歩き疲れ　夜が満ちて
静かに目を閉じたくても
欲望とは　眠り知らず
傷だらけの脚を立たせ…

灼けるような　喉の乾きを
癒すために　また歩き出す

生きとし生けるすべてに告ぐ
その命わずか一秒でさえ
無為に過ごすことを許すな
I've never felt so satisfied
夢に終わりはない　この鼓動止まるその日まで

たどり着いた場所で一人
手のひらで　水を掬えば
止まぬ願い　熱を伝え
雫残さず　焼き尽くす

蜃気楼を　追いかけるなら
安息など　決してないのさ

生きとし生けるすべてに告ぐ
完璧に満たされたとしたなら
それこそ絶望のはじまり
I've never felt so satisfied
餓えた獣のよう　暗闇でその目を光らせ

後悔なきよう　自分を信じたら
前だけを向いて　進め

生きとし生けるすべてに告ぐ
その命わずか一秒でさえ
無為に過ごすことを許すな
I've never felt so satisfied
夢に終わりはない　この鼓動止まるその日まで


aruki tsukare yoru ga michite
shizuka ni me wo tojitakute mo
yokubou to wa nemuri shirazu
kizudarake no ashi wo tatase…

yakeru you na nodo no kawaki wo
iyasu tame ni mata aruki dasu

iki toshi ikeru subete ni tsugu
sono inochi no wazuka ichi byou de sae
mui ni sugosu koto wo yurusu na
I've never felt so satisfied
yume ni owari wa nai kono kodou tomaru sono hi made

tadori tsuita basho de hitori
te no hira ni mizu wo sukueba
yamanu negai netsu wo tsutae
shizuku nokosazu yaki tsukusu

shinkirou wo oikakeru nara
ansoku nado keshite nai no sa

iki toshi ikeru subete ni tsugu
kanpeki ni mitasareta toshita nara
sore koso zetsubou no hajimari
I've never felt so satisfied
ueta kedamono no you kurayami de sono me wo hikarase

koukai naki you jibun wo shinjitara
mae dake wo muite susume

iki toshi ikeru subete ni tsugu
sono inochi no wazuka ichi byou de sae
mui ni sugosu koto wo yurusu na
I've never felt so satisfied
yume ni owari wa nai kono kodou tomaru sono hi made


Exhausted from walking, in the dead of night
even though I want to peacefully close my eyes
desire knows not sleep
and forces my battered legs to stand...

To heal my burning thirst
I set off walking again

I tell to all that lives
Do not permit even a single second of your life
to be spent idly
I've never felt so satisfied
There will be no end to the dream, until the day my heart stops beating

Alone in the place I struggled to
if I scoop up water in the palm of my hand
the ceaseless wish gives off heat
and burns it dry leaving not a drop

If you chase after a mirage
there will not be a moments rest

I tell to all that lives
Were you ever to be perfectly sated
that itself is the beginning of despair
I've never felt so satisfied
Like a starved beast, let your eyes shine in the pitch black

If you believe in yourself with no regrets
Only face forward, and go on!

I tell to all that lives
Do not permit even a single second of your life
to be spent idly
I've never felt so satisfied
There will be no end to the dream, until the day my heart stops beating
