運命浄化！

照らされる紅き影
それは混沌の闇に浮かぶ

刻まれた焔の紋章に集う永久の叫びが
お前にも聞こえてるのだろう？
嗚呼…魂を解き放て！！

出でよ灼熱の精霊よ！紅のその姿見せろ
焦がせ！熱風を帯びた　ココロ燃やし尽くせ
出てこい！灼熱の精霊よ！ツバサ火の粉まき散らしてゆく
広きあの空さえも全て焼き尽くして　運命浄化！

トロケソウナホドニアツクニエタギル
灰と化して　運命浄化！

Romaji

unmei jouka!

terasareru akaki kage
sore wa konton no yami ni ukabu

kizamareta honoo no monshou ni tsudou towa no sakebi ga
omae ni mo kikoeteru no darou?
aa... tamashii wo tokihanate!!

ideyo shakunetsu no seirei yo! kurenai no sono sugata misero
kogase! netsufuu wo obita kokoro moyashi tsukuse
detekoi! shakunetsu no seirei yo! tsubasa hinoko makichirashite yuku
hiroki ano sora sae mo subete yakitsukushite unmei jouka!

toroke sou na hodo ni atsuku nietagiru
hai to kashite unmei jouka!

English

Destiny purification! A scarlet figure shines out Floating through the chaotic darkness The eternal screams centre themselves around the crest burnt into the air Can you hear them too? Ah… the soul is becoming unbound!! Show yourself, scorching spirit! Manifest your crimson form Burn! Burn away this heart enveloped in scorching winds Come forth, scorching spirit! Sparks scatter from your wings Burn away everything in this deep sky - destiny purification! Boiling until you melt away Into nothing but ash - destiny purification!

English

Destiny purification! A scarlet figure shines out Floating through the chaotic darkness The eternal screams centre themselves around the crest burnt into the air Can you hear them too? Ah… the soul is becoming unbound!! Show yourself, scorching spirit! Manifest your crimson form Burn! Burn away this heart enveloped in scorching winds Come forth, scorching spirit! Sparks scatter from your wings Burn away everything in this deep sky - destiny purification! Testing your determination, Receive the baptism of the phoenix Countless hands beckon you toward the abyss from which there is no escape Is this the fate you will give in to? Ah… sacrifice yourself to the flames Show yourself, scorching spirit! Breathe the brightest fire Burn! The flames of life flicker fiercely Choose your path, scorching spirit! Let your grief fall away into ash Aim to ascend into the sky; never let your soul become dormant again Take control over everything to keep yourself alive Your heart begins to glow; find your reason for living again The eternal screams centre themselves around the crest burnt into the air Can you hear them too? Ah… the soul is becoming unbound!! Show yourself, scorching spirit! Manifest your crimson form Burn! Burn away this heart enveloped in scorching winds Come forth, scorching spirit! Sparks scatter from your wings Burn away everything in this deep sky - destiny purification! Let these flickering flames bless you Boiling until you melt away Into nothing but ash - destiny purification!
