Kanji=
 * 我が行く道はひとつ
 * 天下を束ね行くこと
 * 手段を選びはしない
 * 何処へ急ぐ？風のように


 * 敵は残らず討つべし
 * やむを得ない犠牲など
 * わが身も惜しみはしない
 * 何処へ急ぐ？未だ早い


 * 聞き耳立てれば
 * あの音聴こゆる 今
 * はじまる戦


 * 決意の矢を放て ならば
 * 烈しき火を放て 行こう
 * 冷たき眼差しにて
 * ただ進み行くだけ


 * 歴史は変わるべき 共に
 * 天下分け目のとき 行こう
 * 其の機を掴みとりて
 * 躊躇わず行くだけ


 * 遠くで狼煙が上がる
 * もののふども立ち上がれ
 * 容赦は出来ぬこれ以上
 * 待てぬならば 俺も走る


 * 天下を取る者
 * 誰でも構わぬ ただ
 * 時は来たれり


 * 尽くすべきは最善 今が
 * 求むるは完全 時よ
 * 言葉にせぬ願いよ
 * あの天に蠢け


 * 幾千矢を放て 急げ
 * 幾多の火を放て 遥か
 * 策謀練り行くのが
 * 風と雲の掟


 * 吹く風 立つ雲
 * この手に力を さあ
 * 戦の中へ


 * 決意の矢を放て ならば
 * 烈しき火を放て 行こう
 * 冷たき眼差しにて
 * ただ進み行くだけ


 * 歴史は変わるべき 共に
 * 天下分け目のとき 行こう
 * 其の機を掴みとるが
 * 風と雲の掟

 * There is a single path I shall take
 * to govern this land
 * for no other is satisfactory
 * Where're you hurrying to? You're moving like the wind


 * Those who stand before it shall fall
 * Nothing is to be spared from its wrath
 * not even my own body
 * Where're you hurrying to? It's too soon to go now


 * Listen carefully
 * That racket you hear now
 * means the troops have engaged


 * Fire the arrow of decisiveness Then
 * Let loose the cutting blaze let's go
 * My sole objective is to press forward
 * with a chilling gaze


 * It's our time to change history Let us go
 * when the land is divided together
 * I aim to seize this chance
 * and journey onwards without hesitation


 * The smoke signals have been spotted
 * Arise, warriors
 * Don't show them anymore mercy
 * You aren't waiting, so I'm running in too


 * It matters not to me
 * who claims the land, so long
 * as that time dawns on us


 * It's best to have a goal Now is
 * My desire is perfection the time
 * for those untold wishes
 * Reach the heavens


 * Fire countless arrows Hurry
 * Let loose the numerous flames faraway
 * All shall proceed as planned
 * with the pact of the wind and clouds


 * The blowing winds and the rising clouds
 * are in my grasp and empower me, now
 * onwards to the battlefield


 * Fire the arrow of decisiveness Then
 * Let loose the cutting blaze let's go
 * My sole objective is to press forward
 * with a chilling gaze


 * It's our time to change history Let us go
 * when the land is divided together
 * Let's seize this chance
 * with the pact of the wind and clouds
