Lyrics
Romaji= Kagami ni usutta shikkoku no hane wo Shizuka ni hiroge yoake o matsu

Hieta te no hira de tashikameta kodou wo Dare mo ga minna okubyou de

Hontou no sugata wa kakushita mama Ketsui no sora e ochiru you ni habataiteku

Namida de nurashita kuro mo kizutsuite somatta aka mo Jibun dake no iro ni naru uta ni naru Nando mo tameseba iisa sono tabi ni tsuyoku mo nareru Kimi dake no sora ga aru soko ni aru

Tooku wo habataku dareka wo yumemiru yori Akogare wo sono te ni

Kagami ni usutta shinku no honou wa Yureteru dakedo kiewashinai Hontou no sugata ni kawattanara Kochira e douzo oki ni masu made oboremashou

Futatsu no sekai wo kirei ni narabete gin no MERODII sosoidara Nomihosu you ni konya mo aishiaou Dare ni mo jyamadekinai kara

Namida de nurashita kuro mo kizutsuite somatta aka mo Jibun dake no iro ni naru uta ni naru Nando mo tameseba iisa sono tabi ni tsuyoku mo nareru Kimi dake no sora ga aru soko ni aru

Tooku wo habataku dareka wo yumemiru yori Akogare wo sono te ni

By gaocchi~ Kanji = 鏡に映った　漆黒の羽を 静かに　広げ　夜明けを待つ

冷えた手のひらで　確かめた　鼓動を 誰もがみんな　臆病で

本当の姿は　隠したまま 決意の空へ　墜ちるように　羽ばいてく

涙で濡らした黒も　傷ついて染まった赤も 自分だけの　色になる　歌になる 何度も試せばいいさ　その度に強くもなれる 君だけの　空がある　そこにある

遠くを羽ばたく　誰かを　夢見るより 憧れを　その手に

鏡に映った　真紅の炎は 揺れてる　だけど　消えはしない 本当の姿に　化わったなら こちらへどうぞ　お気に召すまで　溺れましょう

二つの世界を　綺麗に並べて　銀のメロディ　注いだら 飲み干すように　今夜も愛し合おう 誰にも邪魔できないから

涙で濡らした黒も　傷ついて染まった赤も 自分だけの　色になる　歌になる 何度も試せばいいさ　その度に強くもなれる 君だけの　空がある　そこにある

遠くを羽ばたく　誰かを　夢見るより 憧れを　その手に English = The jet-black wings reflected on the mirror silently spread as they wait for sunrise

With this cold hand, after checking my heartbeat, Everyone is a coward

That hides their real self I'm heading towards the sky, it's time to take off and spread my wings

The black soaked in tears and the red stained with wounds I will turn them into my own colors, my own songs It doesn’t matter if I need to try many times, because it makes me stronger every time Over there, there's a sky that's only yours

As I spread my wings far away, more than just dreaming like everyone else What I’m yearning for is that hand

The deep crimson flame hidden in the mirror wavers, yet doesn’t extinguish If you have changed into your real self Then come this way, so we lose ourselves until you’re satisfied

If the two worlds align, a beautiful silver melody will start flowing Let’s love each other tonight as if we were drinking Because no one can get in our way

The black soaked in tears and the red stained with wounds I will turn them into my own colors, my own songs It doesn't matter how many times I try, because it keeps making me stronger Over there, there's a sky that's only yours

As I spread my wings far away, more than just dreaming like everyone else What I’m yearning for is that hand
