Period
Vocabulary from Chemistry: 'Period' (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OP4 (鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST OP4) · 2009).
終わりなき旅の途中 立ち止まりそうな時
深いため息こぼす 僕らは
掴みかけてはまた離れていった
でも今はもう何も恐れることはない
心を繋ぐ強い絆は
けして解けはしないさ
探し続けて辿り着いた
この場所でPeriodに
愛に満ちたぬくもり 体中駆け巡る
二度と消えることない 記憶が…
必ず約束果たして君を連れてくよ
溢れる(夢を)願い(抱いて)すべて歌に乗せて
現実から目を逸らさずに
立ち向かう勇気を
悲しみ怒り力に変えて
運命はすぐそばに
向かう先はほら
煌めく世界
僕を震わすこの歓声を
裏切ることはしないさ
共に生きてく未来の為に
この場所でPeriodに
真実は指先に
