Lyrics
Jetzt hier ist ein Sieg
Dies ist der erste Gloria
O mein freund!
Feiern wir diesen Sieg fur den nachsten Kampf!
(Die flugel der freiheit)
「無意味な死であった」
と･･･言わせない
最後の《一矢》になるまで･･････
Der feind ist grausam... Wir bringen...
Der feind ist riesig... Wir springen...
両手には《銅刃》 唄うのは《凱歌》 背中には《自由の(翼)》
(Der feind ist grausam...)
握り締めた決意を左胸に 斬り裂くのは《愚行の螺旋》
(Der feind ist riesig...)
蒼穹を舞う――
自由の翼
(鳥)は飛ぶ為に其の殻を破ってきた 無様に地を這う為じゃないだろ?
お前の(翼)は何の為にある 籠の中の空は狭過ぎるだろう？
Die Freiheit und der Tod. Die beiden sind Zwilinge
Die Freiheit oder der Tod?
Unser Freund ist ein!
何の為に生まれてきたのかなんて･･･ 小難しい事は解らないけど･･･
例え其れが過ちだったとしても･･･ 何の為に生きているかは判る･･･
其れは･･･ 理屈じゃない･･･ 存在･･･ 故の『自由』！
(Die flugel der freiheit...)
隠された真実は 衝撃の嚆矢だ
鎖された其の《深層》と 《表層》に潜む《巨人達》
崩れ然る固定観念 迷いを抱きながら 其れでも尚 『自由』へ進め!!!
...Rechter Weg? Linker Weg?
Na, ein Weg welcher ist?
Der Feind? Der Freund?
Mensch, Sie welche sind?
両手には《戦意》 唄うのは《希望》 背中には《自由の地平線》
(Der Feind ist grausam...)
世界を繋ぐ鎖を各々胸に 奏でるのは《可能性の背面》
(Der Feind ist riesig...)
蒼穹を舞え――
自由の翼

(Jetzt hier ist ein Sieg
Dies ist der erste Gloria
O mein freund!
Feiern wir diesen Sieg
fur den nachsten...
Der feind ist grausam... Wir bringen...
This here now is a victory
This is the first Gloria
Oh my friend!
Let us celebrate this victory for the next fight!
“It was a pointless death.”
I won’t let you say that...
Till we’re down to the last <arrow>[person]...
The enemy is cruel... we are bringing-...
The enemy is huge... we are jumping...
Carrying <steel blades> in our hands, we sing <a song of victory>, bearing <the wings of freedom> upon our backs
Clenching our resolve to our hearts, we tear through the <spiral of foolishness>, dancing through azure-
With our Wings of Freedom
The bird broke through its shell to soar through the skies, not to crawl on the ground without dignity, right?
And what are your wings for? Isn’t the sky within your cage too narrow for you?
Freedom and death, those two are twins
Freedom or death?
Our friend is one.
As for why we were even born...I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to these complicated things...
But even if that were a mistake...I know what we’re living for...
It’s nothing logical...we exist...therefore we are “free”!
The Wings of Freedom
The hidden truth paves way to the beginning of our shock
<Titans> that dwell in the locked <depths>[in darkness] on the <surface>[in light]
Our previous assumptions crumbled away, and though we bear uncertainty in our hearts, march on towards “freedom” regardless!!!
The left way? The right way?
Well, which way is it?
Friend? Or foe?
What are humans?
Holding <the will to fight> in our hands, we sing of <hope>, bearing <the horizon of freedom> upon our backs
Harboring in our hearts the chains that connect the world, we play a song of <what lies behind possibility>, dance through azure-
With our Wings of Freedom
Oh my friend!
This here now is a victory
This is the first Gloria
Oh my friend!
Let us celebrate this victory for the next fight!
The enemy is cruel... we are bringing-
The Wings of Freedom!
