Oh… Oh… Da…
Oh… Oh… Da… omae to

tachi tomaru hima nankanai sa   kangaeru yoyuu nankanai sa
arittake no omoi mune ni   shakunetsu no tatakai no naka he

amari ni mo ooki na   chikara no kabe   sekai no yami
zettai makeru mon ka   genkai koete

ima wa wakaranai koto bakari dakedo
shinjiru kono michi wo susumu dake sa
donna teki demo   mikata demo kamawanai
kono te wo hanasumonka   makka na chikai

itsu made mo   itsu made mo   oi tsudzukerunda
doko made mo   doko made mo   ashita he no yuuki wo
doko made mo   doko made mo   moetagiru haato wo   omae to

itsudatte kibou ni afureta   sono egao   kodomotachi no yume
doushitemo mamori nukanakucha   kono atsui chi ga nagare deru kagiri

nan demo ii kara  dare mo nakanai   sekai ga hoshii
zettai mitsukerunda shinjitsu no kagi

With you…

There’s no time to stand idle, and no luxury to just think
Gather your fighting spirit in your chest, within a raging battlefield

In a world filled with massive things, hurdling walls, gathering darkness
I won’t admit defeat, pushing myself to the limit!

Right now, there are so many things I don’t understand,
But for now I’ll just press forward on this path I believe in
It doesn’t matter what enemies, or allies, may cross my path
I will never let this hand go! A red-blooded oath!

Always… always… Chasing after
Ever on… ever on… The strength of tomorrow
Anywhere… anywhere… My heart burns with you

I was always filled with such hope, for that smile, a dream of children
I must protect it at all costs, as long as my boiling blood flows

I don’t care how it happens; I want a world where no one cries
I will be sure to find it, the key to unlock all truths

Even if I should slip up, and feel depressed,
I won’t admit defeat, pressing my way forwards
I will trust in my mission, to protect all loved ones
I will hold it close always! A red-blooded oath!

Right now, there are so many things I don’t understand,
But for now I’ll just press forward on this path I believe in
It doesn’t matter what enemies, or allies, may cross my path
I will never let this hand go! A red-blooded oath!

Always… always… Chasing after
Ever on… ever on… The strength of tomorrow
Always… always… Chasing after
Anywhere… anywhere… My heart burns with you
