Burning Devotion!
Japanese lyrics

Mamo ite yaru hito wa iru no ka

Shinjite iru mono wa aru no ka

Sonna kotode utsukumaru no ka

Yuuhi ga ima ore wo warata


Mitami yori wakare yori tsurai koto wa

Jibun ni makeru koto

Muchauo shiro amaeru na

Kyo no ore wo koeteku kanarasu


Tamerai wo yakisukuze hakeshiku

Misekage wo buchi kowase

Nigeru na

Buki you na tamashii

honou fukisukero

Nani mo osorei wa shinai


[instrumental]


Ega ite iru mirai mieru ka

Omoi wo mama ikiteru no ka

Mokaiteru sakiunderu busukaru tabi ni

Chikaru wo tameshiteru

Ikai nara wachini yare

Kokoro sarashi mayowasu kizusuke


Moerou! Kurei!


Bomadoii wo tsuki ni mugete hageshiku

Yokubou wo uchikuu dake

Nigeru na

Yami komori hitasurani kikkari tori wo modose

Koko no yusure wa shinai Come on!


Tamerai wo yakisukuze hakeshiku

Misekage wo buchikowase

Nigeru na

Buki you na tamashii

honou fukisukero

Akaku moyashisuku ze!


Moetaro?

English translation

Are there people that I need to protect?

Is there something that I need to believe in?

Could those things bring me down?

The setting sun laughed at me now


Rather than looking and saying farewell to my hardships

and all the things I've lost

I won't stupidly depend on them

I swear to surpass the me of today


I'm beginning to burn away my hesitations

I'll destroy my incomplete shadow

I won't run away

My spirit's a weapon

My flame rages

I'm not afraid of anything


[instrumental]


Can a drawing show me my future?

Can I live with just my thoughts?

Once more I scream out and bust out on a journey

Where I will test my strength

If I can do it once, then I'll do it

Bleach my heart to rub out my doubts


Burn! Eat this!


I'll thrash my way through all obstacles

I'll crush despair

I won't run away

If I'm taken by dark intentions, I'll just bring myself back

This is where I won't be shaken Come on!


I'm beginning to burn away my hesitations

I'll destroy my incomplete shadow

I won't run away

My spirit's a weapon

My flame rages

Burn everything red!


You burned?
