Lyrics[]
The official lyrics were released on the official blog.[4][5]
- English
- Tonight our city bleeds red, blue, and green
- As I walk in the dark unseen
- Yet like the grey the sky is draped in
- The colors in my heart have faded
- Gone
- They're gone
- They're gone
- All gone
- A girl looks to the stars and dares to dream
- On the world she'd make her mark, it seemed
- This phantom in my mirror starin' back
- I realize that girl is
- Gone
- She's gone
- She's gone
- I'm gone
- Climbed every mountain, made it to the top
- I had it all, or so I thought
- Traded tomorrow for a lie
- And found the price too high
- The clock is ticking counting down to naught
- I'm outta time but it won't stop
- I'll bet my life before it's lost
- That final line I'll cross
- There ain't no going back
- No going back
- No going back
- No
- What light's left here inside
- I'll suffocate
- If that's what it takes, oh
- And those who look to cast me aside
- or turn their backs and leave me to die
- You can try, can try, come try,
- But I will survive
- No going back
- No going back
- Won't ever
- (no) Never again, no
- Ain't no going back
- No going back
- No coming back from the edge
- Look in my eyes, yeah I know you understand
- (somebody help, my misery's taking me)
- I've made up my mind, now there ain't no going back
- (somebody help, I'm losing what's left of me)
- I've made up my mind, now my heart's demanding
- I'm ready to fight til there's one left standing
- Tonight, lightning'll strike, thunder will fall
- (and) You're gonna give it all
- To me
- To me
- To me
- To me, I gotta believe
- You'll set
- Me free
- Tonight my circle finally comes complete
- One last step from the dark, I breathe
- The music's swellin', crowd is chantin'
- And for this moment fear's an after-
- thought
- It's gone
- It's gone
- All gone
- I look out to the crowd and there I see
- A thousand little girls--all me
- I've turned the tables, yeah I'm fightin' back
- I'll bring the lightnin', now it's
- On
- It's on
- It's on
- You're gone
- Climbed every mountain, made it to the top
- I had it all, or so I thought
- Traded tomorrow for a lie
- And found the price too high
- The clock is ticking counting down to naught
- I'm outta time but it won't stop
- I'll bet my life before it's lost
- That final line I'll cross
- There ain't no going back
- No going back
- No going back
- No
- What light's left here inside
- I'll suffocate
- If that's what it takes, oh
- And those who look to cast me aside
- or turn their backs and leave me to die
- You can try, can try, come try,
- But I will survive
- No going back
- No going back
- Won't ever
- (no) Never again, no
- Ain't no going back
- No going back
- No coming back from the edge, no more
- Japanese translation
- 今夜も街が赤、青、緑に染まる
- なのに私は人知れず暗闇を歩く
- 灰色に覆われた空のように
- 心の色は薄れてゆき
- 消えた
- 消えたの
- 色はもう
- すべて消えたの
- ある少女が星を眺めて夢を見る
- 世界に名を刻んでやるって、そう、きっとね
- 今、鏡を覗くと亡霊が睨み返してきて
- 私は気づくの、あの少女はもう
- いない
- 少女はもう
- いないの
- あの私はもういないの
- あらゆる山に登って、頂点に立った
- 私は何もかも得たと、いい気になっていた
- でも明日を虚栄と交換しただけ
- それは、あまりに大きな代償だったと知ったの
- 時計が終わりに向けてカウントを刻んでる
- もう私には時間がないのに、止められない
- 失うくらいなら命がけでやってやる
- 最後の一線だって越えてみせるんだ
- もう後戻りはできない
- 後には
- 戻れないの
- 決して
- 心に残った僅かな光だって
- かき消してやる
- 必要とあらばね
- そして、みんなが私を追い払おうとも
- 背を向け見殺しにしようとも
- 構わない、やりなさい、やってみやがれ
- それでも、私は生き残ってみせる
- もう後戻りはできない
- 後には戻れないの
- 絶対に
- そう、二度とね
- もう後戻りはできない
- そう、戻れないの
- この崖っぷちからはね
- 私の目を見て、もうわかったでしょう？
- （誰か助けて、苦しみに飲み込まれる）
- 決めたの、もう戻らないって
- （誰か助けて、自分を失ってしまう）
- もう決めた、心に決めたんだ
- 最後のひとりになるまで闘うってね
- 今夜、雷光を放ち、雷鳴を轟かせて
- お前のすべてを奪い取ってやる
- 私のために
- 奪い取る
- 私のためにね
- そう、信じなきゃ
- これで私が
- 解放されるって
- 今夜、やっと私の物語が完成する
- 暗闇から最後の一歩を踏み出して、息を整える
- 音楽が盛り上がって、観客が歓声を上げる
- そして、この瞬間に恐怖はどこかへ
- 消え去った
- 恐怖はもう
- どこかへと
- すべて消え去った
- ふと観客を見渡すと、見えてきたのは
- 1000人もの少女たち――みんな私だ
- 形勢は逆転した、そう、反撃のときだ
- この雷を以て、今こそ私の闘いが
- 始まる
- 私の闘いが
- 今から始まるんだ
- お前はもうお終いだ
- あらゆる山に登って 、頂点に立った
- 私は何もかも得たと、いい気になっていた
- でも明日を虚栄と交換しただけ
- それは、あまりに大きな代償だったと知ったの
- 時計が終わりに向けてカウントを刻んでる
- もう私には時間がないのに、止められない
- 失うくらいなら命がけでやってやる
- 最後の一線だって越えてみせるんだ
- もう後戻りはできない
- 後には
- 戻れないの
- 決して
- 心に残った僅かな光だって
- かき消してやる
- 必要とあらばね
- そして、みんなが私を追い払おうとも
- 背を向け見殺しにしようとも
- 構わない、やりなさい、やってみやがれ
- それでも、私は生き残ってみせる
- もう後戻りはできない
- 後には戻れないの
- 絶対に
- そう、二度とね
- もう後戻りはできない
- そう、戻れないの
- この崖っぷちからは、もう
