Lyrics
Kanji=
 * 欲望渦巻き 悲しみ蔓延(はびこ)る 乱れた世界
 * 滅びの足音 荒みきった世に ひた寄せる


 * 必ず収めて 終わらせてみせる
 * 見つけた"希望"に未来を 証し支えて


 * 譲れないこの願望(ねがい)を 叶えるためにいま
 * この才を このすべてを懸けると誓って


 * 暗闇を掃(はら)い 憂い退ける 力があれば
 * 理(ことわり)を以(もっ)て 新しい朝は 訪れる


 * 歩みを止めない 意志(こころ)の強さが
 * 勝利へ天下へと続く 道を開ける


 * 弛み無くこの心願(おもい)を 成すために貫く
 * 何処までも 果てまでもそう行こうと誓って


 * Means 拒まれて Ways 違えても
 * Ends 信じるまま


 * 必ず収めて 終わらせてみせる
 * 怯まず声を上げながら 歩き続ける


 * 譲れないこの願望(ねがい)を 叶えるためにいま
 * この才を このすべてを懸けると誓って


 * 弛み無くこの心願(おもい)を 成すために貫く
 * 何処までも 果てまでもそう行こうと誓って


 * 才の限り
 * ただ尽くしましょう

 * -|English Translation=
 * In the vortex of desires, sorrow spreads and the world is disheveled
 * The footsteps of destruction draw ever closer to trampling into our reality


 * I swear that I shall halt its course. I will end it myself
 * I testify and support to the "hope" discovered for the future


 * I'll never let this aspiration die. I want to see it come true
 * I swear to use my talents and my everything for it


 * Darkness sweeps in. I reject its sorrow. If only I had the strength
 * I would carry reason as my guide and pay visit to a new dawn


 * I won't stop my gait. The strength of my heart
 * shall open the way to victory and the land


 * My thoughts remain steadfast to do what must be done
 * I swear that I will go anywhere for it, to the ends of the world if I must


 * Means may be denied and Ways may be different but
 * I'll always believe in the Ends


 * I swear that I shall halt its course. This chaos must end
 * My gait is true and as I raise my assured voice


 * I'll never let this aspiration die. I want to see it become a reality today
 * I swear to stake my talents and my everything for it


 * My thoughts remain steadfast to do what must be done
 * I swear that I will go anywhere for it, to the ends of the world if I must


 * As long as I have the talent,
 * I shall exert myself
