Japanese 	English Translation
Susumu time bomb akatsuki deChikyuu wa kyou mo mawari Hurry Up!Hitogoto ni nante dekinai no ni ne. 	I'm carrying a ticking time bombThe Earth keeps on turning, so hurry up!Doesn't it care about it?
Fui ni yaburareu joushikifumei eye misadame to sadameikidoori no ame ni nureta. 	Suddenly common sense is violatedOne fate intertwines with anotherAnd the rain of resentment drenches them all
Guuzen ginen kimagure no naka de amasa wo mashitekuatsui kodou nagarekomu come now everyone 	But why? Doubt and carelessness have grave consequencesA hot pulse signals the incoming cannonball
Ready?koko ni ikiyou sei amashi subetenegai no imi mo iro wo kaetaTsukuritai kokoro okufukaku a a kanjiruIchizu natoda hitotsuReady to hold.	Ready!Everything is drawn to this placeIt goes beyond the meaning and intent of our desiresMy heart wants to stay strongI feel it deep inside meWith all my soul, this one thingI'm ready to hold onto
