So, what do you intend to do, now that you’ve truly been lonely?
These are the words you asked yourself, standing in the swirl of the crowd
Others’ footsteps spread out all around you, but you’re the only one who can’t move

What will you do about your dead soul? Even if you pretend to forget, you remember
No matter how you try to cast it off or throw it away, it follows you everywhere
Protected in the darkness     in your trembling body     morning approaches

You are the abandoned child who had a late start
Now, what can you blame that on? [1]

You were blindfolded     your ears covered
All by your own two hands

Lonely Glory     A voice from the furthest reaches is calling
There is a light that keeps calling the name you could not choose
Only Glory     It’s the trophy only you can claim
The light that forgave you for reaching out with those ordinary hands [2]

And then we resigned ourselves, having felt true terror
that no matter how we try to run or hide, we’ll be exposed someday [3]
At the starting line, we inhale deeply     exhale sharply
Waiting for the signal

There is no glamorous life without ridicule or resentment
It was dazzling only at first.     Now tear off your blindfold
Look — the day has broken

Lonely Glory     I’m alright, somehow I’ll keep walking
On a tiny road, only wide enough for one person, I saw the sign through tear-blurred eyes
Only Glory     it’s the trophy only I can claim
Because I would freeze if all alone, let these hands be the light that warms [4]

I stroked the heart that had stopped beating
The one I killed was none other than myself
A drop of light landed on the scar [5]
There were signs of life.     Barely, but definitely

Inside me, a person, alone, was still alive
After drawing a first breath, the other with me made us two [6]

Because it was me, I understood
“Good morning, sorry, do you remember me?”
Because I knew loneliness, when I met you again
I wasn’t alone anymore.

The lost child started out, with its first steps
Life is right here
If you haven’t been chosen, go out to choose
It’s your only glory

Lonely Glory     you know there is no such thing as the end of the earth [7]
If there is a light that flies out far beyond where we can go by foot
That light shines on these ordinary hands
To make them special [8]

そしてその身をどうするんだ　本当の孤独に気付いたんだろう
溢れる人の渦の中で　自らに問いかけた言葉
放射状に伸びる足跡　自分だけが歩き出せずにいる

死んだ心をどうするんだ　忘れた振りして覚えてんだろう
突き放しても　捨ててみても　どこまでも付いてくるって事
闇に守られて　震える身に　朝が迫る

置いていかれた迷子　遅すぎた始まり
さあ　何を憎めばいい

目隠しをしたのも　耳塞いだのも
全てその両手

ロンリー　グローリー　最果てから声がする
選ばれなかった名前を　呼び続けてる光がある
オンリー　グローリー　君だけが貰うトロフィー
特別じゃないその手が　触る事を許された光

そして僕らは覚悟した　本当の恐怖に気付いたんだよ
隠れてみても　逃げてみても　いつかは照らされるって事
位置について　息を吸い込んで　吐き出して
合図を待つ

笑われる事なく　恨まれる事なく　輝く命など無い
眩しいのは最初だけ　目隠し外せ
ほら　夜が明けた

ロンリー　グローリー　大丈夫　どうやら歩ける
一人分の幅の道で　涙目が捕まえた合図
オンリー　グローリー　僕だけが貰うトロフィー
一人に凍える　この手が　温もりと出合う為の光

息絶えた　心を撫でた
殺したのは　他ならぬ僕だ
傷跡に　雫が落ちた
動いたんだ　僅かでも確かに

まだ生きていた、僕の中で一人で
呼吸を始めた、僕と友に二人で

僕だったから　それが見えた
「おはよう、ごめんな、思い出せるかい」
孤独を知ったから　また出会えた
孤独じゃない

歩き出した迷子　足跡の始まり
ここには命がある
選ばれなかったなら　選びにいけ
ただひとつの栄光

ロンリー　グローリー　最果てなど無いと知る
この歩みよりも　もっと速く　飛び続けてる光ならば
特別じゃない　この手を
特別と名付ける為の光
