Hacking to the Gate
Lyrics & Composition: Chiyomaru Shikura
Arrangement: Toshimichi Isoe
Welcome!! Time line travel on the game.
Welcome!! Heroes hacking to the gate.
Even the number of billions of heartbeats
is a trifling rank akin to the blink of an eye to you
Captured by the past while grieving the future
It's an inevitable I won't allow, not a spec of dust
The dreams spreading out "infinitely" and the future we imagine
are vain privileges permitted us
"The finite" - the two clocks hands will show that
Towards a choice with a cruel contract, hacking to the Gate...
That's why now in every second I want to cross the world line
and protect that smile of yours
And then I'll be swallowed into a loop
of time with no sorrow again, a lonely observer
Claims of life and meaningless proof
they're drollery not enough to kill boredom for you
A foolish race acting like rulers
set up conceited and childish theorems
The love we believed to be "endless" and the yonder of the sky
are virtual liberties shown to us
"The finite" - it mercilessly marks the passage of time
Towards a choice that even denies tomorrow, hacking to the Gate...
The many shining days and the promise with my friends
I mustn't make them into things that were not
For that, I won't hesitate any longer in the left behind device
that deludes time, a lonely observer
That's why now in every second I want to cross the world line
and protect that smile of yours
And then I'll be swallowed into a loop
of time with no sorrow again, a lonely observer

Suujuuoku mo no kodou no kazu sae
Anata niwa matataki teido no saji na toukyuu
Kako ni torawarete mirai wo nageku mo
Chiri hitotsu gosan wo yurusanu hitsuzen
"Mugen" ni hirogaru yume mo egaku mirai mo
Bokutachi ni yurusareta kyoei no kenri
"Yuugen" sore wa futatsu no hari ga shimesu
Zankoku na yakujou to sentaku e Hacking to the Gate───
Dakara ima ichibyou goto ni sekaisen wo koete
Kimi no sono egao mamoritai no sa
Soshite mata kanashimi no nai jikan no RUUPU e to
Nomikomarete yuku kodoku no kansokusha
Inochi no shuchou to muimi na shoumei
Anata niwa taikutsushinogi ni taranu kokkei
Shihaisha kidori no oroka na shuzoku wa
Unuboreta chisetsu na teiri wo narabeta

Bokutachi ni shimesareta kasou no jiyuu
"Yuugen" sore wa mujihi ni toki wo kizami
Asu sae mo hitei suru sentaku e Hacking to the Gate───
Ikutsu mo no kagayakeru hibi nakama to no yakusoku

数十億もの 鼓動の数さえ
あなたには 瞬き程度の些事な等級
過去に囚われて 未来を嘆くも
塵一つ 誤算を許さぬ必然
『無限』に広がる夢も 描く未来も
僕達に許された 虚栄の権利
『有限』それは二つの 針が示す
残酷な約定と 選択へ Hacking to the Gate───
だからいま 1秒ごとに 世界線を超えて
君のその笑顔 守りたいのさ
そしてまた 悲しみの無い 時間のループへと
飲み込まれてゆく 孤独の観測者
命の主張と 無意味な証明
あなたには 退屈しのぎに足らぬ滑稽
支配者きどりの 愚かな種族は
うぬぼれた 稚拙な定理を並べた
『無限』と信じた愛も 空の彼方も
僕達に示された 仮想の自由
『有限』それは無慈悲に 時を刻み
明日さえも否定する 選択へ Hacking to the Gate───
いくつもの 輝ける日々 仲間との約束
無かった事には してはいけない
そのために 時を欺く 残された仕掛けに
もう迷いはない 孤独の観測者
だからいま 1秒ごとに 世界線を超えて
君のその笑顔 守りたいのさ
そしてまた 悲しみの無い 時間のループへと
飲み込まれてゆく 孤独の観測者
