## Lyrics

* Kanji
* English

Tsumikasanatta RUURU o daiji ni kakaekomi

Kusari ni shibarare ugokenaku natteru

Kimeta no wa dareka to kangaeru koto sae mo

Ubawarete iru genjitsu ni kizuku toki ga kitan janai?

(Raise Up!) Jibun tte sonzai no

(Raise Up!) Kachi o yudaneru you na

Ikikata ni nare kittara owatte shimau

Aragai o hitei suru koteikannen tte mousou ni

Kakushin tte hata o kazashite miseyou

Senrei mo joushiki mo kako no ibutsu darou

Atarashii jidai...kakagero!

(Hey!) Kibou o esa ni saren na

(Hey!) Risou to uso o minuke

(Hey!) Amai zaregoto ni mou sonzai kachi wa nai jidai

Dakara, zettai kounan datte dareka ga

Kettei shita ronri ni nagasaren janaku

Tsuyoi ishi de erabitorou

Takkan shita shinri ga tadashii to wa kagiranaisa

(Raise Up!) Jibun tte sonzai o

(Raise Up!) Hokori ni omou you na

Ikizama o mirai no shishin ni shiyou

Aimai na seiron ga makaritooru you na sekai ga

Tsukuru higeki kara me o sorasanai

Zetsubou o kate ni suru shihai, kowasu toki

Atarashii jidai...kakagero!

Jibun kara hajimeyou, hitorihitori no ishi dake ga

Kitto ashita o kaeru tte shinjiyou

Arasoi wa hontou no tatakai janainda

Furui kusabi o sutesatte shimaou

Aragai o hitei suru koteikannen tte mousou ni

Kakushin tte hata o kazashite miseyou

Ugokanakya nanihitotsu kaerarenai kara

Atarashii jidai...kakagero!

積み重なったルールを大事に抱え込み

鎖に縛られ動けなくなってる

決めたのは誰かと考えることさえも

奪われている現実に気付く時が来たんじゃない？

（Raise Up!）自分って存在の

（Raise Up!）価値を委ねるような

生き方に慣れきったら終わってしまう

抗いを否定する固定観念って妄想に

革新って旗を翳してみせよう

先例も常識も過去の遺物だろう

新しい時代…掲げろ！

（Hey!）希望を餌にされんな

（Hey!）理想と嘘を見抜け

（Hey!）甘い戯言にもう存在価値はない時代

だから、絶対こうなんだって誰かが

決定した論理に流されんじゃなく

強い意志で選び取ろう

達観した真理が正しいとは限らないさ

（Raise Up!）自分って存在を

（Raise Up!）誇りに思うような

生き様を未来の指針にしよう

曖昧な正論がまかり通るような世界が

造る悲劇から目を逸らさない

絶望を糧にする支配、壊す時

新しい時代…掲げろ！

自分から始めよう、一人一人の意志だけが

きっと明日を変えるって信じよう

争いは本当の闘いじゃないんだ

旧い楔を捨て去ってしまおう

抗いを否定する固定観念って妄想に

革新って旗を翳してみせよう

動かなきゃ何一つ変えられないから

新しい時代…掲げろ！

Holding dear of these these accumulated rules

they're bound in chains and couldn't move

Even when I think of my chosen someone

has time come to notice our reality being snatched away?

(Raise up!) My own existence

(Raise up!) seemly loses its value

Once I get used to this way of living, it'll end

Denying the opposition is a delusion of prejudice

So hold over the flag of reform

Precedents and common senses are relics of the past, aren't they?

Set forth a...new era!

(Hey!) Feeding on hope

(Hey!) seeing through the ideals and lies

(Hey!) it's a time where sweet nonsense makes existence worthless

So, the definite consequences everyone dealt with

aren't swept with determined logic

Choosing those with a strong will

the farsighted truth isn't always right

(Raise up!) My own existence

(Raise up!) makes me proud

Let's point the future to the way we live for

In the world where vague arguements pass by

I won't avert my eyes away from creating tragedy

It's the time to break the rule that feeds on despair

Set forth a...new era!

Since the beginning, each of our will only

believes that we can definitely change tomorrow

This conflict isn't the real fight

Let's throw away the old wedge

Denying the opposition is a delusion of prejudice

So hold over the flag of reform

Because one cannot change anything unless they move

Set forth a...new era!
