Lyrics

Lyrics are from the full version of only my railgun.

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

立ち止まると　少しだけ感じる切なさに
戸惑う事　無いなんて嘘はつかないよ

宙に舞うコインが描く　放物線が決める運命
打ち出した答えが今日も　私の胸を駆け巡る

Sparkling!
The shiny lights awake true desire.
Only my RAILGUN can shoot it.必ず
貫いてく　途惑うことなく
傷ついても　走り続ける

狙え！凛と煌く視線は　狂い無く闇を切り裂く
迷いなんて　吹き飛ばせばいい
この心が叫ぶ限り　誰ひとり邪魔などさせない

儚く舞う　無数の願いは
この両手に　積もってゆく
切り裂く闇に　見えてくるのは
重く深く　切ない記憶

色褪せてく　現実に揺れる
絶望には　負けたくない
私が今　私であること
胸を張って　全て誇れる！

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

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

Hanate! kokoro ni kizanda yume wo mirai sae okizari ni shite

Look in the prism, discriminate, through such a way,
Only my RAILGUN can shoot it. ima sugu
