 * 刻は今
 * 凄絶に
 * 進め友よ
 * ひた走れ


 * 世はまさに
 * 地獄なり
 * 為すべきこと
 * 唯ひとつ


 * 俺が付いている
 * 情けより
 * 覚悟して
 * 抗いて
 * 矢を放て


 * 過去は変えられない
 * 明日は変えてゆける
 * 己が意思　貫き
 * 戻れぬ道を行け


 * 全力で
 * 挑む時
 * 俺は決して
 * 見捨てない


 * 世は最早
 * 暗黒よ
 * 苦界の果て
 * 見えはせぬ


 * 怒髪天を衝け
 * 迷うより
 * 憤り
 * 立ち上がり
 * 敵を討て


 * もしも動かざれば
 * 死んでも悔やむだろう
 * 比類なき武士なら
 * 時代を変えに行け


 * 敵はきっと待っているだろう
 * 流れ止まぬ時代を見据えて


 * 俺が付いている
 * 情けより
 * 覚悟して
 * 抗いて
 * 矢を放て


 * 過去は変えられない
 * 明日は変えてゆける
 * 己が意思　貫き
 * 乗るか反るか　どんぴしゃり
 * 一か八か　さあ
 * 戻れぬ道を行け
 * 時代を変えに行け
