Note: the English lyrics are not a translation of the Japanese 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
父は言われた
妖の手は
守りの手
母は言われた
人の手あるは
はぐくみのため
両の手合わせ
扉を開き
紅蓮の中に
なれをかえす
ながこらを
光となりて
守りたまえ
守りたまえ
Chichi wa iwareta
Ayakashi no te wa
Mamori no te
Haha wa iwareta
Hito no te aru wa
Hagukumi no tame
Ryou no te awase
Tobira wo hiraki
Guren no naka ni
Nare wo kaesu
Na ga kora wo
Hikari to narite
Mamori tamae
Mamori tamae
