I can’t look back anymore! “Time out” or “Endless maze”? Get and hold your solid faith! Shoot now! Shout now! Ready go! Run forever to find our truly fortune. Eyes on real world, I trust my power and your words. Try forever to save our precious feelings. Break the fake world, I trust one light in my heart.	I can’t look back anymore! “Time out” or “endless maze”? Get and hold your solid faith! Shoot now! shout now! ready go! Run forever to find our true fortune Eyes on the real world I trust my power and your words Try forever to save our precious feelings Break the fake world I trust the one light in my heart
nani wo shinji te ikiru ? kizutsu ku koto yosou wa deki te ita tsumo ri demo dare mo uta gae nakute namida ni somaru keshiki jibun wo miushinatte ta nichijou iki kau fuan na sasayaki fuki to bashi teto ri modo suno… shinjitsu wo !	What do I believe living this life? “Suffering” that was how I would have answered Despite such conviction, I couldn’t doubt those around me I lost sight of myself in a place stained with tears I’ll blow away all the uneasy whispering coming and going so casually and take back… reality!
meza meteku ! kanjou ni mou uso hatsukenai mamori tai nara tachimu kau dake hitori janai wakaru desho ? ano egao ga ima mo tsuyosa wo kureru kara	I’m awakening! with this feeling No more lying If I want to be a defender, I can only stand and fight Do I really know I am not alone? Even now, their smiles Give me strength
Run forever to find our truly fortune. Eyes on real world, I trust my power and your words.	Run forever to find our true fortune Eyes on the real world I trust my power and your words
tooku hanare ta you de kasunda mirai megu au yokan wa kiezu mada mune no oku hibi ite kao wo furi kaeru nara kanousei ni afureru asuhe kimi to mukaou takanatta kodou ga kizanda chikai wa watashitachi wo tsunagu kizuna mou mayo wa nai !	The future became unclear When we seemed far apart (here it comes again) that premonition won’t leave, in my heart (it lingers) looking back upon the past will not change this let’s head for a tomorrow overflowing with possibilities together The oath my beating heart wrote is the bond that ties us I don’t doubt that anymore!
kake nukeru ! akira mezu mayoi nado wasurete tadahita sura oikakete ita machiga imo tada shisamo jibun no dasu “kotae “ hoko reru mono dakara	I’ll run ahead and take the lead! leaving the doubt behind And never giving up I used to only ‘chase’ and nothing more Right or wrong, My own “answer” Is something I can be proud of
I can’t look back anymore! “Time out” or “Endless maze”? Get and hold your solid faith! Shoot now! Shout now! Ready go!	I can’t look back anymore! “Time out” or “endless maze”? Get and hold your solid faith! Shoot now! shout now! ready go!
yuzure nai yume gaaru kono tede kanae tai donna itami mo nori koe ra reru hitori dato omotteta ano hi no jibun heto sayonara tsuge ru kara maze meteku ! kanjou ni mou uso hatsukenai mamori tai nara tachi mukau dake hitori janai wakaru deshou ? ano egao ga ima mo tsuyosa wo kureru kara	There are dreams I can’t surrender I want to make them reality by own hands I’ll overcome any pain to do it I felt that I was alone But now it’s “goodbye” To the person I was I’m awakening! with this feeling No more lying If I want to be a defender, I can only stand and fight Do I really know I am not alone? Even now, their smiles Give me strength
