For the sake of what are they risking their lives, and fighting for...?

⁽¹⁾ Literal translation: "A rusty wind is running through the crimson wastelands". Mitsumete Knight being a story of war and love taking place in middle ages where sword fighting is the fighting norm, I chose to fully show the implied meaning of the Japanese stanza in the translation.

⁽²⁾ "Tomodachi" (friends), sung as such in the song, is written in the Japanese lyrics as "Senyuutachi" (companions of war, comrades in arms, war comrades, war buddies). I chose to go with the written version, more fitting for the context of the song.

⁽³⁾ Literal translation: "Is made of tears played softly".
