TSUME TO KIBA

爪と牙

Tsume to Kiba
Claws and Fangs

KANJI 

時を駆けろ　ゆけ鬼神の如く
仇なす敵　薙ぎ倒せ
闇に吼えろ　ゆけ野獣の如く
爪と牙を研ぎ澄ませ

己の使命　胸に刻みて
握り拳に　宿る覚悟
血煙りの中　見せる生き様
過酷な運命に逆らえ

嗚呼　淡き影
映すは　この刃
嗚呼　憐れなり
世の無常　時の移ろい
悲しき時代を　斬り裂け

時を超えろ　ゆけ怒涛の如く
はだかる敵　討ち破れ
闇に燃やせ　ゆけ烈火の如く
欺瞞の空　焼き尽くせ

爪と牙を研ぎ澄ませ

嗚呼　幻か
瞼に　浮かぶ影
嗚呼　懐かしき
この匂い　過去に囚われ
呪縛の鎖を　断ちきれ

走れ走れ　力尽きるまで　
信じた道　突き進め
燃えろ燃えろ　命果てるまで
生きた証　焼きつけろ

爪と牙を研ぎ澄ませ

TRANSLATION 

Run through time like a demon-god.
Mow down all enemies who mean you harm.
Howl in the darkness like a wild beast.
Sharpen your claws and fangs.

I engraved my mission on my mind.
My resolution rests within these clenched fists.
My way of life shows in this spray of blood.
I'll fight against this harsh fate reserved for us.

Aah, see the faint shadow cast by my blade.
Aah, feel the misery of this world's mutability within the transition of time.
Now rip this sorrowful era to pieces.

Travel through time like the raging billows.
Smash down all enemies blocking your way.
Burn in the darkness like an inferno.
Set this deceitful sky ablaze.

Sharpen your claws and fangs.

Aah, is this shadow floating before my eyes only an illusion?
Aah, the nostalgia of this smell keeps me shackled to the past.
Now break the chains of this spell.

Run, run, until you've used up all your strength.
Push forward on the path you believe is right.
Burn, burn, until you've run out of life.
Leave your mark upon the world.

Sharpen your claws and fangs.
