Kanji Lyrics
月影をどこまでも　虚海(うみ)はひろがる 銀色のやさしさに　今は眠ろう 記憶の中で　探しつづけた 人のぬくもり　孤独の雨に

この体　朽ちても　きっと走りとおす あの世界の果ての　虹にとどくまでは

時の砂かぞえてた　何も知らずに 偽りの夢の中　言葉うしなう

揺れる眼差し　炎のなかで 誓う心は　いついつまでも

この祈りとどけよ　深い轍こえて この世界の果ての　誓い守りとおす

この体　朽ちても　きっと走りとおす あの世界の果ての　虹にとどくまでは

この祈りとどけよ　深い轍こえて この世界の果ての　誓い守りとおす

Romaji Lyrics
Tsukikage wo doko made mo, umi wa hirogaru Giniro no yasashisa ni, ima wa nemurou

Kioku no naka de, sagashi tsuzuketa Hito no nukumori, kodoku no ame ni

Kono karada kuchitemo, kitto hashiri toosu Ano sekai no hate no, niji ni todoku made wa

Toki no suna kazoeteta, nani mo shirazu ni Itsuwari no yume no naka, kotoba ushinau

Yureru manazashi, honou no naka de Chikau kokoro ha, itsu itsu made mo

Kono inori todoke yo, fukai wadachi koete Kono sekai no hate no, chikai mamori toosu

Kono karada kuchitemo, kitto hashiri toosu Ano sekai no hate no, niji ni todoku made wa

Kono inori todoke yo, fukai wadachi koete Kono sekai no hate no, chikai mamori toosu

English Translation
How far does the moonlight reach? And how far the sea? Sleep now, silver tenderness...

In the center of memory, I have kept searching For a person's warmth, in the lonely rain

Though this body rots away, do not doubt I will keep running To the end of that world, until I reach the rainbow

The sands of time are being counted, and what more do I know? In the middle of a false dream, the words were lost

A shaky look, at the center of flame Till when, how long, lasts the vow of the heart?

May this prayer be heard, as it rises above the deep wheel track At the end of this world, I will still protect my vow

Though this body rots away, do not doubt I will keep running To the end of that world, Until I reach the rainbow

May this prayer be heard, as it rises above the deep wheel track At the end of this world, I will still protect my vow
