Lyrics


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

The time is now
Hold nothing back
and move, my friend
Run with all your might
The world truly has
become Hell itself
To do what must be done
there lies one path for us
I will be with you
Rather than showing compassion
be resolute
Rebel
Let loose the arrows of war
We can't change the past
but we can change the future
Your will shall pierce through
Go down the path of no return
Exert yourself
for this conflict
I shall never
abandon you
The world is already
clouded in darkness
Despair has no end
in sight
Let loose your malignity
Rather than doubt
resent this fate
and stand against it
to slay its foe
Whether you choose to move or not,
I shall bear no grudge against you 'til the day I die
But, if you're a peerless warrior,
go forth to change the age
The enemy must be waiting for us
Look onwards to the unstoppable future flowing in
I will be with you
Rather than showing sympathy
be resolute
Rebel
Fire the arrows of war
We can't change the past
but we can change the future
Your will shall be the one to cut through
Whether it ends in success or failure makes little difference
Win or lose, take the risk
Proceed along the path of no return
Go now to change the era
