[English]

Howling 止まないNoise

Killing me 耳塞いで

光と影の境界線 探したAnswer

No turning back 儚く揺られながら 灯す未来

塗り重ねていくBlack or white

僕らの意味は何？

見上げているだけじゃ 描けないStoryを映し出せ

We carry on Oh Oh Oh 名もなきShadows 震わす鼓動

Get ready for Oh Oh Oh あの場所まで 闇を抜けて

Nothing but 怖いものなどない

Knocking on new gate 行こうAnother world

Oh Oh Oh 目覚めるShadows 光を浴びて

疑い合い ぶつかり合う

自問と自答に 衝動と焦燥の隙間で 重なり合う

生き写しのShadow and Light

疼く衝動 叫ぶShadows

五線譜上のBlack and White

違う音 紡いでも

重ね合う鼓動で その躍動はひとつになる

We carry on Oh Oh Oh 果てなき旅 灯す願い

Get ready for Oh Oh Oh 手を伸ばして 誓うNever end

I'll be there 混沌のこの世界

身纏うBlack wing 広げNext to world

Oh Oh Oh 飛び立つShadows 光の先へ

あの時 消えてしまいそうな灯りを

守り抜いた君の想いを 願いをCarry on

We carry on Oh Oh Oh 名もなきShadows 震わす鼓動

Get ready for Oh Oh Oh あの場所まで 闇を抜けて

Nothing but 怖いものなどない

Knocking on new gate 行こうAnother world

Oh Oh Oh 目覚めるShadows 光を浴びて
