闘え!光りの戦士よ
この愛を守るため今
Final Wars

哀しみが舞い降りる地球(ホシ)
すべての夢はそこから始まる
愛しさを強さに変えて
熱い鼓動を呼び覚ませ

たとえ暗闇が未来を奪っても
あきらめない心が希望へと導く
闘え!光りの戦士よ
遙かな銀河を超えて
限りない世界の果てへ
この愛を守るため今
最後の夢は終わらない
すべてを賭けて Final Wars

時の彼方遙かな想い
涙はあの日に帰って行くけど
大切なのは立ち止まらずに
一筋の光りを信じること
たとえ世界が終わりを告げても
あきらめない命は
永遠(トワ)の星になる
闘え!光りの戦士よ
たぎる想い胸に秘めて
限りない世界の果てへ
この愛を守るため今
最後の夢は終わらない
命を賭けて Final Wars

きっといつの日か自由の光りに
包まれた世界が君を待ってるのさ
闘え!光りの戦士よ
コバルトの記憶の中で
