[English]

Under pressure, you're waiting for guidance

Walking down the road without your mind

Everyone misleads and ignores all our choices

Killing your soul inside, we carry it within

You're the only one I'm waiting for

We can start right here, right now

Fear and circulation

But I'm ready now

Let's struggle and silence the world before it fades away

Raise your flag

With all my voice

With all my voice

Shout with all your might

Surely someday

Somewhere someday

Believing we'll reach it

Come on, raise your flag

Just raise your flag

No matter how many times you fall, get lost

With all your breath

As long as you keep going

Keep dreaming, wandering

All my mistakes blur my reflection

And it's more than what I've achieved so far

Deciding to take this ship or not depends on your will

To be a soldier or just a bystander

Keep struggling, keep falling, keep getting back up

Climb back up, keep running

Endless, nonstop

Between dreams and reality

We can struggle and silence the world before it fades away

Raise your flag

With all my voice

With all my voice

Shout with all your might

Surely someday

Somewhere someday

Believing we'll reach it

Come on, raise your flag

Just raise your flag

No matter how many times you fall, get lost

With all your breath

As long as you keep going

Keep dreaming and wandering

When is the time?

It’s up to your own decision

The time to find

To struggle and prove our vision

When is the time?

To end all false clashes

The time to find

And we will move forward to a new chapter

When is the time?

It's up to your own decision

The time to find

To struggle and prove our vision

So raise your flag

So raise your flag

So raise your flag

And we will move to a new chapter

Raise your flag

With all my voice

With all my voice

Shout with all your might

Surely someday

Somewhere someday

Believing we'll reach it

Come on and raise your flag

Just raise your flag

No matter how many times you fall, get lost

With all your breath

As long as you keep going

Keep dreaming and wandering

...

[Japanese]

Under pressure you are waiting for the direction

Going on the road without your mind

All mislead they give ignoring out all decisions

Killing yourself your soul we have inside

No one else but you are I'm waiting for

We can start it on just right here right now

Fear and circulation

But I am ready now

We can struggle and muzzle the world before it fades away

Raise your flag
