Kanji

 * 時の音
 * 闇の声
 * 静寂をただ切り裂いて
 * 月の影
 * 星の跡
 * 姿は宵に溶けゆく


 * いつか辿り着く理想を
 * 描く白羽また翻し
 * 目指すものだけが辿り着く
 * 開かれた扉の向こう


 * 今揺れる水面にうつろいだ
 * ゆるぎなき思いが光を放つ
 * 踊るこの世を仰ぎ見て
 * 白き泡纏う龍は
 * 天飛翔昇り
 * 時をいざなう


 * 永久の夢
 * 知恵の糸
 * 閃きをまだ手繰り寄せ
 * 風の舞
 * 空の色
 * 燐光　宙にきらめく


 * 揺れる陽炎の未来へ
 * 描く翠緑萌ゆ新たな地
 * 目指すものだけが掴み取る
 * 開かれた扉の向こう


 * 今揺れる水面にたゆたうは
 * 沸きいずる思いと気高き絆
 * さやかな願望胸に秘め
 * 白き泡纏う龍は
 * 雲を貫き
 * 時をいざなう


 * 龍は目覚める


 * 今揺れる水面にうつろいだ
 * ゆるぎなき思いが光を放つ
 * 踊るこの世を仰ぎ見て
 * 白き泡纏う龍は
 * 天を…嗚呼


 * 今揺れる水面にたゆたうは
 * 沸きいずる思いと気高き絆
 * さやかな願望胸に秘め
 * 白き泡纏う龍は
 * 天飛翔昇り
 * 時をいざなう

English Translation

 * The sound of time
 * The voice of darkness
 * cuts through the quaint silence
 * The moon's shadow
 * The star's trace
 * melt into the evening


 * Someday, when ideals at last find their way,
 * the drawn feathers of war will again turn
 * With goals still left to be reached
 * I head towards the opened door


 * At last, the surface of water trembles and shifts
 * These tranquil thoughts emit light
 * Dancing below, gazing up at this world
 * The white dragon clad in foam
 * begins its heavenly flight to the sky
 * to tempt the restraints of time


 * The dream of eternity
 * The bonds of intelligence
 * are reeled in again in a flash
 * The wind's dance
 * The color of the sky
 * Their phosphorescence sparkle in the universe


 * Towards the unstable, blazing future
 * to draw a new land of lush evergreen
 * Seize only our objective
 * and head towards the opened door


 * Floating there atop the trembling water
 * gushes unchanging determination and noble bonds
 * I hide these brilliant hopes within my heart
 * The white dragon surrounded in bubbles
 * pierces through the clouds
 * to tempt the restraints of time


 * The dragon awakens


 * The water's surface trembles and shifts
 * These tranquil thoughts emit light
 * Dancing below, gazing up at this world
 * The white dragon clad in foam
 * goes to heaven… Ah


 * Floating there atop the trembling water
 * gushes unchanging determination and noble bonds
 * I hide these radiant wishes within my heart
 * The white dragon surrounded in bubbles
 * soars towards the heavens
 * to ask for time
