"ONE OK ROCK - Mighty Long Fall [Official Music Video]"
Theme for the live action movie sequel, "Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno"/ 『るろうに剣心 京都大火編』

Lyrics (Translation to English in blue):

When we met... the pain... stood still... it was us
Then suddenly it's where'd you go
The system blew, I knew ...

This side of me, I want a little more
But inside it seems I’m just a little boy
Nothing else!

Don’t go! It’s a mighty long fall
When you thought life was the top (Whoa)
Oh no! It’s a wake up call
When your life went into shock (Whoa whoa)

It seems like gravity keeps pulling us back down
Don't go! It’s a mighty long fall
When you know time is up (Whoa whoa)

嘘ひとつ、　愛を二つ (Uso hitotsu, aiwo futatsu) One lie and feelings for two
それでなんとかやり過ごしてきたでしょ? (Sorede nantoka yarisugoshi tekita desho) But you did carry on somehow, didn’t you?
でもそれじゃもう僕をダマせないでしょ? (Demo sore ja mou boku wo damasenai desho) Still you can’t shut me out any longer, right?
じゃ、 どうする?　どうしよう? (Ja, dou suru? dou shiyou?) Well, what do you want to do now? What to do?

Don’t go! It’s a mighty long fall
When you thought life was the top (Whoa)
Oh no! It’s a wake up call
When your life went into shock (Whoa whoa)

描きたがりな未来に明日はない (Egakitagari na mirai ni wa ashita wa nai) The Future doesn't always go as you imagine it
いっそどうせ痛むなら、 (Isso douse itamu nara,) If it's going to hurt anyway,
傷め続けよう! (Itame, tsuzukeyou!) let's just accept it!
続けよう!! (tsuzukeyou!!) And keep on accepting it!!

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa

Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
Time to make amends for what you did...
Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
Running with the demons in your head...

Let’s shout it out completely
You never really wanna know
Let’s shout it out, we're screaming

Whoa ......

Don’t go! It’s a mighty long fall
When you thought life was the top (Whoa)
Oh no! It’s a wake up call
When your life went into shock (Whoa whoa)

It seems like gravity keeps pulling us back down
Don’t go! It’s a mighty long fall
When you know time is up (Whoa whoa)

Don’t go! Don’t go!”

Lyrics (Translation to English in blue):

Chiisai koro wa Kami-sama ga ite When I was small there were gods
Fushigini yume o Kanaete kureta And they granted my wishes in mysterious ways
Yasashii kimochi de Mezameta asa wa On mornings when you wake up feeling at ease
Otona ni nattemo Kiseki wa okoru yo Miracles happen even when you grow up

* Kaaten o hiraite Shizukana komorebi no Open the curtain wide let faint sunbeams shine through
Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara Kitto Let their gentleness engulf you I'm sure
Me ni utsuru Subete no koto wa Meseeji All that appears before your eyes is a message

Chiisai koro wa Kami-sama ga ite When I was small there were gods
Mainichi ai o Todokete kureta And every day they sent me their love
Kokoro no oku ni Shimai wasureta Deep in my heart a precious box
Taisetsuna hako Hiraku toki wa ima Long forgotten the time to open it is now

Ame agari no niwa de Kuchinashi no kaori no In a garden where the rain has stopped the faint fragrance of gardenias
Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara Kitto Let it's gentleness engulf you I'm sure
Me ni utsuru Subete no koto wa Meseeji All that appears before your eyes is a message
