Now, I send a prayer to the heavens
Please grant me another sliver of strength…
Do I have the burden of preparedness in my heart?
Strength is somehow the
Reason why I can fight…!
“Loneliness suits you more than warmth”
They tell me, and what killed my heart was
My clinging on to false “strength”
As tears overlap, proven reality is
A truly cruel ―termination―
(Desperate) Twisted prayers that can’t be surpressed
Wish for an answer, like choking disorder to the end of darkness…I scream!
Now, I send a prayer to the heavens
Please grant me another sliver of strength…
“You can’t hope for it”
Denying myself, my hand reaches out
No matter how many times I’m hurt (Glorious Break)
I’ll embrace impulse and shine
Tangled within “justice”, I get hurt, count my sins
Nightmares continuously invading the bottomless abyss
Trusting, being betrayed… Memories smeared with blood
Reversed desires baring their fangs
(Misery) When did it begin? When even reason is burnt out
Nothing can be saved by total destruction, so…
Please give me a sign
Will this sorrowful song reach anyone?
A soul shaking with lamentation, realizing its powerlessness
Dignified, piercing courage (Glorious Break)
As I am, as myself
Things like “real strength”, things I hope for
Pounding ―vital―, wake up
With a final breath…!
Now, I send a prayer to the heavens
Please grant me another sliver of strength…
Do I have the burden of preparedness in my heart?
Shall I face it without fear?
Now, with unbreakable fighting spirit (Glorious Break)
I’ll just flap my wings towards the dawn sky
That’s the Reason why I can fight…!

Ima, ten ni toi kakeru negai
Mou hitofuri no chikara wo kudasai…
Se ou kakugo wa mune ni aru ka
Chikara to wa nanika
Reason why I can fight…!
Nukumori yori kodoku ga fusawashii
Sou ii kikase kokoro wo koroshite wa
Itsuwari no “tsuyosa” ni sugatteita
Namida wo kasaneru tabi shoumei sareru genjitsu wa
Dokomademo zankoku na ―termination―
(Desperate) aragaezu ni nejirete yuku inori wa
Kotae wo motome kurui musebu you ni yami no hate he… sakebu!
Ima, ten ni toi kakeru negai
Mou hitofuri no chikara wo kudasai…
Motomete wa ikenai, to
Kobami nagara nobasu kono te wa
Nando kizutsuitemo (Glorious Break)
Shoudou daite kagayaki hanatou
“Seigi” wo matoi nagara kizutsuke, tsumi wo kazoe
Soko naki shinen de akumu ni okasare tsuzuketeita
Shinjite, uragirarete… omoide wa chi nurarete
Gyakuryuu shita setsubou ga kiba wo tateru
(Misery) itsukara darou riyuu sae moe tsukita
Subete wo kowasu koto de sukuwareru mono nado nai dakara…
Douka shimeshite hoshii
Setsunaru uta wa dareka ni todoiteiru no ka
Doukoku ni furueru tamashii muryokusa omoi shitte
Rin to, tsuranuku yuuki wo (Glorious Break)
Ari no mama ni jibun rashiku
“Shinjitsu no tsuyosa” to wa nanika nozonda mono wa nanika
Myaku utsu, ―vital― mezame yo
Kesshi no ibuki de…!
Ima, ten ni toi kakeru negai
Mou hitofuri no chikara wo kudasai…
Se ou kakugo wa mune ni aru ka
Osorezu tachi mukau ka
Iza, orenu toushi de (Glorious Break)
Ake no sora he habataku dake
Sore ga Reason why I can fight…!

今、天に問い掛ける願い
もうひとふりの力を下さい…
背負う覚悟は胸に在るか
力とは何か
Reason why I can fight…！
ぬくもりより孤独が相応しい
そう言い聞かせ 心を殺しては
偽りの「強さ」に縋っていた
涙を 重ねる度 証明される現実は
何処までも残酷な結末―termination―
(Desperate)抗えずに捻れてゆく祈りは
答えを求め 狂い咽ぶように 闇の果てへ…叫ぶ！
今、天に問い掛ける願い
もうひとふりの力を下さい…
求めてはいけない、と
拒みながら伸ばすこの手は
何度傷ついても(Glorious Break)
衝動抱いて 輝き放とう
「正義」を纏いながら 傷つけ、罪を数え
底無き深淵で悪夢に侵され続けていた
信じて、裏切られて…想い出は血塗られて
逆流した切望が牙を立てる
(Misery)いつからだろう 理由さえ燃え尽きた
全てを壊すことで救われるものなどない だから…
どうか示してほしい
切なる歌は誰かに届いているのか
慟哭に震える魂 無力さ思い知って
凛と、貫く勇気を(Glorious Break)
ありのままに 自分らしく
「真実の強さ」とは何か 望んだモノは何か
脈打つ、生命反応―vital― 目醒めよ
決死の息吹で…！
今、天に問い掛ける願い
もうひとふりの力を下さい…
背負う覚悟は胸に在るか
怖れず立ち向かうか
いざ、折れぬ闘志で(Glorious Break)
暁(あけ)の空へ 羽撃くだけ
それが Reason why I can fight…！
