[English]

Over a battered world,

Darkness leans heavily, hanging over us.

In this never-ending moment,

Sorrow keeps clinging, going on forever.

Even so, the sky seeks dawn,

Reaching out for the future.

We are not weak or fragile,

Believing, loving, burning out.

Again and again,

Souls shedding blood,

Beyond the dreams we see,

Shining brightly, shining bright,

A new morning arrives.

Heading towards hope’s horizon.

Calling you toward dawn.

Do we fall by losing ourselves,

Or chase after the light?

On the path we’ve chosen,

Tears and scars become distant,

Holding our breath, burned by memories,

Still, we cut through the wind vividly,

To seize the future we desire.

Passion always lights the way.

Raising signals to soar high like wolves.

Transform into the wind, blossom,

Striking the drums of our spirits.

To the places we're rushing toward.

Dazzling, dazzling,

A new morning arrives.

Heading toward the gleaming light.

Beyond another night,

The palms that seem unreachable,

The voices that support us.

Unknowingly, they have come to resonate,

Echoing within us all.

I prayed for light to shine where you go.

For every heart.

Again and again,

Souls shedding blood,

Beyond the dreams we see,

Shining brightly, shining bright,

A new morning arrives.

A song about to begin.

Calling you toward dawn.

Over a battered world...

[Japanese]

傷だらけの世界の頭上に

闇が重たくもたれかかって

覚めない時の中

悲しみは何処までも追いすがって

それでも空は夜明けを探して

取りに行く未来

僕らは弱くも儚くもないよ

信じて愛して燃え尽きて行く

繰り返し　繰り返し

血を流すたましいが

夢を見るその先に

輝いて　輝いて

新しい朝が来る

希望が棚引く方へ

君を呼んでいる黎明へ

失うことで堕ちて行くか

それとも光を追いかけるか

選んで来た道に散らした

涙も傷も遠くなって

息を殺し追憶の影に焼かれ

それでも鮮やかに風を切って

手に入れる未来

情熱がいつだって灯火になるよ

天高く上れと狼煙を上げて

風になり　花開き

たましいを掻き鳴らす

僕らが急ぐ場所へ

華やいで　華やいで

新しい朝が来る

光が棚引く方へ

夜のもう一つ向こうまで

どうしても届かない手のひらを

支えてくれる声が

いつの間に　こんなに

響いてた

君の行く場所に　光あれと祈った

全ての心のため

繰り返し　繰り返し

血を流すたましいが

夢を見るその先に

輝いて　輝いて

新しい朝が来る

もうすぐ始まる歌

君を呼んでいる黎明へ

傷だらけの世界の頭上に……
