Lyrics
Kanji=
 * 急ぎて行け　先へ先へ
 * 天下制すため
 * 許されざる　留まる者
 * 生きる価値もなし


 * 天が　動かざれば
 * 天に　代わりて予が
 * 世界　変えるなり
 * 地獄越えて見ゆる　闇の彼方


 * 歴史よ　拓けよ
 * 新たな時へ
 * 短き人生（ひとのよ）
 * 極みを目指し
 * 天下に布け　武（ちから）


 * 破壊するは　過去を燃やし
 * 明日を築くため
 * 予に刃向かう覚悟あらば
 * 応えてくれようぞ


 * いのち　消ゆる必定
 * ならば　魂（こころ）炎上
 * そなた　愛でるなら
 * その身抱きて極み　連れて行かん


 * 歴史よ　動けよ
 * 無窮の世へと
 * 夢見し地平を
 * この眼で見つめ
 * 散るも愉し　運命（さだめ）


 * 『人間五十年
 * 下天の内をくらぶれば、夢幻のごとくなり.
 * 一度生を得て減せぬ者のあるべきか』


 * 歴史よ　拓けよ
 * 新たな時へ
 * 仮初（かりそめ）人生（ひとのよ）
 * 極みて散るは
 * 極みて咲く　天に

 * -|English Translation=
 * Don't tarry. Onwards, now, at once
 * to win the world
 * Those who stay shall never be forgiven
 * for they have no right to live


 * If Heaven refuses to budge,
 * then it is my task to change it
 * The world must change
 * even if I need let loose the darkness from the pits of hell


 * History, open the way
 * to a new age
 * During my brief mortal life
 * I aim for the top
 * and shall cover the world with my strength


 * Creating a new tomorrow requires destroying
 * and burning away the past
 * If you are prepared to raise your sword against me,
 * then I shall answer you


 * Death is inevitable
 * Then set your soul aflame
 * If you have the passion,
 * embrace it to its fullest and come with me


 * History, move for us
 * towards an endless world
 * Realize the world of your desires
 * with your own eyes
 * To fall is a pleasure, regardless of its fate


 * "The human world is but fifty years
 * Compared to the great beyond, the human world must be a fleeting dream.
 * Could those who do not achieve in this time have the right to be called human?"


 * History, pave the way
 * to a new age
 * The transient life we have
 * should fall at its greatest peak,
 * and bloom at its limits towards Heaven
