Kooru shin-you-ju no aida wo
Fukaku   kakenukeru sadame
Nozomi   hakanaku dakiyose
Moeru   arashi no uzu e
                                               Destiny, fleeing deep
                                               Among the frozen evergreen trees
                                               Draw the wish close, briefly
                                               And step into the eddys of the
                                                 firestorm
Aa Tozakaru hikari
Aa kodou no sakebi ni
                                               Ah, the distant light
                                               Ah, in the cry of the rhythm

Setsunai hodo ni   kimi wo omotte
Kono ude ga   kono ude ga
Daichi wo koete   kokoro wo koete
Taisetsu na hito no tame ni?
                                               I thought about you until it
                                                 hurt
                                               With these arms, with these arms
                                               I'll cross the land, I'll cross
                                                 my heart - 
                                               For the sake of the one I hold
                                                 dear?

Nagai REERU no kanata de
Dare ga warau to iu no?
Itsu yurushiaeru no ka?
Itsu owari ga kuru no ka?
                                               Who would smile
                                               On the other side of long rails?
                                               When will we be able to forgive
                                                 each other?
                                               When will the end arrive?
Tomerarenakute  nogarerarenai
Gensou ni ayatsurare
Tesaguri dake de hashiritsuzukeru
Kono saki ga ayamachi de arou to
                                               I can't stop it, I can't avoid 
                                                 it
                                               Controlled by the illusion
                                               The only way to keep running is 
                                                 trial and error
                                               Surely mistakes lie ahead
                                               
Nani ga ai nanoka?  Nani ga uso nanoka?
Wakaranai - mujou na jikan ga semaru
                                               What is love?  What is a lie?
                                               I don't know - I'm oppressed by
                                                 uncertain time

Ima shijima wo kirisaki
Ima yatsura ni oritatsu Aa
Ima nerai wo sadamete
Te wo   kakeru shunkan ni
                                               Now I'll break the silence
                                               Now I'll alight on them
                                               Now I'll determine my objective
                                               In the instant I touch it

Setsunai hodo ni   kimi wo omotte
Kono ude ga   kono ude ga
Kogoeru hodo ni   Furueru hodo ni
Kimi dake wo   kimi dake wo
Haru ga kureba   yoru ga akereba
Ano sora e   ano basho de
                                               I thought about you until it
                                                 hurt
                                               With these arms, with these arms
                                               Until I'm numb, until I'm shaking
                                               Only to you, only to you
                                               If spring comes, if morning comes
                                               To that sky, at that place
faster than anyone
if I ran through the dark
Hontou ni musubareru darou ka?                 Would I truly be fulfilled?

Nani ga ai nanoka?  Nani ga uso nanoka?
Wakaranai - tada kime dake ga koishii
                                               What is love?  What is a lie?
                                               I don't know - only that you're
                                                 the only thing I love
