Shin'ei no Honoo

真影の炎 

Shin'ei no Honoo
A portrait's flame

KANJI 

ひとりひとり 別の道なら　ひとつひとつ 違う色彩
喜怒哀楽の想いを馳せる　昔日の面影を残して

永き月を巡り　受け継がれし心が
時を超え幾度も　この身に問いかけてくる

「お前が描くあの男は何者なのか？」

※紅く燃える 炎の奥に　映る確かな 歴史の影
与えられた 命題のため　光る切っ先は戸惑いを断つ

生きた証 　あの物語　決して変わることのないように
迷わない　もう恐れはしない　疾走等身大のままで

それぞれの宿命を信じて

※繰り返し

TRANSLATION 

If we all walk a different road,...
We will all sport different colors.
Thinking of all that we've been through,...
We're but a shadow of our former selves.

Although we have travelled far and wide,...
The heart that we inherited,...
No matter how much time goes by...
Keeps asking the same question.

That man whom you picture in your mind...
Who is he truly?

※Within the blazing, crimson flames...
The unquestionable shadow of history is reflected.
To carry out the tasks given to us,...
Our shining blades will eradicate any confusion.

The stories told, the proof they lived,...
To make sure all stays the same,...
We won't hesitate, nor be afraid anymore.
We'll run on, remaining faithful to ourselves!
We'll believe in our respective destinies!
