Lyrics

Taken from Koei Wiki

In this world of chaos
乱れし世を
midareshi yo o
I quietly watch and walk
見据えて行くべし
misete yukubeshi
within its dark prison
娑婆は闇よ この世界
shaba wa yami yo kono sekai

I defy everything including the cruel fates
無残な運命 全てに抗い
muzan na sadame subete ni aragai
and desire with earnest to escape from here
真っ直ぐ進め 此処から
massugu susume koko kara

Even in this despair, I will live as I please
絶望さえも糧に生きてゆく
zetsubou saemo kate ni ikite yuku
and I shall survive
そして 生き抜くべし
soshite ikinukubeshi

I play for you the sound of my soul
奏でてみせよう 魂の音
kanadete miseyou tamashii no oto
Tear apart the distorted evil
歪んだ魔性を 引き裂いて
yuganda mashou o kikisaite
as the piercing melody reaches its climax
凄絶なまでに 鋭き旋律
seizetsu na made ni surudoki shirabe
Let it ring in this world and beyond
この世の果てまで響きゆけ 遠くへ
kono yo no hate made hibiki yuke touku he

Should you fault me, then so be it
悩んで上等
nagande joutou
But, do not find doubt in your judgment
されど迷わぬ
saredo mayowamu
Every decision is final with no return
決めたが最後 二度とは
kimeta ga saigo nidou to wa

Dark desires
黒き欲望
kuroki yokubou
are ruined by animosity
破滅に抗い
hametsu ni aragai
Bet everything on your escape
おのが存亡 賭けてゆく
ono ga sonbou kakete yuku

I will not waste the many lives which were scattered
多くの散った命 無駄にしまい
ooku no chitta inochi muda ni shimai
Until the day we meet again
いつか会う時まで
itsuka au toki made

I play for you the voice of my soul
奏でてみせよう 魂の声
kanadete miseyou tamashii no koe
Cut through the pitch black darkness of this age
時代の暗闇 斬り裂いて
jidai no kurayami kirisaite
with an intense melody stronger than a blade
刃より強く 烈しき音色
yaiba yori tsuyoku hageshiki meiro
that reaches the borders of Nirvana
涅槃の果てまで届きゆけ
nehan no hate made todoki yuke

So it continues as time flows towards tomorrow
明日へ時はそう流れ続ける
ashita he toki wa sou nagare tsutsukeru
But for now, I go forth with pride ah
たった今 あっぱれにただ行くだけ 嗚呼
tatta ima appare ni tada yuku dake ah

I play for you the sound of my soul
奏でてみせよう 魂の音
kanadete miseyou tamashii no oto
A fragment of sorrow resides within my chest
悲しみの破片 この胸に
kanashimi no kakera kono mune ni
as the piercing melody reaches its climax
凄絶なまでに 鋭き旋律 
seizetsu na made ni surudoki shirabe

Let it ring in this world and beyond
この世の果てまで 響きゆけ 遠くへ
kono yo no hate made hibiki yuke touku he

I play for you the voice of my soul
奏でてみせよう 魂の声
kanadete miseyou tamashii no koe
Cut through the pitch black darkness of this age
時代の暗闇 斬り裂いて
jidai no kurayami kirisaite
with an intense melody stronger than a blade
刃より強く 烈しき音色
yaiba yori tsuyoku hageshiki meiro
that reaches the borders of Nirvana
涅槃の果てまで届きゆけ
nehan no hate made todoki yuke
and anywhere beyond without end
果てなく 遠くへ
hatenaku touku he
