On the road 誰も旅の途中
本当の自分自身出逢うため
歩き続けるのさ今を we're all travelers
僕の目の前に広がる
９つの道はいつか重なって
新しい夜明けへと続く道に変わるのだろう

Mokugeki-seyo JOURNEY THROUGH THE DECADE
Looking up upon the stars, where various sagas are shining Just like the constellations, only by connecting them with lines, does a Legend begin
Go through the dimensions flickering like auroras And dive into that straying Parallel world
On the road, everyone is in the midst of a journey In order to encounter their true selves
Let’s keep on walking for now, for We’re all travelers
Everything’s spreading out right in front of my eyes
Just when will the 9 paths ever overlap The road will probably change to continue into a new dawn Bear witness to it, Journey through the Decade
No matter how hard we gaze into the scenery taken from beyond the lens The truth is the thing that is projected into the eye of our hearts
Somewhere, the curtains to a battle have opened And I become a Halation who has taken away reality
On the road, my reason for leaving on a journey In order to change the future of the destruction of the world
Embrace your dreams stronger and longer, for We’re all dreamers
And for certain, my fate will be
To stand back up 10 times, and when that time comes A new wind will probably blow through, opening up a new path Bear witness to it, Journey through the Decade
For myself, at every interval of every moment
I remain determined, and that will be everything
As for the future, whether is it an ideal, or a despair
I will change it, and therefore surely
I will run down the path I believed in
On the road, everyone is in the midst of a journey
In order to encounter their true selves
Let’s keep on walking for now, for We’re all travelers
Everything’s spreading out right in front of my eyes
Just when will the 9 paths ever overlap
The road will probably change to continue into a new dawn
Bear witness to it, Journey through the Decade
