English lyrics

In a borderline battle, even if we strike and get hurt, isn’t it okay?

The gong of a hot duel filled with time echoes The card of destiny shines

The beating in your chest with its curtains fallen excites intensely Chosen ones, c’mon, stand up

New days, to our future Find our way, release our dreams “The sink-or-swim counter”

So in a borderline battle, even if we strike and get hurt, isn’t it okay? Until the time limit, we won’t give up; that’s right, we don’t know fear In a borderline battle, if you knock out and burn out, isn’t it the best? The entire world, this era will, c’mon, Ride on with you!

I won’t give up, even if a trap wall stands in the way And destiny gets swayed

I won’t lose, I’ll stake everything on this field The pride of the chosen ones shouts out

New force, a new power Find oneself, every time I have it in my body “This piercing good sensation”

Even if we hit each other in more borderline battles and get hurt, isn’t it okay? Even if ZERO draws closer, we should be at our full might, that’s right, and go with our intentions In a borderline battle, if we compete with each other and burn out, isn’t it what we desire? The next enemy, who is still unknown, is already Riding out with you!

New life, to all lives Find our way, release our dreams “I can’t pull back, I won’t stop, a still-ticking count-out”

So in a borderline battle, even if we strike and get hurt, isn’t it okay? Until the time limit, we won’t give up; that’s right, we don’t know fear In a borderline battle, if you knock out and burn out, isn’t it the best? Ride on this era throughout the entire world, c’mon, with everyone!
