Lyrics

tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta
boku wo tsurete susume

doro darake no soumatou ni you kowabaru kokoro
furueru te wa tsukamitai mono ga aru sore dake sa
yoru no nioi ni sora nirandemo
kawatte ikeru no wa jibun jishin dake sore dake sa

tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta
boku wo tsurete susume

dou shitatte! kesenai yume mo tomarenai ima mo
dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nareru nara
arigatou kanashimi yo
sekai ni uchinomesarete makeru imi wo shitta
guren no hana yo sakihokore! unmei wo terashite

inabikari no zatsuon ga mimi wo sasu
tomadou kokoro
yasashii dake ja mamorenai mono ga aru?
wakatteru kedo
suimenka de karamaru zenaku
sukete mieru gizen ni tenbatsu
(Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, Tell me... I don’t need you!)
itsuzai no hana yori idomi tsuzuke saita ichirin ga utsukushii

ranbou ni shikitsumerareta
togedarake no michi mo
honki no boku dake ni arawareru kara
norikoete miseru yo
kantan ni katazukerareta mamorenakatta yume mo
guren no shinzou ni ne wo hayashi
kono chi ni yadotteru

hito shirezu hakanai chiriyuku ketsumatsu
mujou ni yabureta himei no kaze fuku
dareka no warau kage dareka no nakigoe
daremo ga shiawase wo negatteru

dou shitatte! kesenai yume mo tomarenai ima mo
dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nareru nara
arigatou kanashimi yo
sekai ni uchinomesarete makeru imi wo shitta
guren no hana yo sakihokore! unmei wo terashite

English Translation

I've found a reason to become strong
Take me with you, and let's march forward!

I chase a muddy lantern a stiffened heart,
My shivering hands have something they want to grab, that's all.
In the scent of night, even if I stare at the sky,
The only thing that can change is myself, that's all.

I've found a reason to become strong
Take me with you, and let's march forward!

Unforsaken dreams and an unstoppable present
If I can become stronger for someone
I'll be thankful, to carry all the sadness!
I grasped what it meant to protect, while being beaten up by the world
Oh crimson flower, bloom proudly and illuminate my fate.

The sound of lightning rings in my ears
a bewildered heart
With kindness alone, there will be things I cannot protect.
I know that but..
Good and evil entwined under the surface
I will cast divine punishment on hypocrisy
(Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, Tell me... I don’t need you!)
Rather than a brilliant flower, a lone enduring one is beautiful.

Overwhelmed by violence,
A thorny path
It only appears when I'm serious
I'll prove that I can overcome it
The dream that I couldn't protect, was easily cast aside.
Grow your roots in my crimson heart,
and possess this land.

Empty secrets, a crumbling conclusion
Cruelly torn apart, the breath of a scream
Someone's laughing shadow, someone's sobbing,
Everybody desires happiness

Unforsake dreams and an unstoppable present
I I can become stronger for someone
I'll be thankful,  to carry all the sadness!
I grasped what it meant to protect, while being beaten up by the world
Oh crimson flower, bloom proudly and illuminate my fate.
