1.What is freedom?
2.Whose life does it belong to?
3.Without overthinking…
4.You just fly straight ahead…
5.And I was a little… envious of that…6.
7.What kind of cause, for example,
8.Would justify a person killing another?
9.If you condemn the enemy as a demon to be slain,
10.Does that really keep your heart from aching?11.
12.It wasn’t supposed to be like this… it was inevitable…
13.But even if I make excuses, you’ll never forgive me, will you?
14.Ah… let evil be destroyed… say it’s deserved…
15.I won’t argue otherwise, but I had no other choice…16.
17.If there’s a future where we seize freedom…
18.What will I choose? Right now, I still don’t know.
19.In this absurd world where I can’t choose on my own…
20.I’ve fought all the same… with the cards I’ve been dealt.21.
22.My father’s… no… *my* life,
23.I won’t let anyone say it was a mistake!
24.Because my true wager begins here…25.
26.The shadow of an ideal appears as an allegory,
27.Flickering on the wall woven by giants.
28.The blind people speak distantly
29.Of a homeland far across the sea.30.
31.As I fly, stained crimson with guilt, not knowing a thing,
32.Countless shadows fall to the earth, calling forth twilight…33.
34.The weak, the deceitful—water flows to the low places,
35.Time repeats without stopping, a ≪ronde≫ of regret.
36.Unable to truly become a (soldier), failing to truly become a (warrior),
37.I ran beyond the walls, but where do I belong?38.
39.Even if I dream of freedom… reality clings to me…
40.Piling up corpses, but I still can’t reach the sky…
41.At the tips of my outstretched fingers… the pain of a flashing blade…
42.Unable to grasp a single thing, I fall into the abyss…43.
44.My father’s… no… my life,
45.Was it all a mistake? No one can tell…46.
47.In the cold… inside a (coffin)… the dreams I saw…
48.Someday… will there come a time… when I can tell you about them?
