[English]

There's nothing I need to protect

I only had one thing to worry about

Echoes of my shouted voice

Faintly resonated deep in the forest

The reason I could hold back my tears

Was because of the warmth of our intertwined fingers

A future without you

A future with no meaning

I'll never let you go again

A world I face with you

A world I've never seen before

Crossing time and space, we travel far away

The true voice of our song

Echoing in the darkness, we vow as one

There’s no stopping now

Through storms, to our eternal paradise

Souls that never know decay

Even if destiny twists and turns

I want to run together with you

To the ends of this world

I’ll never look back again

If I’m with you, I can run on endless tracks

An unending dream, we’ll eventually reach it

A future without you

A future with no meaning

I'll never let you go again

A world I face with you

A world I’ve never seen before

Crossing time and space, we travel far away

Crossing time and space, we travel far away

[Japanese]

守るべきものなんて

悩むまでもなく一つしかなかった

叫び声のこだま

むなしく響いた　深い森の奥に

涙をこらえられた理由は

重ねた指のぬくもりのせい

君がいない未来

意味などない未来

二度と離したりはしないから

君と臨む世界

見たことない世界

時空を越えて　はるか旅する僕等

真実の詩声

闇に響かせて一つ胸に誓う

留まることはない

嵐の中でも　永遠の楽園まで

滅びること知らない魂

巡り巡る運命(さだめ)だとしても

君と駆け抜けたい

この世界の果ても

二度と振り返りはしないから

君とならば行ける走る無限軌道

終わらない夢　やがてたどり着けるさ

君がいない未来

意味などない未来

二度と離したりはしないから

君と臨む世界

見たことない世界

時空を越えて　はるか旅する僕等

時空を越えて　はるか旅する僕等
