Kanji
曖昧な評伝 拵え て浸ってるの 世世 歳歳 何をまだ持ってるの いつのまにか独りになった ため息ひとつ吐いて 嘆いて

情熱 やしたあの頃を 心血注いで取り戻すんだ 縁で繋がれば この日々も 捨てるほど壊れてないだろう

歩みを止めないで 希望を捨てないで どうか振り向いて どうか 君よ

ジンジン 心が傷むなら 観念の檻を打ち破るんだ 延々 月日は巡るけど 捨てるには闇が浅いだろう

情熱 燃やしたあの頃を 心血注いで取り戻すんだ 愛を分け合えば この日々も もう一度 君を照らすだろう

English
You allowed yourself to be consumed After all these years what have you gained? Before you knew it you were all alone You let out a painful sigh

You were once burning with passion You must pour your heart into your soul Compared to the challenges of today It's not worth throwing it all away

Do not stop to walk Do not give up hope Please turn back Please hear me!

If your heart is tingling with pain Break free your idea from it's cage The endless waiting is over at last Only shallow darkness is left behind

You allowed yourself to be consumed After all these years what have you gained? The days that you used to love Will once again shine on you
