Kanji=
 * いまこそ　天に問おう
 * その意の在処（ありか）を
 * 向きあうことが
 * 失うことが　怖いけれど


 * 才ある者だけが許されるこの道 （支えて）
 * 進むだけさ
 * どんなに遠くでも


 * ああ　託されし 魂（こころ）
 * そう　受け継いで行こう
 * 為すべきを為し　運命（さだめ）を背負って
 * 新しい明日のために
 * 我らのこの手で


 * この天命が　尽きる
 * その瞬間までは
 * 目を逸らしても
 * 無視できない　わかってるさ


 * 無駄な時間（とき）などない　弱さなど要らない （本気で）
 * やるしかない
 * 己だけ信じて


 * ああ　繋いでく 意志（こころ）
 * そう　決して絶やさない
 * あるべき姿　乱れたこの世に
 * 取り戻させるまでは
 * 我らの才気（ちから）で


 * 勝利だけが 答えになる
 * 迷っていられない
 * 運命は容赦なく


 * ああ　託されし 魂（こころ）
 * そう　受け継いで行こう
 * 為すべきを為し　運命（さだめ）を背負って
 * 新しい明日のために
 * 我らのこの手で
 * ああ

 * -|English Translation=
 * Now is the time to stand against Heaven
 * with the will entrusted to us
 * Even though I'm scared
 * of standing up and losing


 * Only those with the potential are permitted on this path （Support me）
 * Have to move onward
 * Doesn't matter how far it is from here


 * Ah, the soul entrusted to us
 * Yes, we inherit it and go
 * We do what must be done, carrying the burdens of our fate,
 * for the new tomorrow
 * created by our own hand


 * Until the moment comes
 * when I am extinguished by Heaven's Will
 * Even if I look away,
 * I know I can't ignore it


 * There's no time to waste. I need no weaknesses. （I have to get serious.）
 * Got to get the job done
 * and believe in myself


 * Ah, the will which connects us
 * Yes, it will never give into hatred
 * We will use our brillance
 * to bring this corrupted world
 * back to its proper state


 * Victory alone will be the answer
 * We won't be lost anymore
 * Fate will show us no mercy


 * Ah, the soul entrusted to us
 * Yes, we inherit it and go
 * We do what must be done, carrying the burdens of our destiny,
 * for the new tomorrow
 * made by our own hand
 * Ah
