Lyrics

Japanese

放て!心に刻んだ夢を  未来さえ置き去りにして
限界など知らない  意味ない!
この能力が光散らす  その先に遥かな想いを

歩いてきた  この道を  振り返ることしか
出来ないなら･･･今ここで全てを壊せる

暗闇に堕ちる街並み  人はどこまで立ち向かえるの？
加速するその痛みから  誰かをきっと守れるよ

Looking!
The blitz loop this planet to search way.
Only my RAILGUN can shoot it. 今すぐ
身体中を  光の速さで
駆け巡った  確かな予感

掴め!望むものなら残さず  輝ける自分らしさで
信じてるよ  あの日の誓いを
この瞳に光る涙  それさえも強さになるから

Romaji

hanate! kokoro ni kizanda yume wo mirai sae okizari ni shite
genkai nado shiranai imi nai!
kono chikara ga hikari chirasu sono saki ni haruka na omoi wo

aruite kita kono michi wo furikaeru koto shika
dekinai nara...ima koko de subete wo kowaseru

kurayami ni ochiru machinami hito wa doko made tachimukaeru no?
kasoku suru sono itami kara dareka wo kitto mamoreru yo

Looking!
The blitz loop this planet to search way.
Only my RAILGUN can shoot it. imasugu
karadajuu wo hikari no hayasa de
kakemegutta tashika na yokan

tsukame! nozomu mono nara nokosazu kagayakeru jibun rashisa de
shinjiteru yo ano hi no chikai wo
kono hitomi ni hikaru namida sore sae mo tsuyosa ni naru kara

English

Release it! These dreams inside my heart. Leave even the future behind
They have no limits and are meaningless!
This power that blazes with light. I lay my distant dreams before it

If I look back at this path I've walked
All I can do now is to destroy it all.

On this street falling into darkness,
How far can people resist it?
Surely, I can protect someone from that intensifying pain

Looking! The blitz loop this planet to search way
Only my Railgun can shoot it
Right now
Inside my body, a certain premonition
runs at the speed of light

Grab it! If its something you desire, leave nothing behind
Shining as yourself
I believe in the oath you made that day
Even the shining tears in my eyes become my strength
