Lyric

KONO-HITO

ICONA

聞こえるか 光と闇の狭間

叫ぶ声は また夜に溶けてゆく

逃げるなよ 傷は誇りになる

影を抜け出し 未来を取り戻せ

まだ消えない 鼓動のざわめき

遠く響く 希望の足音

束縛 制約

掴め 栄光

断ち切れ 幻想

止まれ 妄想

抜け出せ 現状

壊せ 残像

試練も 上等

狙うは 頂上

濁る夜に 瞬く火花

闇を越えて 鼓動が鳴り響く

逃げるなよ 心の奥の声

迷う心も 情熱に変えてゆけ

自分を誇りに  夢だけ忘れず

沈む影から 光を取り戻せ

限界 宿命

砕け 日常

目覚めろ 本能

燃やせ 激情

抑える 衝動

ムズイ 相当

試練も 上等

狙うは 頂上

揺れる声は 夜を切り裂いて

震える夢が 不安を叩き壊す

立ち向かえ 恐れを超えてゆけ

溢れる衝動 身体を駆け巡り

弾ける鼓動 未来を撃ち抜く

革命 覚醒

掴め 栄光

断ち切れ 幻想

止まれ 妄想

目覚めろ 本能

燃やせ 激情

試練も 上等

狙うは  頂上
