空がどんな高くても 羽根が千切れ散っても 翔び立つこと恐れずに 焦がせ不死なる絆 Fly to the sky…Fire bird！ 「潰えぬ夢へ　燃え上がれ！」

(Burning up) (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

暗闇での絶望もどうか怖がらないで 貴方の胸いつだって灯す夢があるから

決断への (運命に) 慟哭した (現実) だけどそれは (愛故の)

背負う未来－つばさ－だと…！ (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

飛べよ鵬翼－ほうよく－のヴァイオレット 火の鳥のように We are…何度も歌い 強くなった (夢は負けない) 貴方を連れて行きたいんだ 絶世の天へ

ゼロ距離で抱き締め合い 神話に記そう (この音の風で) そして新世界へ

(Burning up) (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

泣きじゃくったあの夜の答えはまだわからず だけど前に…前だけにきっとヒカリは射すと

重低音と (残光の) この聖なる (領域で) 不完全に (鉄槌を) 本能のままに

(Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

舞えよ暁に煌めく 太陽のように We are…闇から逃げず　支え燃える (紅蓮の炎) 幾千回拭ってもいいから その手を伸ばせば

羽根に変わるんだと 信じて自分を (信じて勇気を) そして明日へと

最初は上を見ることも 空を望むことも怖かった カゴの中からの銀河は高く その星の輝きに憧れては ただ眩しくて、ただ悔しくて だけど今は、きっと此処から… 「羽撃こう…頂点の夢へと」

飛べよ鵬翼－ほうよく－のヴァイオレット 火の鳥のように We are…再び誓う頂点への (不滅のアンビション) 貴方を連れて行きたいんだ 絶世の天へ

終焉の楽園まで 勇気と云う名の (音楽を地図に) 歌え新世界へ

(Burning up) (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

English=

No matter how vast the sky may be, No matter how shredded your wings may be, Throw your fear aside, and take flight, Set your immortal bonds ablaze Fly to the sky... Fire bird! "Blaze a path towards your unending dream!"

(Burning up) (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

Please don't be afraid Of the despair lying within the darkness Because there's a dream hidden in your chest That will light your way

Within your resolve towards fate, Lies the grieving truth But those are just the wings of affection Burdened upon your back...! (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

Let your violet wings take flight, Just like that of a phoenix We are... We'll sing any amount necessary A dream that has become strong Will never lose

We want to bring you there with us, Towards the unrivaled heavens Let's hold each other with no distance between, And write our story into myths Riding the wind of this music, And unto the new world

(Burning up) (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

That night I spent crying, I still don't understand the answer from then But ahead of us... Just ahead of us... Surely a light is shining

The rumbling bass and afterglow, Within this sacred place Hammer away at your imperfections Leaving only your instincts

(Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)

Dance on, just like the sparkling Of the sun at dawn We are... Without running from the darkness, A supporting crimson flame

It's alright to wipe it all away thousands of times So long as you reach out that hand It'll change into wings The self that you believe in The courage you believe in And we'll make our way unto tomorrow

At first, looking up was scary Wishing for the skies was frightful The Milky Way stretching above the cage; Longing for the brilliance of those stars was Simply dazzling, simply frustrating But right now, surely from here on... "Let's take flight. Towards that dream of the peak"

Let your violet wings take flight, Just like that of a phoenix We are... vowing once more, Our eternal ambition towards the peak

We want to bring you there with us, Towards the heavenly skies Until the paradise of the end, The music we refer to as courage, With it as your map, Sing your way unto the new world

(Burning up) (Lala, lalala, lala, lalala)
