Lyrics
"...Arbelge." The hero sought after by an era.
However, there is no satisfaction.
No, there's even something missing,
He forgot something important...
"...Arbelge." Reasons have no meaning.
It all boils down to the same thing when he strikes. There is no blade without malice.
No place to call his own either.
There is only the era he dashed through in a shower of blood...
"...Arbelge." Repeating pain.
If it were allowed, he even wished that he could return
To that time of ignorance
Even if history wouldn't change one bit...
-The first atrocity-
"Do not fear, young ones
Whip your shaking knees into shape and march on
The approaching enemy forces number 5000
We have to stop them in this forest, no matter what..."
Memories of younger days.
The boy who once was a crybaby
Now carries the pride and conviction of a warrior within his heart
And heads towards the battlefield, swarming with despair...
Even if his body were to crumble,
He still wanted to protect something...
The forest where I gathered fruits with my mother...
The river where I fished with my father...
The hill where I exchanged a promise with you...
Memories of younger days.
The boy from that summer
Now carries a sword in his right hand, letting off a dull shine,
And heads towards the battlefield where the reaper beckons
Even if his body were to crumble,
He still wanted to protect something...
He won't run. Who will destiny choose...
He won't run. What will the future reflect...

「・・・ア－ベルジュ」時代が求めた英雄
それとて満ち足りた事ではない いや むしろ欠けてさえいる 大切な何かを 置き忘れてきてしまった・・・
「・・・ア－ベルジュ」理由などに意味は無い 斬ってしまえば同じ 悪意なき剣など無し 身を寄せる場所もなく ただ血の雨の中を駈け抜けた時代・・・
「・・・ア－ベルジュ」繰り返す痛み 願わくば 戻りたいとさえ想った 何も知らなかったあの頃に 何一つ歴史は 変わらないとしても・・・
－ 最初の惨劇 －
「若者よ臆するな 震える膝を鞭打って進め 迫りくる敵軍は五千 何としても この森で食い止めろ・・・」
幼き日の思い出よ 泣き虫だった少年は 戦士の誇り 信念を胸に 絶望が渦巻く戦場へ・・・
その身朽ち果てようとも 守りたいものがあった・・・
母さんと木の実を拾った森・・・ 父さんと釣りをした川・・・ 君と約束を交わした丘・・・
幼き日の思い出よ あの夏の少年は 右手に剣 鈍い光を放ち 死神が手招く戦場へ
その身朽ち果てようとも 守りたいものがあった・・・
彼は逃げない 運命は誰を選ぶ・・・
彼は逃げない 未来は何を映す・・・
