Fleeting heartbeat
Beat the heartbeat, staking that life
As if shaking off blood and tears
A light scatters despair, soaring amidst the roar
If it means protecting someone's life, that's fate
We don't even know about tomorrow
The color of the unchanging wind, a hidden vow that won't waver
In this cruel world, now a blade pierces through, a vow held true
Beat the heartbeat, staking that life
As if shaking off blood and tears
The blooming feelings rush and softly embrace the moment
Tearing through the blue sky, sharing the pain
Entrusting this hope to tomorrow
A sparkling transient flower
Bloom powerfully, resonate with the fleeting heartbeat
The heat haze dances on the earth, determination shines in our eyes
Only hating won't bring change
Cut off those who stain the purity
A single flower blooms, an unchanging future fading away
Dawn, if you're waiting for a heart, run like the swift wind
Beat the heartbeat, in the form it should be
Let the rain of sins wash you away
The seed of sorrow carried in the world, erase it in a moment
Looking up at the blue sky, sharing the vow
Entrusting this hope to tomorrow
If you burn yourself to the end
Dance nobly, light the flame of your earnest wish...
The color of the unchanging wind, a hidden vow that won't waver
In this cruel world, now a blade pierces through, a vow held true
Beat the heartbeat, staking that life
As if shaking off blood and tears
The blooming feelings rush and softly embrace the moment
Tearing through the blue sky, sharing the pain
Entrusting this hope to tomorrow
A sparkling transient flower
Bloom powerfully, resonate with the fleeting heartbeat
Dance nobly, light the flame of your earnest wish...

Setsuna no kodou
Kodou o kaki narase sono inochi kakete
Chi mo namida mo furi harau you ni
Zetsubou kechirasu hikari todoroki no naka de kakeru
Dareka no inochi mamoreru no nara sore ga shukumei
Ashita mo shirenu
Utsurigena kaze no iro yuruganai himetaru chikai
Zankoku na sekai de ima, yaiba chigiri tsuranuku
Kodou o kaki narase sono inochi kakete
Chi mo namida mo furi harau you ni
Saki isogu omoi harari setsuna o dakishimete
Souten kirisaita itami o wakeau
Kono kibou ashita e to takusu
Kagayaku utakata no hana
Tsuyoku saki hokore setsuna no kodou hibike
Kagerou yurameku daichi gankou ketsui o tsuranuku
Uramu koto dake de wa kaerarenai
Muku o yogosu mono tachikitte
Ichirin no hana ga saki kare yuku kawaranu mirai
Akatsuki kokoro matsu nara shippuu no gotoku kakero
Kodou o kaki narase aru beki sugata de
Tsumi yo ame ni utare nagasare
Yo ni yadoshi hiai no tane setsuna de keshisatte
Souten o miagete chigiri wakachi au
Kono kibou ashita e to takusu
Onore mi wo moyashitsukuseba
Kedakaku mai chire setsunaru negai tomoshite...
Utsurigena kaze no iro yuruganai himetaru chikai
Zankoku na sekai de ima, yaiba chigiri tsuranuku
Kodou o kaki narase sono inochi kakete
Chi mo namida mo furi harau you ni
Saki isogu omoi harari setsuna o dakishimete
Souten kirisaita itami o wakeau
Kono kibou ashita e to takusu
Kagayaku utakata no hana
Tsuyoku saki hokore setsuna no kodou hibike
Kedakaku mai chire setsunaru negai tomoshite...
