Lyrics
見せかけの希望を説いて
夢をちらつかせはしない
惨状だけが 現状そのもの
時に 最善の策は
尊い 命切り捨てて
先へ進む 道を死守
戦場のセオリー
終わりなきCRISISの中
兵を導き続け
何を捨て去ったとしても
繋ぎ止めるHope Of Mankind
飽きるほど見つめてきた
人類の及ばなさを
それでもまだ 滅びてはいない
犠牲 払わぬ弱者に
どんな勝機があると言う?
向き合うべき 相手とは
100年の脅威
終わりなきCRISISの中
何度でも飛び込んで
核心の断片探す
それだけがHope Of Mankind
終わりなきCRISISの中
兵を導き続け
揺るがぬ信念貫く
尽きるその日まで
無惨に散った 餌食となった
有志にいつか 償えるなら
命ひとつじゃ 不足だろうが
地獄に落ちた その後でなら…
限りある今 下す決断が
明日を創ると 信じている
終わりなきCRISISの中
何度でも飛び込んで
核心の断片探す
それだけがHope Of Mankind
捨てたものは限りなく
得たものは僅かでも
挑む限りゼロじゃない
可能性はまだ

I dispelled the pretense hope
And will not offer flickering dream
The very present condition is nothing but agony
Sometimes the best plan is to cast away precious lives
Defending the way forward till the very last moment
is theory in battlefield
In the endless CRISIS
I continue to lead soldiers
No matter what I have abandoned,
I will hold onto hope of mankind
I have stared at human’s inferiority
to the point that I get tired of
Even so we are not yet defeated
The weak who don’t make sacrifice
What kind of chance to win they have?
The opponent we should confront
Is 100 years of menace
Over and over again
I plunge into the endless CRISIS
Searching for fragment of the heart (of the truth)
The only Hope of Mankind
In endless CRISIS
I continue to lead soldiers
Persisting in umtrembling faith
until the day that everything comes to an end
One live is not enough
to atone for those volunteers
who died tragic deaths and became preys?
If I went to hell, after that I would….(atone)
I believe that decisions I make at this very moment
will create tomorrow
Over and over again
I plunge into the endless CRISIS
Searching for fragment of the heart (of the truth)
The only Hope of Mankind
Things I have abandoned are countless
Even though the things we gained are very few
As long as we contend for
There is still possibility
