Akenai hi wa nai
Yami ga mujō ni torimaitemo
Mikanseina mama de sore o kirisaite yaru
Kurenai hi wa nai
Kyō no fujōri ni nayandemo
Mune no flame koko ni atte kiesō ni nainda
Kawaru kono sekai de tatta hitotsu
Kimi no tsuyosa shinjiteiru kara
hit bull's-eye!!
Hi no naka de ikiru
Sono kabe o koeru
Kenmeina bokura no subete
Kokochiyoi hibi ni sayonara o tsugete
Sono imi o tashikame ni yuku
Nagai tabi ga matteiru kara chikaiatte
Uneru ōzora no hate de nemuru toki e to sakarai susumou
Kienai hi ga mai toki no rurō e manekoutomo
Fuanteina mama de michi kerichirashite yaru
Kurenai ni mayoi asu no mugen ni mimodaetemo
Mune no truth koko ni atte motometeiru kara
Yureru kono hitomi no naka ni mebaeta kibō
Tsuyoku sodatete yuketara
hit bull's-eye!!
Sono ai ni kidzuku
Inochi no wa tsudzuku
Sonzai ga bokura no hagane
Mamoritai mono ni ima hane o tsukete
Songen o torikaeshi ni yuku
Nagai tabi no kono isshun o kasaneatte
Unmei no jūryoku mo hanete toberu chikara to kotaete yuku yo
hit bull's-eye!!
Hi no naka de ikiru
Sono kabe o koeru
Kenmeina bokura no subete
Kokochiyoi hibi ni sayonara o tsugete
Sono imi o tashikame ni yuku
Sono ai ni kidzuku
Inochi no wa tsudzuku
Sonzai ga bokura no hagane
Mamoritai mono ni ima hane o tsukete
Songen o torikaeshi ni yuku
Nagai tabi no sono shūmatsu ni mata deatte
Unkai mo namida mo harete meguru toki e to kagayaki susumou
Meguru toki e to kagayaki susumou
明けない日はない
闇が無情に取り巻いても
未完成なままで それを切り裂いてやる
暮れない日はない
今日の不条理に悩んでも
胸のflame ここに在って 消えそうにないんだ
変わるこの世界でたった一つ
君の強さ信じているから
hit bull's-eye!!
火の中で生きる
その壁を越える
懸命な僕らの全て
心地良い日々にさよならを告げて
その意味を確かめに行く
長い旅が待っているから 誓い合って
うねる大空の果てで眠る時へと逆らい進もう
消えない火が舞い 時の流浪へ招こうとも
不安定なままで道蹴り散らしてやる
紅に迷い明日の無限に身悶えても
胸のtruth ここに在って 求めているから
揺れるこの瞳の中に芽生えた希望
強く育てて行けたら
hit bull's-eye!!
その愛に気付く
存在が僕らの鋼
守りたいものに今羽を付けて
尊厳を取り返しに行く
長い旅のこの一瞬を重ね合って
運命の重力も跳ねて飛べる力と答えて行くよ
hit bull's-eye!!
火の中で生きる
その壁を越える
懸命な僕らの全て
心地良い日々にさよならを告げて
その意味を確かめに行く
その愛に気付く
存在が僕らの鋼
守りたいものに今羽を付けて
尊厳を取り返しに行く
長い旅のその終末に また出逢って
雲海も涙も晴れて巡る時へと輝き進もう
巡る時へと輝き進もう
There is no day that won't dawn.
Even if darkness surrounds me heartlessly,
I'll cut through it while I'm still incomplete.
There is no day that won't end.
Even if I worry about today's absurdity,
The flame in my chest is here, and it won't go out.
Because in this changing world, the only thing,
I believe in is your strength.
hit bull's-eye!!
Living within fire.
Overcoming that barrier.
That is what all our hard work is for.
I'll say goodbye to the comfortable days,
And go to make sure of that meaning.
A long journey is waiting, so let's vow to each other,
And move forward, opposing the time sleeping at the end of the wide, billowing sky.
Even if the inextinguishable fire dances and beckons to the wandering of time,
I'll kick the path apart while I'm still unstable.
Even if I lose myself in the crimson and writhe in agony at the limitlessness of tomorrow,
The truth in my chest is here, and I yearn for it.
The hope that has sprouted within my wavering eyes,
If we could only let it grow strong.
hit bull's-eye!!
Realize that love.
The circle of life continues.
Existence is our steel.
I'll now put wings on what I want to protect,
And go to take back my dignity.
We'll overlap this moment of our long journey,
And go answer with the power to jump and fly over the gravity of destiny.
hit bull's-eye!!
Living within fire.
Overcoming that barrier.
That is what all our hard work is for.
I'll say goodbye to the comfortable days,
And go to make sure of that meaning.
Realize that love.
The circle of life continues.
Existence is our steel.
I'll now put wings on what I want to protect,
And go to take back my dignity.
At the end of the long journey, we'll meet again,
Let's shine and move forward to the returning time, when the sea of clouds and the tears have cleared.
Let's shine and move forward to the returning time.
