Lyrics

世界は広いのかい？　それとも･･･　狭いのかい？

嗚呼･･･　古びたその地図は埃を被ったまま･･･

毎日は楽しいかい？　それとも･･･　退屈かい？
嗚呼･･･　机上の地球儀はカラカラとよく廻る･･･

今･･･　君の知らない何処かで　産声は上がっている
出逢えぬままで　過ぎて逝くのは　何だか寂しい･･････

僕達は自由さ　何処へでも旅して往ける
繋がる地平　広がる世界へ　→　誘うように　君の手を取ろう

真実の自由は　何時だって《君の心の中》にある
瞳を閉じて　さあ･･･　征こうぜ！

生命は重いのかい？　それとも･･･　軽いのかい？
嗚呼･･･　空っぽのポケットに何を詰めるべきか･･･

儘･･･　君が寝てる間にも　戦争は始まってゆく
識らないままで　気付かぬ振りは　何だか哀しい･･････

風の様に自由さ　何処までも訪ねて往ける
繋がる地平　新しい世界へ　→　羽ばたくように　詩を奏でよう

奪えない自由は　何時だって《僕達の心の中》にある
耳を澄まして　さあ･･･　征こうぜ！

君が見上げてる　その星空と
僕が見てる星空が　違ったとしても

でも君が今感じてる　その寂しさは
きっと僕の寂しさと　同じ色をしてる

嗚呼･･･　僕達は廻り続けるだろう　最果てへ繋がり続ける世界を
然る詩人の言葉借りるなら　白い鴉のように――

幻想の自由さ　何処にでも還って来れる
繋がる地平　素敵な世界で　→　見つけた宝物を　君に届けよう
行き先は自由さ　何度でもまた何処へでも
繋がる地平　未だ見ぬ世界で　→　明日は君が　詩を紡ぐだろう

世界は広いのかい？　それとも･･･　狭いのかい？

嗚呼･･･　古びたその地図は･･････

Ah....Linked Horizon....

Ah....Linked Horizon....

Does the world feel huge? Or...does it feel cramped?
Ah...that old map lies covered in dust...
Is every day enjoyable? Or...is it boring?

Ah...that globe standing atop the table rattles and spins quite often...
Right now...someone is giving their first cries in a place unknown to you...
To just let it pass without ever meeting seems a little lonely...

Linked Horizon

We are free and can journey towards anywhere
To invite you towards a linked horizon -> an expanding world, I shall take your hand
The freedom of truth always lies <in your heart>[there]
Close your eyes, come on...let’s go!

Ah...Linked Horizon...
Ah...Linked Horizon...

Is life precious? Or...is it of no importance?
Ah...what should we put in our empty pockets...
As always...even while you are sleeping, wars are brewing on the horizon
To just be ignorant without ever becoming wiser seems a little sad...

Linked Horizon

We are free like the wind and can visit anywhere
To take flight towards a linked horizon -> a new world, I shall play a song
The freedom that cannot be denied from us always lies <in our hearts>[here]
Strain your ears, come on...let’s go!

Even if the starry sky you look upon
Is different from the one I see
That loneliness you feel right now
Must be in the same color as mine

Ah...we will continue to go around a world that links to the farthest corners
And if I were to borrow the words of a certain poet, “like a white crow”-

Linked Horizon

For instance, it is the past. For instance, it is the future.
The infinite possibilities. The invisible chains which we shall link.

It is the freedom of fantasies, they will come back to us no matter where
I shall give to you the treasure I found on a linked horizon -> a wonderful world

We are free to choose our destinations, no matter how many times or where to
In a linked horizon -> a yet unknown world, you will be the one to weave a song come tomorrow

Ah...Linked Horizon...
Ah...Linked Horizon...
Ah...Linked Horizon...
Ah...Linked Horizon...

Does the world feel huge? Or...does it feel cramped?
Ah...that old map...
