刹那 生き抜いてくよ 息絶えることも知らずに
空 埋め尽くしてゆく この世界 食い尽くす悪を
この手なら打ち砕ける
蒼い夜を越えてゆけ 闇の森をすり抜けて
そこに待ってる何か求め
銀色に輝く道 遠くから聞こえる声
確かに僕らを呼んでる
あの声
"Who broke this world?"
"Why broke this..."
嘘と欲望と傷と 埋(うず)もれた 捨て切れぬ夢と
愛で造られた Fortress
茨の庭越えてゆけ たとえ 涙流しても
かすかな光掴むまでは
止まれない
悲しみに歪んだ声 僕の勇気に変えるよ
君の笑顔
取り戻す日まで
"Who broke this world?"
"Who broke this world?"
生きるものの全て 僕らは呼び合う
命を感じて
蒼い夜を越えてゆけ 闇の森をすり抜けて
過去と未来 繋いでいる
道はあるさ
向かい風の谷を越え 嵐さえも身にまとい
勇者の瞳のままで
進んでゆく
