[English]

I found the light in the empty time

Lost in a suspended world

Searching for an answer I can believe in

Just wandering around

Light escaping through my fingers

No time to look away

Even the scars I've received become nourishment

Cutting through the silence

Everyone is dead or alive

Just protecting won't help me survive

I don't want to lie to myself

Keep on the fight, get right

I'll never lose and cry

Keep running day and night

Time to rewrite

No matter what anyone says

I find my way

Never go away

Now, nobody can stop me no way

So I won't forget

To reclaim everything I've lost

Rise suddenly in this world - (I don't look back yeah)

At the end of the repeating journey

The failures that remain in my mind

I can recover it all, now turn over

Rise suddenly in this world - (I don't look back yeah)

Now, I know what I should do, it's clear

My world has lost its balance

Searching for an answer in the darkness

Everyone is fighting without a word

Ignoring the truth

In this short life, what will I use it for?

To change the world, fight my war

Keep on the fight, get right

I'll never lose and cry

Keep running day and night

Time to rewrite

No matter what anyone says

I find my way

Never go away

Now, nobody can stop me no way

So I won't lose myself

Let everything go free

Rise suddenly in this world - (I don't look back yeah)

Stand up, no matter how many times

Chasing the light without fearing risks

Even if I turn away, I can't erase my true heart

Rise suddenly in this world - (I don't look back yeah)

I gotta go

Keep defending everything in myself

I gotta go

Keep defending everything in myself

Feel so good ya

Not being deceived by illusions, I search for the faint light

Whether I can protect the important things without form

In the end, it all depends on me

The front and back of the shield, a dilemma

Guarding everything to become the vanguard

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

No matter what happens, run (esskeetit) - (Never go away)

Now, nobody can stop me no way

So I won't forget

To reclaim everything I've lost

Rise suddenly in this world - (I don't look back yeah)

At the end of the repeating journey

The failures that remain in my mind

I can recover it all, now turn over

Rise suddenly in this world - (I don't look back yeah)

[Japanese]

光 見つけた 空白の時間

迷い込んだ 宙吊りの世界

信じられる答え 探し求めて

ただ彷徨ってる

指の隙間 逃げる light

余所見してる暇も無い

受けた傷跡さえ糧に

静寂切り裂いてく

誰も彼もDead or alive

守るだけじゃcan’t survive

I don't want to lie to myself

Keep on the fight, get right

I'll never lose and cry

Keep run up day and night

Time to rewrite

No matter what anyone say

I find my way

Never go away

Now, Nobody can't stop me no way

忘れてしまう事のないように

失くした物全て 取り戻すため

Rise suddenly in this world (I don't look back yeah)

繰り返す 旅の果て

脳裏に残った失敗なんて

全部取り返せ 今 Turn over

Rise suddenly in this world (I don't look back yeah)

Now, I know すべき事 明白だろ

バランス失った My world

暗闇の中 探すanswer

誰もが有無言わせず

戦ってる 本当の事は見向きもせず

短いlife 俺なら何に使おう

世界変えるため Fight my war

Keep on the fight, get right

I'll never lose and cry

Keep run up day and night

Time to rewrite

No matter what anyone say

I find my way

Never go away

Now, Nobody can't stop me no way

自分自身を見失わないように

何もかも全て 解き放って

Rise suddenly in this world (I don't look back yeah)

立ち上がる 何度だって

リスク恐れず光追って

目を背けたって 消せない true heart

Rise suddenly in this world (I don't look back yeah)

I gotta go

Keep defend everything in myself

I gotta go

Keep defend everything in myself

Feel so good ya

幻 惑わされず 微かな lightを探しだし

形のない大事なもの守れるかは

結局は自分次第

盾の表裏 dilemma

全部guards して become vanguard

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

何があってもrun (esskeetit) (Never go away)

Now, Nobody can't stop me no way

忘れてしまう事のないように

失くした物全て 取り戻すため

Rise suddenly in this world (I don't look back yeah)

繰り返す 旅の果て

脳裏に残った失敗なんて

全部取り返せ 今 Turn over

Rise suddenly in this world (I don't look back yeah)
