Japanese Lyrics
Chichi wa iwareta

arakashi no te wa

mamori no te

Haha wa iwareta

hito no te aru wa

hagukumi no tame

Ryou no te awase

tobira wa hikari

guren no naka ni

nare wo kaesu

Na ga kora wo

hikari to narite

mamori kamae

mamori kamae

English Lyrics
Father once said to me

Many moons ago

A demon hand will defend

Mother said one day

There is more that you must know

A mortal hand will sustain

Two hands together Incomplete alone

Balance and union

And the gate will open

Go my children go

Go to crimson flames

To save our children

The lights of memory remain
