01. Reckless One

[ Verse 01 ]

Sometimes I don't understand

why can't I just run away like everyone else

it's easier to just surrender and walk away

(why do I keep coming back)

I keep coming back,

fractured and worn out

yet, I stand here and fight over and over,

not knowing if there's a chance

[ Chorus ]

I was standing right next to you, fighting against the world

I already knew, no matter what I do nothing will ever change

yet, I'm still standing here for you,

fighting against the world

even though you’re gone,

no matter what I do nothing is ever coming back

yet, I'm still here for you

[ Verse 02 ]

Maybe I should just give it up

but no matter how hard I try to let it go

I know I will end up here

(why do I keep coming back)

my burdens piled up high

about to collapse now

yet, I stand here to try over and over,

not knowing if there's a chance

[ Chorus ]

I was standing right next to you, fighting against the world

I already knew, no matter what I do nothing will ever change

yet, I'm still standing here for you,

fighting against the world

even though you’re gone,

no matter what I do nothing is ever coming back

yet, I'm still here for you

[ Bridge ]

그대가 남겨 놓은 족적을 따라 밟아
I walk upon the footprints you left behind

여전히 기억 속 그대 뒷모습을 바라봐
Still staring at your fading silhouette within my memories

시대의 거대한 파도를 거스르는 우리들의 행보, 이어져온 계보
Our march against the massive tides of this age, a lineage carried on through time

고결한 뜻으로 기른 나무들을 무너뜨리는 저들의 횡포, 그에 돌아설 수 없기에
The trees raised with noble purpose crushed beneath their tyranny,
And so I cannot turn away

내가 달리는 한 걸음은 그 걸음의 무게를 감당하기위한 처절한 발악
Every step I run is a desperate struggle to bear the weight of that step

뒷걸음을 친 저들의 눈초리들은 기다려 내 몰락
The eyes of those who stepped back await my downfall

또 한편으로는 내가 부른 먹구름이 저 적들에게 물벼락을 내려
Yet the storm clouds I summoned will pour upon my enemies

이 그릇된 흐름을 바꿔주리라는 바람
With hope of changing this twisted tide

그을은 사념들이 내 다리를 붙잡아도
Even if charred thoughts clutch at my legs

한발짝 더 내딧으며
I take one step further

소릴 있는 힘껏 내지르며 달려
Running while screaming with all the strength I have

기백으로 밀어붙혀, 태엽이 터지기전에 저들을 모두 다 내 발 아래 둬야만해
Drive forward with sheer spirit, before my gears burst apart I must bring them all beneath my feet

무모하다 해도 I have to carry on
Call it reckless if you must, I have to carry on

[ Guitar Solo ]

[ Last Chorus ]

I was standing right next to you, fighting against the world

I already knew, no matter what I do nothing will ever change

yet, I'm still standing here for you,

fighting against the world

even though you’re gone,

no matter what I do nothing is ever coming back

yet, I'm still here for you

[ Outro ]

No matter what I will stand here for...
