01. New World
Lyrics: yukihiro / Music: yukihiro.hyde
Romaji by: cori

koko ni aru tashika na RIARITI-
furikaeru kinou nante kudaranai
togirenai sora wo dokomademo
kage sae mo utsuranai sekai e

kensou ni  magirete  todoita  kakusei no koe
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)

yami wo saite  afuredashita  hikari  tsukami  kakagero
I'm awakening in the new world

sono te wo nobashite kuretara
imasugu kimi wo tsurete ikeru
dare yori mo takaku ukande
te ni ireta mujuuryoku chitai e

kaihou no  byouyomi ni  kidzuita  kakusei no koe
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)

togisumashita  tsubasa hiroge  kaze wo  atsume  tobidate
abareru kodou  toki wo koete  hibike
I'm awakening in the new world

hizumu  zanzou  tokete  nagarete yuku
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)
egaku  kiseki wa  sora wo  tsuranuite yuku  owaranai joushou
(Fly away beyond the clouds. Will you still be in your dreams?)

yami wo saite  afuredashita  hikari  tsukami  kakagero
motomete ita  kono shunkan  tsunage

kimi ga kureta  koe wo daite  takaku  takaku  habataku
koboreru mirai  mabushii kurai  sosogu
I'm awakening in the new world
