Lyrics

omoidasu darou
ano hi no jouki ni
ooku wo ushinatte

musuu ni aru ayamachi no ato
susumedo michi ga mienu toki ni
omae wa itta
“myakuuchi moyuru sono chi ni toe”
kotaero kodou

koutetsu no kabaneri yo
saa tachiagare
ono ga subete chi ni tatakitsuke
ima sono kokoro wa chikatta tomo no tame ni
moyase yo sono inochi
kaeteyuke sekai wo

omoidasu darou
ano hi no jibun wo
dare ga yurusu darou

yami ga torau nibita kokoro wo
mamorenakatta mono wo omoi
nageke soshite sono itami ga
omae wo ikasu tsuyosa to shiru

fukutsu no kabaneri yo

aragau sono te wa kirihiraku darou
naseru ka kokoro

ga subete chi ni tatakitsuke
ima sono kokoro wa chikatta tomo no tame ni
moyase yo sono inochi

English Translation

You will remember
In the steam of that day
Lost much

Traces of countless mistakes
Even when the path is unclear as we advance
You said
"Ask your pulsating, burning blood"
Answer, heartbeat

Oh, Kabaneri of iron
Now, stand up
Throw yourself entirely onto the ground
Now, for the sake of the friend you pledged your heart to
Ignite your life
Change the world

You will remember
The person you were on that day
Who will forgive

The darkness captures the dull heart
Thinking of those you couldn't protect
Grieve, and then realize that pain
Gives you strength to live

Unyielding Kabaneri
Now, surpass it
The resisting hands will cut through
Can your heart do it
A resolution that does not waver
Pierce through with that determination
Scratch at the ground and seize it

Certainly heard
In the midst of sorrow
When everyone looks down
"Raise your face," they said

Do not fear, look
What's there is hope
In both eyes
Strongly wish for it, it will come true

Oh, Kabaneri of iron
Now, stand up
To all who are everywhere

Oh, Kabaneri of iron
Now, stand up
Throw yourself entirely onto the ground
Now, for the sake of the friend you pledged your heart to
Ignite your life
Change the world
