Lyrics

Tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta
Boku wo tsurete susume
Dorodarake no soumatou ni you

Kowabaru kokoro furueru te wa
Tsukamitai mono ga aru
Sore dake sa

Yoru no nioi ni (I spend my day and night) 
Sora nirandemo (Staring into the sky) 
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 mamoru 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 tsudzuke 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 yadotte

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

Unmei wo terashite

English Meaning

[Intro]

I've found a reason to become strong

Take me with you, and let's march forward

[Verse 1]

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 (I'll spend all thirty nights)
Even if I stare at the sky (Staring into the sky)
The only thing that can change is myself

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
Unforsaken dreams and an unstoppable present
If I can become stronger for someonе
I'll be thankful to carry all the sadness
I graspеd what it meant to protect
While being beaten up by the world

A crimson flower, bloom proudly and illuminate my fate

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Empty secrets, a crumbling conclusion 
Cruelly torn apart, the breath of a scream

Someone's laughinh shadow, someone's sobbing

Everybody desires happiness

[Chorus]

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
A crimson flower, bloom proudly and illuminate my fate
