KANJI *:----:*:--:*:----:*:---:

I. The Sense of My Life

何故争う為に生きる? 何故傷つけ合うのだろう?
数多の希望は倒れて問いかける 流れた幾千の血の意味を

夢破れても越えゆく先を見上げ
この命の揺れる灯火を お前と共に…

Under (the) force of courage Yes, we will fight surely
舞い降りし未来へ
Under the promised land we will go certainly
挑みゆく大志を
We stand together, we keep fighting
Raise our fists Raise our swords

哀しみが生み出すもの 僅かに見えかけていたもの
宿命に揺れる足元に託しゆく お前の最後の涙の向こう

明日見えずとも越えゆく先を見上げ
この命の揺れる灯火を お前と共に

Under (the) force of courage Yes, we will fight surely
未だ見えぬ未来へ
Under the promised land we will go certainly
揺るぎなき大志を
We stand together, we keep fighting
Raise our fists Raise our swords

II. Dream and Reality

眠る身体に突き刺さる 幻影に惑わされ
記憶の中で拡がる情景に 何度も己を重ねてゆく

夢破れても越えゆく先を見上げ
この命の揺れる灯火を お前と共に
We keep fighting

III. Just for the Faith

不条理な世界の中 求める事は同じで
傷つけ合う事だけで 流れる涙の意味を知る
交わした約束へと 思いを馳せて駆ける
揺るぎない思いを乗せ 追憶の雨に濡れながら

夢破れても越えゆく先を見上げ
この命の揺れる灯火を お前と共に
We keep fighting

Under (the) force of courage Yes, we will fight surely
舞い降りし未来へ
Under the promised land we will go certainly
挑みゆく大志を
We've been searching for our sense of life Just for the faith

Now we are completely invincible
We are united, power, (and) force of courage
We'll fight just for reality of this world
We never give up and surely raise our swords
Force of courage…

護るべき者たちを 信じるべき夢に乗せて
散りゆく希望纏い 立ち上がれ未来に向かって
We believe our strength We're one

IV. Pray to the Sky

Even if we fell down on the ground,
we strongly believe (the) light lights up our feet (and)
keep going to win (and) never lose our faith
We are the force of courage

Even if we fell down on the ground,
we only believe (that) we can see the rising sun
Keep going to win (and) never lose our faith
Until the end…

Pray to the edge of the sky
We go to where no one could ever see
Pray to the edge of the sky
Surely we carry out promise with you
Til the end we will keep fighting for you
Til the end I will stand there for you
And we will (surely) stand on the promised land,
we'll raise our swords, and raise our flag…

I. The Sense of My Life

Naze arasou tame ni ikiru? Naze kizutsukeau no darou?

I. The Sense Of My Life

Why do we live for fighting? Why do we hurt each other?
When our numerous hopes die, we start asking what was the meaning of shed blood

Even if my dreams will die, looking up to the distant future, I will expose flickering light of my life together with you...

Under (the) force of courage Yes, we will fight surely
We will fly down to the future
Under the promised land we will go certainly
We will take up the gauntlet thrown by our ambitions
We stand together, we keep fighting 
Raise our fists Raise our swords

Things born out from sorrow, things merely noticeable
I entrust everything to my feet shaking under the burden of fate and go beyond the last of your tears

Even if my dreams will die, looking up to the distant future, I will expose flickering light of my life together with you...

Under (the) force of courage Yes, we will fight surely
For the future yet unknown
Under the promised land we will go certainly
With unchallenged ambition
We stand together, we keep fighting 
Raise our fists Raise our swords

II. Dream And Reality

Misled by illusions stick into my sleeping body
In scenes that stretch in my memories I see myself

Even if my dreams will die, looking up to the distant future, I will expose flickering light of my life together with you...
We keep fighting

III. Just For The Faith

In this absurd world we search always for the same
By merely hurting each other we will understand the meaning of shed tears
Thinking of the promise we made, with the strength of unwavering thoughts, 
Soaked in rain of memories, we advance

Even if my dreams will die, looking up to the distant future, I will expose flickering light of my life together with you...
We keep fighting

Under (the) force of courage Yes, we will fight surely
We will fly down to the future
Under the promised land we will go certainly
We will take up the gauntlet thrown by our ambitions
We stand together, we keep fighting Raise our fists Raise our swords

Now we are completely invincible We are united, power, (and) force of courage
We'll fight just for reality of this world We never give up and surely raise our swords
Force of courage...

Encouraged by dreams we should believe in, for people, whom we should protect
Clung to our fading hopes we go toward the rising future
We believe our strength We're one

IV. Pray To The Sky

Even if we fell down on the ground, we strongly believe (the) light lights up our feet (and)
Keep going to win (and) never lose our faith We are the force of courage
Even if we fell down on the ground, we only believe (that) we can see the rising sun
Keep going to win (and) never lose our faith Until the end...

Pray to the edge of the sky We go to where no one could ever see
Pray to the edge of the sky Surely we carry out promise with you
Til the end we will keep fighting for you Til the end I will stand there for you

And we will (surely) stand on the promised land, we'll raise our swords, and raise our flag...

KANJI *:----:*:--:*:----:*:---:

Now’s the time I slash at you with my sword
I change my sorrow into power
共に掲げた筈の思い断ち切る為

There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to win my honor
Why did you try to do that
There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to guard my life
Why did you tell a lie to me?

Soul of the field and dust of the field
痛哭襲いかかる
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
違う未来を見ていた

I’d believed you all the time but you betrayed me
I thought that our faith was the same
共に勝ち取る筈の理想を断ち切る為

There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to win my honor
Why did you try to do that
There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to guard my life
Why did you tell a lie to me?

Soul of the field and dust of the field
この身に襲いかかる
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
違う未来を見ていた

哀しみと嘆き胸に秘め 僅かな望み託し振るう
悲嘆を叫び君に願う たとえこの身紅く染めても

苦しみと傷み胸に秘め 微かな望み託し駆ける
こだまする最期の叫びは 遠く切なく響いてゆく

Soul of the field and dust of the field
この身に襲いかかる
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
違う未来を見ていた…

ROMAJI *:----:*:--:*:----:*:---:

Now’s the time I slash at you with my sword

Tomo ni kakageta hazu no omoi tachikiru tame

There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to win my honor
Why did you try to do that
There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to guard my life
Why did you tell a lie to me?

Soul of the field and dust of the field
Tsuukoku osoikakaru
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
Chigau asu* wo miteita

I’d believed you all the time but you betrayed me
I thought that our faith was the same
Tomo ni kachitoru hazu no yume* wo tachikiru tame

There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to win my honor
Why did you try to do that
There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to guard my life
Why did you tell a lie to me?

Soul of the field and dust of the field
Kong mi ni osoikakaru
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
Chigau asu wo miteita

Kanashimi to nageki mune ni hime Wazukana nozomi takushifuruu
Hitan wo sakebi kimi ni negau Tatoe kono mi akaku sometemo

Kurushimi to itami mune ni hime Kasukana nozomi takushikakeru
Kodama suru saigo no sakebi wa Tooku setsunaku hibiiteyuku

Soul of the field and dust of the field
Kono mi ni osoikakaru

Now’s the time I slash at you with my sword
I change my sorrow into power
To cut off the thoughts we should stand hand in hand

There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to win my honor
Why did you try to do that
There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to guard my life
Why did you tell a lie to me?

Soul of the field and dust of the field
Pain hunts me down
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
I saw different future

I’d believed you all the time but you betrayed me
I thought that our faith was the same
To cut off dreams of gaining victory together

There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to win my honor
Why did you try to do that
There’s no way to keep a promise ‘cause I have to guard my life
Why did you tell a lie to me?

Soul of the field and dust of the field
(Sorrow) hunts down my body
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul
I saw different future

Sorrow and grief I keep in my heart, I wield my sword believing in mere wish I have
Even if my body will be stained in red Screaming in anguish I beg you

Distress and pain I keep in my heart, I advance against the enemy believing in faint wish I have
My last echoing cry resounds sadly from the distance 

Soul of the field and dust of the field
(Sorrow) hunts down my body
Soul of my sword Fragment of my soul

I saw different future…

I. Reminiscence

II. Rain Of Tears
As sworn allies, we fight Never been apart
Winning is the only way For us to live

Those of who lost their lives Live in our minds
Everything I have seen Still not the past

Grieving rain of tears (Rain of tears)
Just falling on me (Falling on me)
Piercing my heart It flows to the sea (To the sea)

Grieving the rain of blood (Rain of blood)
Just wearing for me (Wearing for me)
Dyeing my soul And it flows to the sea

III. Nightmare

IV. Endless Confliction
Darkness Sadness Madness Ruthless Endless confliction 
Darkness Sadness Madness Ruthless Endless confliction

Darkness Sadness Madness Ruthless Endless confliction
(Wanna) go away Far away Run away Turn away my hideous memories
We both swear that we’ll fight forever It fills us with energy

Darkness Sadness Madness Ruthless Endless confliction
(Wanna) go away Far away Run away Turn away my hideous memories
We both swear that we’ll fight forever It fills us with energy
The time’s ready for a sortie again We will lead to the win

V. Rain Of Tears (Reprise)
As sworn allies, we fight Never been apart
Winning is the only way For us to live

Those of who lost their lives Live in our minds
Everything I have seen Still not the past

Grieving rain of tears (Rain of tears)
Just falling on me (Falling on me)
Piercing my heart It flows to the sea (To the sea)

Grieving the rain of blood (Rain of blood)
Just wearing for me (Wearing for me)

Dyeing my soul And it flows to the sea

Galneryus - The Voice Of Grievous Cry

Lyrics: Syu, SHO, TAKA

ENGLISH *:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆-:

(The) voice of grievous cry We must go forward
(The) grief of cloudy sky What should we do? Just go to the fate?
(The) voice of grievous cry We must fight against
Let us free from pain Where is justice? Distracted by sorrow…

I was walking slowly toward the boundless future
(I) fought day by day, (and even) fought against solitude
Suddenly you appeared in front of me
You and I were in much the same situation

Certainly we can’t change the past But we can shape our future
We have no time to feel sadness Only feel our burning soul

(The) voice of grievous cry We must go forward
(The) grief of cloudy sky What should we do? Just go to the fate?
(The) voice of grievous cry We must fight against
Let us free from pain Where is justice? Distracted by sorrow

(The) road goes on endlessly to destination
You and I are in much the same situation

Certainly we can’t change the past But we can shape our future
We have no time to feel sadness Only feel our burning soul

(The) voice of grievous cry We must go forward
(The) grief of cloudy sky What should we do? Just go to the fate?
(The) voice of grievous cry We must fight against
Let us free from pain Where is justice? Distracted by sorrow

Certainly we can’t change the past But we can shape our future
We have no time to feel sadness Go faster…
Only feel our burning soul

(The) voice of grievous cry We must go forward
(The) grief of cloudy sky What should we do? Just go to the fate?
(The) voice of grievous cry We must fight against
Let us free from pain Where is justice? Distracted by sorrow

(The) voice of grievous cry We must go forward
(The) grief of cloudy sky What should we do? Just go to the fate?
(The) voice of grievous cry We must fight against

Let us free from pain Where is justice? Distracted by sorrow…
