Yubisaki wa tetsu no nioi Susume hajike dono michi komu desho Find a way koko kara My fingertips smell like iron. Move ahead! Strum those strings! It’s crowded, at any rate. Find a way from here. Rock o kanadero Tooku o misuero Ikitsugi sae dekinai machi no naka Play some rock Gaze into the distance Inside this city where you can’t even take a breather. Karasutachi kaakaa to naku yo Itsumo omou yo itsu neteru n daro The crows cry out, “Caw, caw”. I’m always thinking of them. I wonder when they’ll go to sleep. Song for utau yo Rock o hibikase Crow to utau yo In a song for me to sing out. Making rock echo With the crows, I’ll sing out. Sou iu yatsu mo ita ki ga suru Urusai koto dake iu no nara Shikkoku no hane ni sarawarete kiete kure I feel like there were people who once said that. If you’re only going to say annoying things, Let the jet black wings carry you away and just disappear. Yubi mo surikirete itai Demo ne yaru yo konya mo biggu na sutoorii My fingers are worn out and in pain, But, still, I’ll perform. Tonight will be a big story. Found out mitsukeru Rock o kanadero Luck o utau yo You’ll find what you’re looking for. Let’s rock out and play on. I’ll take my luck and sing it out. Toorisugite iku hito no naka Yami ni tozasareta suteeji de Ima kibou no uta uta yo Within all the people who pass through. On this stage enclosed in the darkness, I sing my poem of hope right now. Anata datte tsukareteru deshou Sono senaka ni mo todoketai yo Konna kurayami no naka kara no Kibou terasu hikari no uta o Sono uta o Even you must also be tired. I want to send this to that back of yours - From within the pitch darkness, The song of light that gleams with hope… Yes, that song…
