Hacking to the Gate

Lyrics & Composition: Chiyomaru Shikura
Arrangement: Toshimichi Isoe

Welcome!! Time line travel on the game.
Welcome!! Heroes hacking to the gate.

Even the number of billions of heartbeats
is a trifling rank akin to the blink of an eye to you
Captured by the past while grieving the future
It's an inevitable I won't allow, not a spec of dust

The dreams spreading out "infinitely" and the future we imagine
are vain privileges permitted us
"The finite" - the two clocks hands will show that
Towards a choice with a cruel contract, hacking to the Gate...

That's why now in every second I want to cross the world line
and protect that smile of yours
And then I'll be swallowed into a loop
of time with no sorrow again, a lonely observer

Claims of life and meaningless proof
they're drollery not enough to kill boredom for you
A foolish race acting like rulers
set up conceited and childish theorems

The love we believed to be "endless" and the yonder of the sky
are virtual liberties shown to us
"The finite" - it mercilessly marks the passage of time
Towards a choice that even denies tomorrow, hacking to the Gate...

The many shining days and the promise with my friends
I mustn't make them into things that were not
For that, I won't hesitate any longer in the left behind device
that deludes time, a lonely observer

That's why now in every second I want to cross the world line
and protect that smile of yours
And then I'll be swallowed into a loop
of time with no sorrow again, a lonely observer

Suujuuoku mo no kodou no kazu sae
Anata niwa matataki teido no saji na toukyuu
Kako ni torawarete mirai wo nageku mo
Chiri hitotsu gosan wo yurusanu hitsuzen

"Mugen" ni hirogaru yume mo egaku mirai mo
Bokutachi ni yurusareta kyoei no kenri
"Yuugen" sore wa futatsu no hari ga shimesu
Zankoku na yakujou to sentaku e Hacking to the Gate───

Dakara ima ichibyou goto ni sekaisen wo koete
Kimi no sono egao mamoritai no sa
Soshite mata kanashimi no nai jikan no RUUPU e to
Nomikomarete yuku kodoku no kansokusha

Inochi no shuchou to muimi na shoumei
Anata niwa taikutsushinogi ni taranu kokkei
Shihaisha kidori no oroka na shuzoku wa
Unuboreta chisetsu na teiri wo narabeta

"Mugen" to shinjita ai mo sora no kanata mo
Bokutachi ni shimesareta kasou no jiyuu
"Yuugen" sore wa mujihi ni toki wo kizami
Asu sae mo hitei suru sentaku e Hacking to the Gate───

Ikutsu mo no kagayakeru hibi nakama to no yakusoku
Nakatta koto niwa shite wa ikenai
Sono tame ni toki wo azamuku nokosareta shikake ni
Mou mayoi wa nai kodoku no kansokusha

Dakara ima ichibyou goto ni sekaisen wo koete
Kimi no sono egao mamoritai no sa
Soshite mata kanashimi no nai jikan no RUUPU e to
Nomikomarete yuku kodoku no kansokusha
