Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

朱らむ空が 今日はこんなに怖い

The crimson sky is so frightening today

知らなければ 幸せでいられた?

Could I have stayed happy if I hadn't known?

暖かい灯火一つまた落ちる

One warm light flickers and goes out again

こうやって知らぬ間に失っていた

Without even realizing it, I lost it like this

あの優しい声 信じてしまったの

I believed that gentle voice

僕にはそれだけだった

That was all I had

心失くせば楽になれるなんて

They say you can feel at ease by losing your heart,

そんなの嘘そのまま壊れちゃう

But that's a lie, it just breaks apart

甘い闇嘆いても助けは来ない

Mourning in this sweet darkness won't bring help

「愛してくれ」なんてね 今更

Saying 'Love me' now, it's too late

動けもつれる足

My trembling legs won't move

この檻を抜けろ

Break out of this cage

明日をつかむために

To grasp tomorrow

絶望を駆け抜けろ

Run through the despair

...

...

ほとばしる汗と燃える心で

With pouring sweat and a burning heart

...

...

確かに僕らは意志を持って生きてる

Surely, we are alive with intent

こうやって狙ってる

That's what we're aiming for

諦めはしない

We won't give up

感度を高めて

Raise our sensitivity

じっくりやればいい

Take our time and do it right

切り開け着実に

Cut through steadily

時が証明するだろう

Time will prove it

...

...
