Lyrics: TAKUYA∞
Music: TAKUYA∞ & Nobuto
Arrangement: UVERworld & Satoru Hiraide

Just going
Don't lose, my comrades
Our flowing fighting spirit
My male friends noticing that it's the truth
If you quit, then I'll feel like I'm half dead

We are more reckless than unreasonable
We are risking the severe for ourselves
We are travelers on an endless path
Fighting together is who we are

We can say things like "Where shall we meet again in the next world?" to each other
Being able to meet some friends who can forgive my disposition was my life salvation
We talked until dawn on our random journey
I don't have to be a cool guy, but I want to live a cool way of life

Now our hearts are burning so much I'm sure we're losing our sanity
And our seriousness that lacks any doubt is overflowing
This town doesn't have the instruments that accept these overflowing emotions
They can't be ended by excuses or complaints like that

We'll keep chanting that we can still go

If I stand up today, it may be too late
And even if it's time over without it coming true
If I ascend to heaven, I'll descend immediately
And show you my fighting attitude

Just going
Don't lose, my comrades
Our flowing fighting spirit
My male friends noticing that it's the truth
If you quit, then I'll feel like I'm half dead

We are more reckless than unreasonable
We are risking the severe for ourselves
We are travelers on an endless path
Fighting together is who we are

I got to hang out with you, and was able to change a little
I can't value friends who can't trust their friends
It seems like there's a loneliness beyond dying in something like that
Admiring your figure of someday, rescued by many of your words
Called a dunce in school, I was able to think that I'd try my strength

Simply because I can't see anything in the darkness, I believe that hope lurks there
The dead of night, the deepest darkness comes before the dawn. Isn't that right?

But I still keep chanting, "I'll be damned if I give up"

If I stand up today, it may be too late
And even if it's time over without it coming true
If I ascend to heaven, I'll descend immediately
And show you my fighting attitude

Yeah, living through this era with my friends
If I calm down a bit in the next world
In the next world, let's meet
In front of Central Park Dakota House

Yeah, living through this era with my friends
If I calm down a bit in the next world
Let's start a journey in the next world
From Central Park Dakota House

But I keep chanting that it still can't be over right here

If I stand up today, it may be too late
And even if it's time over without it coming true
If I ascend to heaven, I'll descend immediately
And show you my fighting attitude

Just going
Don't lose, my comrades
Our flowing fighting spirit
My male friends noticing that it's the truth
If you quit, then I'll feel like I'm half dead

We are more reckless than unreasonable
We are risking the severe for ourselves
We are travelers on an endless path
Fighting together is who we are

Who we are
