Takanori Nishikawa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
歩き続けた his story
誓った fearless 砕けて hopeless
何を得 失っただろう
それでも鼓動が 煌めきを求め
見果てぬ夢へ 誘う
The shadow of eagles across the moon
痛みや傷跡は過去に捨てて
Wow, wow, wow, wow
孤独と云う名の鎧
心を隠した his story
馴れ合う温度 知れば period
自由を失うだけ
それでも予期せず 感じた温もり
振り切り明日を探す
My life goes by like passing clouds
Departed the days, I will be proud
自分の足跡が歴史になる
Wow, wow, wow, wow
The land is cloaked in deepest blue
The shadow of eagles across the moon
痛みや傷跡は過去に捨てて
Wow, wow, wow, wow
