[English]

I've made my weakness my ally

So I can fly higher than anyone else

If I stop here

The things I've lost will stop shining

When you get lost somewhere

If my heart is wandering too

I won't be able to find you

Not just kindness, but that strength too

I understand

It's the time of dawn

I'll rush all the way to the highest point, yeah

一気に駆け抜けて行くから yeah

I must be laughing in a daze

Because the pain of those days is in the past, probably

While making the world my enemy

I stand firm on my shaky feet, yeah

Just move a little more

Now, it's revival time, the moment of awakening has come

...

Now, it's revival time, the moment of awakening has come

...

Tears overflowed as I couldn't get up

Pooling around my face

Barely able to breathe

Tears were supposed to be my allies

I understand

...

I've rushed all the way to the highest point

So yeah, I've come this far

I must be laughing in a daze

Because the pain of those days is in the past, probably

I turned myself into an enemy

It seems strong but is fragile, yeah

I've made myself my ally

I should become stronger than anyone else, now

...

I'll rush all the way to the highest point

So yeah, I'll keep going

I must be laughing in a daze

Because the pain of those days is in the past, probably

While making the world my enemy

I stand firm on my shaky feet, yeah

Just move a little more

Now, it's revival time, the moment of awakening has come

...

Now, it's revival time, the moment of awakening has come

...

[Japanese]

弱さを味方につけた僕は

誰よりも高く飛べるのだから

こんなところで止まってたら

無くしたものが輝かなくなる

君がどこか迷った時に

僕の心も彷徨っていたら

見つけてあげられないんだ

優しさだけじゃなくその強さも

分かってるんだ

夜明けの時さ

最高到達点にまで

一気に駆け抜けて行くから yeah

麻痺して笑ってるんだろう

あの日々の痛みも過去だから 多分

世界を敵にしながら

崩れそうな足で踏み止まる yeah

あと少しだけ動いてくれ

さぁ 復活だ 目醒めの時が来た 今

さぁ 復活だ 目醒めの時が来た 今

起き上がれずに溢れた涙

顔の周りで水溜りに

息するのもギリギリで

涙は味方のはずだったのに

分かってるんだ

最高到達点にまで

一気に駆け抜けて来たから yeah

麻痺して笑ってるんだろう

あの日々の痛みも過去だから 多分

自分を敵に回した

それは強いようで脆いから yeah

自分を味方につけた

僕は誰より強くなるはずさ 今

最高到達点にまで

一気に駆け抜けて行くから yeah

麻痺して笑ってるんだろう

あの日々の痛みも過去だから 多分

世界を敵にしながら

崩れそうな足で踏み止まる yeah

あと少しだけ動いてくれ

さぁ 復活だ 目醒めの時が来た 今

さぁ 復活だ 目醒めの時が来た 今
