[English]

All I've done is lost things

I won't let go of this ember I left behind

I won't let go, ever

Ambiguous tales, even without a right answer

If I could just take a step forward

You say "you're crazy," but I'll somehow manage

I don't even know what would be good

If my dream next door is determined

Then there'll be nothing left to doubt

Sparks fly, the battle begins, until black or white turns to ash

I want to get, I want to get the best crown

Cutting through the wind, towards you, until I change 1 or 8 to 0

If you're a depressed clown, the universe won't begin

I'll show you love that burns even ash

I just spark again

Aimlessly in the darkness

I can't reach that back you searched for

I can't reach it, but surely

I have nothing, but I jumped out before hesitating

If I could be like that day

Even without a fuse, I'll light a fire in my heart

Even if I don't know where I'm going

If I hold your hand tightly next to you

Then there'll be nothing left to fear

Towards the light shining, until the night's voice ends someday

I don't need a common DAWN anymore, I won't even look at it

Listen to the voice, look forward, a future that only speaks in black and white

Before I get scared, I want to erase such illusions

I'll show you love like the sun

I just spark again

Countless things have been lost

Nothing has been thrown away

Sparks fly, the battle begins, until black or white turns to ash

I want to get, I want to get the best crown

Cutting through the wind, towards you, until I change 1 or 8 to 0

If you're a depressed clown, the universe won't begin

I'll show you love that burns even ash

I just spark again

Because I'll shine with love like the sun

I just spark again

...

[Japanese]

失くしたものばかり

殘したこの火種は離さない

離さないから ずっと

曖昧 物語 正解なんてなくたって

踏み出すようになれたら

「どうかしてる」って言うけど どうにかしてあげるよ

どうなったらいいかさえ わからなくなるけど

夢がその隣で覚悟を決めたなら

疑うものなんて何もなくなるから

火花散って 火蓋切って 白か黒も灰にかえるまで

とびきりの王冠なら手に入れたい 手に入れたい

風を切って 君のほうへ 1か8か0に変えるまで

ふさぎ込んだ道化師なら 森羅万象 はじまんないよ

灰も焦がすよな愛をみせるから

I just spark again

暗闇 やみくもに

探したその背中は届かない

届かないけど きっと

何にもないくせに 戸惑う前に飛び出した

あの日のようになれたら

導火線がなくても 心に火 灯すよ

どこに行くのかさえ わからなくなっても

君のその隣で強く手を繋げば

恐れるものなんて何もなくなるから

光さして 照らす方へ いつか夜の声も果てるまで

ありふれたDAWNなら もういらない 目もくれない

声を聞いて 前を向いて 白か黒で語るだけの未来

怖気づいてしまう前に そんな幻想 消し去りたいよ

太陽みたいな愛をみせるから

I just spark again

失くしてきたものなら数知れず

捨ててしまったものなど 何もない

火花散って 火蓋切って 白か黒も灰にかえるまで

とびきりの王冠なら手に入れたい 手に入れたい

風を切って 君のほうへ 1か8か0に変えるまで

ふさぎ込んだ道化師なら 森羅万象 はじまんないよ

灰も焦がすよな愛をみせるから

I just spark again

太陽みたいな愛で照らすから

I just spark again
