Lyrics[]
- 魂(こころ)に刻んだ自らが決意
- 生涯に一度の覚悟
- 光には影が寄り添うが如く
- どこまでも あなたと進む
- 儚き人の世で出逢いし主君(あるじ)
- 駆けのぼる若き竜よ
- ただ 時には友が如く
- まだ 時には楯となるを
- 定めし人生に悔いなし
- 煌めきの影となりて
- 守り抜く 走り抜く
- あなたから受け取りし恩義を抱き
- ひとすじに此の役目全うし駆け抜け続けたい
- 其れこそが 我が本望なり
- 数多(あまた)のもののふ 日の本に居ても
- 生涯に一人の出会い
- 有難き日々は形なき家宝(たから)
- この胸に 藏(しま)いて疾走る(はしる)
- 光陰矢の如し 思い出はあれど
- 振向かず前を向く
- ただ あなたと同じ道を
- そう 遙かな同じ天(そら)を
- 見つめたあの日と同じように
- 煌めきの影となりて
- とめどなく 迷いなく
- 終(つい)の刻(とき)来るまでは 止まらぬまま
- 戦うが我が使命 ひたすらに駆け抜け続けゆく
- それ以外道なし
- 何処からか響くのは 笛に似た風の音か？
- それとも新たな時代の足音か？
- 竜が時代 来(きた)るはず
- 煌めきの影となりて
- 守り抜く 走り抜く
- あなたから受け取りし恩義を抱き
- ひとすじに此の役目全うし駆け抜け続けたい
- 其れこそが 我が本望なり

- In my brief human existence, I met my one true master:
- a young dragon, soaring to the heavens
- At times, he is like my friend
- Other times, he becomes my shield
- There is no doubt in my mind that my life is one without regret
- I shall become a glistening shadow:
- one that protects and runs to the end
- I have received the debt you have given me and embrace it
- I want to devote my everything to the role bestowed upon me
- It is my heart's desire
- Though there are many samurai in the land of the rising sun,
- there is only one I have met that shall last a lifetime
- These many days of gratification are my indefinite treasure
- I store them within my heart as I charge forth
- Although I have memories of the time that has passed,
- they seldom come to mind as we proceed forward
- I only think of being on the same path as you
- Yes, just like that distant sky
- we saw on that day
- I shall become a glimmering shadow:
- one that never tires and never wavers
- Until the time when my end comes, I shall not be stopped
- It is my mission to fight. I continue to rush forth with devotion
- There is no other path for me
- Somewhere, a sound reverberates. Could it be a flute resembling the howling wind?
- Or could it be the footsteps of a new era?
- It should be the coming age of the dragon
- I shall become a glistening shadow:
- one that protects and holds out to the end
- I embrace the obligation you have given me
- I want to devote my everything to the role bestowed upon me
- That alone is my deepest desire
