Composer: Masayoshi Soken

Lyrics: Michael-Christopher Koji Fox

Lyric Concept & Translation: Natsuko Ishikawa

Heart of ember, autumntide

Cooling swiftly, bleeding light

Smold’ring softly, biding time

Marching forward, left behind

Fire as shadows clash

Forgotten footfalls engraved in ash

Fire will be repaid

’Fore our echoes begin to fade

Fade away... Fade away...

Heart of ember, autumntide

Burning brightly, hot and white

Kindred severed neverwhere

Sorrow’s silence, we needn’t bear

Stories sown along the way

Tales of loss and fire and faith

Dys an sohm in (Our slumber disturbed)

Rohs an kyn ala na (All my brothers wake)

Mah morn (Death comes)

Dys an sohm in (Our slumber disturbed)

Sahl djahs afah an (Vengeance will be ours)

Storm of blood

Born from blood

Of our fallen brothers

Thunder stilled

Oaths fulfilled

Now we yearn for freedom

Born in blood (still we forge ahead)

Stained in red (unto tomorrow)

Bound by love (so we forge ahead)

Purpose fed (unto tomorrow, bring us tomorrow)

Courage thrives (ever forge ahead)

Hand in hand (unto tomorrow, welcome tomorrow)

Souls aligned (that we forge ahead)

Forge ahead (yeah, we forge ahead, yeah, we forge ahead)

Forward

Our song of hope, she dances on the wind higher, oh higher

E’er our vows endure, and remain forever strong

Standing tall in the dark do we carry on

On wings of hope, you rise up through the night higher, oh higher

Carrying our song, cradled fast within your arms

That its chorus might ring for all

One brings shadow, one brings light

Two-toned echoes tumbling through time

Tumbling down to the never

Every step we take

Echoes in our wake

Winding ’round our fate

To forge ahead

Should we lose our way

Tire of all this pain

We won’t be afraid

To forge ahead

Fearless hearts ablaze

(When the world comes crumbling down)

No more time to waste

(Know I’ll be there)

No, it’s not too late

(Though our fleeting moment has gone)

To forge ahead

(You’re not—you’re not alone YEAH)

As we ride again

(As you turn your eyes to the stars)

To another end

(Oh, I’ll be there)

Where it all begins

(With my chorus guiding you)

Forge ahead

(Forge ahead)
