Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

太陽を朱く閉じ込めて

Trapping the sun in crimson

車輪は何処へ進む

Where do the wheels move?

混沌の吹き荒れる夜に

On a night raging with chaos

僕らの声が響いた

Our voices echoed

願いのあかりを灯して

Lighting the lamp of wishes

心は夢を脱ぎ捨てて

The heart sheds its dreams

白い道を行く

Walking the white path

昏い空には明け星が未来を

In the dark sky, the morning star points to the future

どうしても指して動かないから

It just won't move no matter what

優しく誘う昨日に手を振って

Gently waving goodbye to yesterday

僕らは泣いた

We cried

また走り出すため

To start running again

迷っても嘆いても生命は

Even if we wander and lament, life

明るい方へ手を伸ばすから

Reaches out towards the light

光を祈り空高く歌声

Praying for light, singing high in the sky

せめて君に届くように

At least to reach you

...

...

真実は勝ち残った後に

Truth remains after the battle

誰かが置いて行くもの

Something someone leaves behind

獰猛な獣が呼び合う

Fierce beasts call out to each other

世界は傷を重ね

The world layers its wounds

血の色に濡れた

Soaked in the color of blood

...

...

遠吠えが月を堕とす

The howl brings down the moon

常闇に潜む小さな花

A small flower lurking in eternal darkness

僕らは光を祈る手のひらで

With our palms praying for light

滅ぼし合ったり

We destroy each other

君を抱きしめたり

Or embrace you

...

...

願いが叶うその日まで

Until the day wishes come true

...

...

まだ紅に染まらない

Still not dyed in crimson

白い道を行く

Walking the white path

胸の中にある灯りが未来を

The light within my chest points to the future

どうしても指して消えないんだ

It just won't fade away

冷たく深く閉ざした心にも

Even in a heart cold and deeply shut

小さく強く

Small yet strong

輝き続けてる

It continues to shine

思い出よ 哀しみよ 僕らを

Memories, oh sorrow, send us

明るい方へ送り出してよ

Out towards the light

東の地平空高く明け星

In the eastern horizon, the morning star

遥か遠い道の上に

Above the faraway road

太陽を追いかけて

Chasing the sun

車輪は進む

The wheels move on

混沌の歌

A song of chaos

昏い空には明け星が静かに

In the dark sky, the morning star quietly

ただ一筋の光をくれた

Gave us just a single ray of light

...

...
