爪痕が残るくらい

Tsumeato ga nokoru kurai Your nails leave marks 拳を固く握り締め

Kobushi o kataku nigirishime Clench your fist as hard as you can 今　オレンジの光の中へ Ima orenji no hikari no naka e Step into the orange light Wow oh

いつになく汗が身を引き裂く未知なるハイ・ステージへ

Itsu ni naku ase ga mi o hikisaku Michi naru hai suteiji e Unusually, my sweat tears up my body Go to the higher stage that I haven't seen “超アウェー”“勝ち目はねぇ” ぬかしていれば良い Chō awei kachime wa nei Nukashite ire ba ī I feel like I don't belong, there's no way to win That's nonsense

傷を怖れ　羽撃かぬ人生なんて

Kizu o osore habatakanu jinsei nante If you are too afraid to fly because you don't want to get hurt 剥製と変わらない

Hakusei to kawaranai That's like being a taxidermy 人は一生　夢と感動　喰らい生きてく

Hito wa isshō yume to kandō Kurai ikite iku People are meant to dream and be moved 痛いくらい撥ねろ　心臓 Itai kurai hanero shinzō Jump, my heart, like it hurts

*鳥肌が止まらないいのちが熱く燃えている Torihada ga tomaranai inochi ga atsuku moete iru My goosebumps wouldn't stop, my life is burning hot

限界の先　その先で戦う喜び Genkai no saki sono saki e tatakau yorokobi o Go beyond the limit, feel the joy of fighting ありったけを　解き放て

Arittake wo toki hanate Strike with full power

勝ち敗けすらも何処か遠く

Kachimake sura mo doko ka tōku Winning and losing seems to get blurred 時を止めた　この一瞬がスローモーションで煌めく Toki o tometa kono isshun ga Surō mōshon de kirameku

This moment that time stops It becomes slow motion さあ　さあ　さあ暴れな Sā Sā Sā abarena C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, Run wild

静まり返る烏合強豪の蠢くステージへ Shizumarikaeru ugō Kyōgō no ugomeku suteiji e A disorderly gathering that's quieting down To the powerful, wriggling stage

『好き』以上『得意』未満どんな夢もそこがスタート "suki" ijō " tokui" miman Donna yume mo soko ga sutāto More than [Like], and less than [Special] Whatever dream it is, that's where it starts 勝利の味は楽勝より

Shōri no aji wa rakushō yori The taste of victory, when it's at the end of a tough fight 悪戦苦闘の末が美味

Akusen kutō no sue ga bimi It's more delicious than an easy win ダイヤモンドみたく硬度上げた絆で

Daiyamondo mitaku kōdo ageta kizuna de With bonds harder than diamond 敵の鉄壁　砕いて Teki no teppeki kudaite Break through the enemy's iron wall

鳥肌が止まらないいのちが熱く燃えている

Torihada ga tomaranai Inochi ga atsuku moete iru The goosebumps won't stop. My life is burning hot 熱狂の果て　五感は枯れ　世界に熔けてく Nekkyō no hate gokan wa kare sekai ni toketeku At the end of my fever, my five senses die off and the world melts

神風を巻き起こせ

Kamikaze o makiokose Cause a divine wind 信じる者を風は推す

Shinjiru mono o kaze wa osu The wind will push those who believe 黄金（きん）に輝くあの星まで

Kin ni kagayaku ano hoshi made To that golden shining star 身を粉にしながら飛べ Mi o kona ni shi nagara tobe Fly while scattering your body into powder

熱中できる夢があるなら

Necchū dekiru yume ga arunara If you have a dream that you can get heated over 燃え尽きることを恐れないで

Moetsukiru koto o osorenaide Don't be afraid of burning up 上げろ　温度　胸の炎

Agero ondo mune no honō Raise it, your heat, the fire in your chest オレンジの向こう青く揺らめく青春へ Orenji no mukō Aoku yurameku seishun e Beyond the orange, to the blue shimmering youth

何度でも立ち上がれ

Nando demo tachiagare Stand up again and again 誇り高き不死鳥のように

Hokori takaki fushichō no yō ni

Like a proud phoenix

このオレンジの光の中で

Kono orenji no hikari no naka de

Inside that orange light

Back to *鳥肌が止まらない

いのちが熱く燃えている

限界の先　その先で戦う喜び

ありったけを　解き放て

勝ち敗けすらも何処か遠く

時を止めた　この一瞬が

スローモーションで煌めく

さあ　さあ　さあ

暴れな
