Lyrics

 Taken from Koei Wiki

The sound of time
時の音
toki no oto
The voice of darkness
闇の声
yami no koe
cuts through the quiant silence
静寂をただ切り裂いて
seijyaku wo tada kiri-saite
The moon's shadow
月の影
tsuki no kage
The star's trace
星の跡
hoshi no ato


melt into the evening
姿は宵に溶けゆく
sugata wa yoi ni tokeyuku
Someday, when ideals at last find their way,
いつか辿り着く理想を
itsuka tadori tsuku risou wo
the drawn feathers of war will again turn
描く白羽また翻し
egaku hakuu mata hirugaeshi
With goals still left to be reached
目指すものだけが辿り着く
mezasumono dake ga tadori tsuku
I head towards the opened door
開かれた扉の向こう
hirakareta tobira no mukou

At last, the surface of water trembles and shifts
今揺れる水面にうつろいだ
ima yureru minamo ni utsuroi da
These tranquil thoughts emit light
ゆるぎなき思いが光を放つ
yuruginaki omoi ga hikari wo hanatsu
Dancing below, gazing up at this world
踊るこの世を仰ぎ見て
odoru kono yo wo aogi mite
The white dragon clad in foam
白き泡纏う龍は
shiroki awamatou ryuu wa
begins its heavenly flight to the sky
天飛翔昇り
sora kake nobori
to tempt the restraints of time
時をいざなう
toki o izanau

The dream of eternity
永久の夢
towa no yume
The bonds of intelligence
知恵の糸
chie no ito
are reeled in again in a flash
閃きをまだ手繰り寄せ
hirameki o mata taguri yose
The wind's dance
風の舞
kaze no mai
The color of the sky
空の色
sora no iro
Their phosphorescence sparkle in the universe
燐光　宙にきらめく
rinkou chuuni kirameku

Towards the unstable, blazing future
揺れる陽炎の未来へ
yureru kagerou wa mirai he
to draw a new land of lush evergreen
描く翠緑萌ゆ新たな地
egaku midori moyu aratana chi
Seize only our objective
目指すものだけが掴み取る
mezasu mono dake ga tsukami toru
and head towards the opened door
開かれた扉の向こう
hirakareta tobira no mukou

Floating there atop the trembling water
今揺れる水面にたゆたうは
ima yureru minamo ni tayutau wa
gushes unchanging determination and noble bonds
沸きいずる思いと気高き絆
waki izuru omoi to kedakaki kizuna
I hide these brilliant hopes within my heart
さやかな願望胸に秘め
sayakana nozomi mune ni hime
The white dragon surrounded in bubbles
白き泡纏う龍は
shiroki awamatou ryuu wa
pierces through the clouds
雲を貫き
kumo wo tsuranuki
to tempt the restraints of time
時をいざなう
toki wo izanau

The dragon awakens
龍は目覚める
ryuu wa mesameru

At last, the surface of water trembles and shifts
今揺れる水面にうつろいだ
ima yureru minamo ni utsuroi da
These tranquil thoughts emit light
ゆるぎなき思いが光を放つ
yuruginaki omoi ga hikari wo hanatsu
Dancing below, gazing up at this world
踊るこの世を仰ぎ見て
odoru kono yo wo aogi mite
The white dragon clad in foam
白き泡纏う龍は
shiroki awamatou ryuu wa
goes to heaven… Ah
天を…嗚呼
ten wo... aa

Floating there atop the trembling water
今揺れる水面にたゆたうは
ima yureru minamo ni tayutau wa
gushes unchanging determination and noble bonds
沸きいずる思いと気高き絆
waki izuru omoi to kedakaki kizuna
I hide these brilliant wishes within my heart
さやかな願望胸に秘め
sayakana nozomi mune ni hime
The white dragon surrounded in bubbles
白き泡纏う龍は
shiroki awamatou ryuu wa
soars towards the heavens
天飛翔昇り
sora kake nobori
to ask for time
時をいざなう
toki o izanau
