Lyrics - Original Japanese Version

Omaji shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo
[What else can I do, besides avenge you?]
Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumete ita

Afureru kanashimi ha kese nai kizuato ni
Wasure ha shinai to chikatta

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshsite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

[You told me to
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Fail not and be what we were now
Face as if we want to have forever]

Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta
[I had nothing to lose, nothing to lose]
Hakanai omoide yami ni ochi te iku

Saigo no hohoemi ga ukan de ha kieru
Nukumori dake wo nokoshi te

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no bokuha iyase nai
Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

Itsuka ha kono sora ni dare mo ga kaeru kara
Wakare no kotoba ha iranai

Break Out!!

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no bokuha iyase nai
Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

Redemption!
Redemption!

Lyrics - English Translation

Your form which returns gently to heaven
[What else can I do, besides avenge you?]
I watched it for the longest time, until my tears dried up.

And the sorrow overflowing from the scar which can't be erased,
I swore that I would never forget it.

I'll flap my broken wings
Erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell
Ringing the dirge completes.

[You told me to
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Fail not and be what we were now
Face as if we want to have forever]

Red tears traced by a trembling finger,
[I had nothing to lose, nothing to lose]
It crashes through the dark memories.

The last smile wavered, and disappears,
And the warmth is all that's left.

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

Because everyone returns to heaven, some day,
You'll never need to say goodbye.

Break Out!!

I'll flap my broken wings
Erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell
Ringing the dirge completes.

Your kind and gentle words
Can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated
To the never ending fight.

Redemption!
Redemption!
