Lyrics


散りゆく花は 色褪せず脈を打つ
幾重の夢を忍ばせて
生きる濁流へ
道は違わぬはずだと ただ実直に
疾駆するほど不透明な信頼
追い求む
闘志を試し招くように
未来は変わらず来たる
桜ひとひらさえ
掴めず迷い追いかけ
数多の花吹雪
威風の流動とともに
散りゆくことも 困難なまま身命は
燻る感情に駆られて
行方を探す
乱世の思惑は 薙ぎ伏せ己の
信じる足で踏破しよう
敗北を認め
最先に具現する随想は
いつかの記憶の欠片
桜ひとひらにも
燃ゆる魂の鼓動
共鳴する潔さ
韋駄天の如く舞う
桜ひとひらさえ
掴めず迷い追いかけ
数多の花吹雪
威風の流動とともに
先へと
飛び立つ

Timeless shades of the scattered flowers strike a pulse
Hidden in the cycle of dreams,
they float in the muddy streams of life
My path should be no different; I shall rightly
ride after my unclear beliefs
with a proud gallop
As though to test my fighting resolve,
a fixed future approaches
Like the cherry blossom petals,
hesitation has no hold on me
In this blizzard of endless flowers,
I gloriously glide free
Even a scattered life has its difficulties
Faced with smoldering emotions,
I search for the way
Deliberations of the tremulous age beats
the legs of my belief; obstructed,
I accept defeat
Yet the impressions which had once embodied me
shall someday revive the fragments of my memories
Even the cherry blossom petals
beat with a burning soul
They resonate with purity
and dance with champion alacrity
Like the cherry blossom petals,
hesitation has no hold on me
In this blizzard of endless flowers,
I gloriously glide free
Blast away,
always onward
