fate

...

...

イナビカリの雑音が耳を刺す 戸惑う心

The noise of thunder pierces my ears, my heart is confused

優しいだけじゃ守れないものがある？ わかってるけど

Is there something that can't be protected just by being gentle? I know, but

水面下で絡まる善悪 透けて見える偽善に天罰

Good and evil intertwine beneath the surface, transparent hypocrisy brings divine punishment

Tell me why, Tell me why, Tell me why, Tell me...

Tell me why, Tell me why, Tell me why, Tell me...

I don't need you!

I don't need you!

逸材の花より 挑み続け咲いた一輪が美しい

A single flower that continues to challenge is more beautiful than a gifted one

乱暴に敷き詰められた トゲだらけの道も

Even the rough, thorny path laid out before me

本気の僕だけに現れるから 乗り越えてみせるよ

Only appears for the serious me, so I'll overcome it

簡単に片付けられた 守れなかった夢も

The dreams I couldn't protect, easily dismissed

紅蓮の心臓に根を生やし この血に宿って

Rooted in the crimson heart, dwelling in this blood

...

...

人知れず儚い 散りゆく結末

Unnoticed, fleeting, the ending that scatters

無情に破れた 悲鳴の風吹く

Ripped apart mercilessly, the wind carries screams

誰かの笑う影 誰かの泣き声

The shadow of someone's laughter, the voice of someone's tears

誰もが幸せを願ってる

Everyone wishes for happiness

どうしたって！

No matter what!

消せない夢も 止まれない今も

The dreams I can't erase, the present I can't stop

誰かのために強くなれるなら

If I can become strong for someone else

ありがとう 悲しみよ

Thank you, sadness

世界に打ちのめされて 負ける意味を知った

Beaten down by the world, I learned the meaning of losing

紅蓮の華よ咲き誇れ！ 運命を照らして

Oh, crimson flower, bloom proudly! Illuminate my fate

...

...

運命を照らして

Illuminate my fate

...

...
