Kanji:

戦場の太陽は高く揺れて　感情に棲み着く陰を落とす

知らないまま　痛みに変わること　悟るように

悲しみから生まれた夢も　世界と君が許してくれる

そう　瞼の裏で繰り返す　この空が呼ぶ声に

響いて　ただ駆け抜けた　胸に眩い衝動

弾けた想いに　My star will shine forever

あの日抱えた全て　強く生きて行け　僕の中で今

蘇る　時間　この場所で　僕ら絶対譲れない願いを

ただ一つこの声で　強く刻んで行け　This is The Asterisk War

愛情が交差して　淡くなっていく　同情はいらない　情けないだろう？

失敗から　間違いない自分を作り出して

君が歌う希望の歌が　道を塞ぐ棘(いばら)を溶かした

そう　いつか来る笑顔の時を　二人の瞳で捉えて

叫んで　鳴らすのは鼓動　分かち合いたい衝動

今わかったんだ　My star will shine forever

終わりのない道を　強く歩いていけ　そして蘇る

ぬくもりと　守るべき約束を　その願いに　かけがえのない希望を

絶対に忘れないで　強く描いて行け　This is The Asterisk War

This is The Asterisk War

響いて　この手の中で　確信になる衝動

涙乗り越えて　My star will shine forever

運命が出した答えを　強く壊して行け　夢のために今

蘇る　時間　この場所で　僕ら絶対譲れない願いを

ただ一つこの声で　強く刻んで行け　This is The Asterisk War

English:

The sun above this battlefield sways on high, 

casting away the shadows settled upon our emotions…

As if it’s aware they’ll someday turn to pain unknowingly.

Even the dreams born of this sadness… 

will be forgiven by the world, and you.

So take note as it recurs behind your eyelids, 

responding to the voice of this summoning sky:

Ringing out, a fresh impulse rushed through my heart,

As feelings burst free: My star will shine forever!

I’ll keep living powerfully with all the things I embraced that day 

– existing now, deep within me!

As the past revives, in this very place, 

I have a wish from which I’ll never back down;

I’ll etch it powerfully with my one and only voice: This is The Asterisk War!

Feelings of love intersect, growing dimmer; 

I have no need for sympathy – isn’t it pathetic?

From failed outcomes, I create an impeccable version of myself.

That song of hope you sang melted away the thorns barring this path,

So that we could each eventually see a smiling future.

Screaming out, what resounds is my heartbeat; an impulse I seek to share

– I just realized: My star will shine forever!

I’ll walk strongly down this endless road, then be reborn!

Holding that warmth, and promises to be protected, 

I’ll bare an irreplaceable hope for that wish;

Never forgetting, I’ll paint this path powerfully: This is The Asterisk War!

This is The Asterisk War!

Ringing out, that impulse took certain form within my hands;

Overcoming my tears, My star will shine forever!

I’ll go forth powerfully, breaking the answer fate has given 

– right now, for the sake of my dreams!

As the past revives, in this very place, 

I have a wish from which I’ll never back down;

I’ll etch it powerfully with my one and only voice: This is The Asterisk War!
