Lyrics

堅く 鋭く 妖しく 眩く 光放つ
冷たく 輝く 白い刃

kataku surudoku ayashiku kuraku hikari hanatsu
tsumetaku kagayaku shiroi yaiba

誰が 誰もが 掴めば その手を血に染めて
悲しく 空しく 己を消した

dare ga dare mo ga tsukameba sono te wo chi ni somete
kanashiku munashiku onore wo keshita

それは 不器用で 一途な想いが成れの果て
それは 不器用な たった一つの誓い

sore wa bukiyou de ichizu na omoi ga narenohate
sore wa bukiyou na tatta hitotsu no chikai

たとえ この身が 誰かの刃になろうと
たとえ この身が 命を奪えど
たとえ この身が 全てのモノを切り裂けど
この身 全てが 一振りの鋼

tatoe kono mi ga dareka no yaiba ni narou to
tatoe kono mi ga inochi wo ubaedo
tatoe kono mi ga subete no mono wo kirisakedo
kono mi subete ga hitofuri no hagane

強い 有り様 求めて 誰もが手を伸ばし
流れた 過ち 塗り潰して
弱い 自分を 分からず 振り回し切り捨て
断たれる 命は 死に切れないで

tsuyoi arisama motomete dare mo ga te wo nobashi
nagareta ayamachi nuritsubushite
yowai jibun wo wakarazu furimawashi kirisute
tatareru inochi wa shi ni kirenaide

いずれ 辿り着く 迷いが果てに連なる道
いずれ 巡り合う 迷いを断つ介錯

izure tadoritsuku mayoi ga hate ni tsuranaru michi
izure meguriau mayoi wo tatsu kaishaku

せめて この手が 誰かの最期となるなら
せめて この手が 願いを掴めば
せめて この手が 砕けぬ刃になれれば
この手 一念 迷い解き放て

semete kono te ga dareka no saigo to naru nara
semete kono te ga negai wo tsukameba
semete kono te ga kudakenu yaiba ni narereba
kono te ichinen mayoi tokihanate

夢は 願いは 全てを鋼に刻んだ
深く 欠けない 曇り無き刃
いつか この身が 誰かを守る力なら
この身 一念 一振りの刃

yume wa negai wa subete wo hagane ni kizanda
fukaku kakenai kumorinaki yaiba
itsuka kono mi ga dareka wo mamoru chikara nara
kono mi ichinen hitofuri no yaiba

誰が 願いか
誰が 望みか
誰が 終わりか
誰が 生き様

dare ga negai ka
dare ga nozomi ka
dare ga owari ka
dare ga ikizama

Translation

Hard, sharp, bewitching, brilliant, a light is cast
Cold, gleaming, a white blade

Whoever reaches for it, their hands are stained red
Sorrowful, futile, they erase themselves

It is the conclusion of an awkward, single-minded devotion
It is a single awkward oath

Even if this body becomes someone’s weapon
Even if this body takes a life
Even if this body cuts through all things
This whole body will be one stroke of steel

Everyone reaches out in search of a strong state
Painting over the mistakes they’ve made
Not grasping their weakness, they abuse and sacrifice them
Cut-off lives cannot completely die

One day, I will reach the end of a road filled with hesitation
One day, I will meet the one who will sever my hesitation

If these hands must become someone’s final moment
If these hands can grasp a wish
If these hands could become an unbreakable blade
These resolved hands will release all hesitation

Dreams, wishes, all carved into the steel
Deep, unchipped, a blade without a trace of clouding
If someday this body has the power to protect someone
This resolved body will be one single blade

Whose desire?
Whose wish?
Whose end?
Whose way of life?
