Looking up at the vast sky
That's dyed a scarlet red
I stand before the gates
Of time and flames
Breaking through their chains
Faces of people passing by in streets
The things in our lives that give us meaning
Eventually
Fade from our memories
Passion burns in your heart and gives you strength
Bodies trembles weakly with grief and pain
In the end
They'll all meet the same fate
So break through the mist and haze
That's melts from the sun's rays
As the dusk reappears
And dyes this world in red
Raise your blade and chase the wind
That blows against your hair
Pierce through the enemy
And boundaries
As you scorch the air
Shake off those fears and regrets
Fight back with all you have
I'll make this dream of mine
Now come to life
Once again
I'll grasp it with my own hands
Another torch fades always and bites the dust
Quietly in the unknown depths of dusk
Reality
Is cruel and unchanging
Yet somehow, I can feel the warmth of your heart
Beating as we hold each other in the dark
Yes, for sure
The truth lies in your soul
Burning bright in afterglows
The light of twilight's gleam
Scatters through out the scene
Dyes this world's every hue crimson
What is this doubt that's throbbing in my chest?
Why do I quake, plus hesitate?
It's not like me to fret or falter
I need to get a grip on myself now
Let it out
All your hot rage!
As the dawn rises again
And bathes the sky in red
All of my wildest dreams
Burning desires
Scorch the clouds to ash
Turn your all tears into strength
Run forward, don't look back
Release the fire you hide
Inside your eyes
Let it burn!
Soaring high over the land
Til' I fall to the ground
Offering all I have
Both great and sad
Making each breath count
Cut through the blinding darkness
With your blade and shine on
I will ignite a spark
And light the dawn
Up ahead
I'll grasp it with my own hands
