English translation<\/h2>\n
\n\n

\tSo, what do you intend to do, now that you’ve truly been lonely?
\n\tThese are the words you asked yourself, standing in the swirl of the crowd
\n\tOthers’ footsteps spread out all around you, but you’re the only one who can’t move<\/p>\n

\tWhat will you do about your dead soul? Even if you pretend to forget, you remember
\n\tNo matter how you try to cast it off or throw it away, it follows you everywhere
\n\tProtected in the darkness     in your trembling body     morning approaches<\/p>\n

\tYou are the abandoned child who had a late start
\n\tNow, what can you blame that on? [1]<\/p>\n

\tYou were blindfolded     your ears covered
\n\tAll by your own two hands<\/p>\n

\tLonely Glory     A voice from the furthest reaches is calling
\n\tThere is a light that keeps calling the name you could not choose
\n\tOnly Glory     It’s the trophy only you can claim
\n\tThe light that forgave you for reaching out with those ordinary hands [2]<\/p>\n

\tAnd then we resigned ourselves, having felt true terror
\n\tthat no matter how we try to run or hide, we’ll be exposed someday [3]
\n\tAt the starting line, we inhale deeply     exhale sharply
\n\tWaiting for the signal<\/p>\n

\tThere is no glamorous life without ridicule or resentment
\n\tIt was dazzling only at first.     Now tear off your blindfold
\n\tLook — the day has broken<\/p>\n

\tLonely Glory     I\u2019m alright, somehow I\u2019ll keep walking
\n\tOn a tiny road, only wide enough for one person, I saw the sign through tear-blurred eyes
\n\tOnly Glory     it’s the trophy only I can claim
\n\tBecause I would freeze if all alone, let these hands be the light that warms [4]<\/p>\n

\tI stroked the heart that had stopped beating
\n\tThe one I killed was none other than myself
\n\tA drop of light landed on the scar [5]
\n\tThere were signs of life.     Barely, but definitely<\/p>\n

\tInside me, a person, alone, was still alive
\n\tAfter drawing a first breath, the other with me made us two [6]<\/p>\n

\tBecause it was me, I understood
\n\t“Good morning, sorry, do you remember me?”
\n\tBecause I knew loneliness, when I met you again
\n\tI wasn’t alone anymore.<\/p>\n

\tThe lost child started out, with its first steps
\n\tLife is right here
\n\tIf you haven’t been chosen, go out to choose
\n\tIt’s your only glory<\/p>\n

\tLonely Glory     you know there is no such thing as the end of the earth [7]
\n\tIf there is a light that flies out far beyond where we can go by foot
\n\tThat light shines on these ordinary hands
\n\tTo make them special [8]<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

\n[3] Kakurete mitemo nigete mitemo itsuka wa terasareru tte koto. \u201cNo matter how [you] try to hide or run, you will be exposed\/shined upon.\u201d The imagery is suggestive of a fugitive, anxiously trying to hide or run away, worried that the searchlight will shine on them, and their location will be found out.
\n[4] Nukumori to deau tame no hikari: \u201cThe light that is meant to meet warmth\u201d
\n[5] Kizuato ni shizuka ga ochita: \u201cA fragment fell onto the scar.\u201d The type of fragment is not specified. I imagine it is a piece of life (a drop of blood, perhaps?) or of light, which is a major subject of this song.
\n[6] Boku to tomo ni futari de, literally: \u201cThe two of us, me and my friend\u201d
\n[7] Saihate nado nai to shiru: \u201cKnow that the farthest reaches\/farthest ends do not exist\u201d
