Itō Kanako - Hacking To The Gate (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Even the billions of the heartbeats in the world
Are nothing to you but insignificant
Although I'm trapped in the past and lamenting the future
I must not allow even a dust-sized miscalculation

[Pre-Chorus]
The dreams that we stretch out forever
And the future we imagine is a theory in vain we allowed
The two hands of the clock point out the "finite" factor
Towards a cruel contract and choice, hacking to the gate

[Chorus]
That's why at this very moment, in the interval of a second
I want to cross the world-lines and protect your smile
Then, once again into a time loop devoid of misery
I will be swallowed as a lonely observer

[Verse 2]
To you, even life's viewpoints and meaningless proofs
Are not enough to amuse you
The foolish people acting as if they were the rulers of all
Have presented a conceited, childish theorem

[Pre-Chorus]
We have been shown the freedom to imagine things
Such as "infinite" love and what's beyond the sky
The "finite" is what's mercilessly allowing time to flow on
Towards my choice to deny tomorrow, hacking to the gate
[Chorus]
I must not pretend that I've never made any promise
With my friends back in those brilliant days
So I'll use what tricks I have left to deceive time
As a lonely observer with no more doubt

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
That's why at this very moment, in the interval of a second
I want to cross the world-lines and protect your smile
Then, once again into a time loop devoid of misery
I will be swallowed as a lonely observer
