Lyrics

Sekai wa hiroi no kai? Soretomo... semai no kai?

Aa... furubita sono chizu wa hokori wo kabutta mama...

Mainichi wa tanoshii kai? Soretomo... taikutsu kai?
Aa... kijou no chikyuugi wa kara kara to yoku mawaru...

Ima... kimi no shiranai dokoka de ubugoe wa agatteiru
Deaenu mama de sugite yuku no wa nandaka samishii......

Bokutachi wa jiyuu sa doko e demo tabi shite yukeru
Tsunagaru chihei hirogaru sekai e → Izanau you ni kimi no te wo torou

Shinjitsu no jiyuu wa itsudatte [soko] ni aru
Hitomi wo tojite saa... yukou ze!

Inochi wa omoi no kai? Soretomo... karui no kai?
Aa... karappo no POKETTO ni wa nani wo tsumerubeki ka...

Mama... kimi ga neteru aida ni mo tatakai wa hajimatte yuku
Shiranai mama de kizukanu furi wa nandaka kanashii......

Kaze no you ni jiyuu sa doko made mo tazunete yukeru
Tsunagaru chihei atarashii sekai e → Habataku you ni uta wo kanadeyou

Ubaenai jiyuu wa itsudatte [koko] ni aru
Mimi wo sumashite saa... yukou ze!

Kimi ga miageteru sono hoshizora to
Boku ga miteru hoshizora ga chigatta toshite mo

Demo kimi ga ima kanjiteru sono sabishisa wa
Kitto boku no sabishisa to onaji iro shiteru

Aa... bokutachi wa meguri tsuzukeru darou saihate tsunagari tsuzukeru sekai wo
Saru shijin no kotoba kariru nara shiroi karasu no you ni――

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.

Link-lin-lin-lin-lin-

Link-lin-lin-lin-lin-
Link-lin-lin-li-linked-linked-
Link-lin-lin-lin-lin-
Link-lin-lin-li-

Link-lin-lin-li-linked-linked-linked-linked
L-i-n-k-e-d-

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...
