AK-69 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
皆眠りに就くのに 睨みつける城下を一人
ローソクを手に取り したためる未来のテリトリー
誰の城に仕掛けるつもり 筋金入りの侍 Mnbbin′
焼き付けるてインパクト 敵はたちまち落城
紐締め直せ兜 覚え悟る己の覚悟
俺は死ぬまで Warrior だで流す血と汗と涙
宿る城壁にゃ神が
止めてみろて We never stop
ほら抜けよ刀
どちらかが散るか We warriors
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ya betta know who we are We warriors
月明かりが照らす盛り場 Pray
Yo 戦友 T-X, KEISHI Forever
天守閣守る尾張の王者
女がほっとかねぇ様 Casanova
いつでも勝負は捨てねぇ男は
群雄割拠で群を抜く思想は
血と汗 涙が俺の一張羅
他力にすがりゃ近づく It's over
逃げてちゃ拝めねぇ四葉の Clover
刀研いどる 努力 苦労は
人にゃ見せねぇ 夢に誓う Loyal
決して利口じゃねぇよ でも今日は負け戦になれども
挑みに行こうか Oh
人は誰しも怖がり
行けどもいつも孤独と交わり
乗り込む Rarri
絵になるこの終わり
ほら刀抜き掴むなり明日を
止めてみろて We never stop
ほら抜けよ刀
どちらかが散るか We warriors
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ya betta know who we are We warriors
