Verse 1

Hiiro: Isn’t it obvious?
If you still don’t understand,
Then no matter how much time passes,
Aira: You’ll remain a cheap imitation
That’s just boring, right?
Mayoi: If it’ll all end up neither useful nor useless
Tatsumi: If all you have are throwaway cards
Then become a soldier and fight!

(Spade!)
Hiiro: We’ll destroy it all
(Heart!)
Aira: In the name of love
Hiiro&Aira: There’s a place we want to reach
(Clover!)
Mayoi: Winning against desire
(Diamond!)
Tatsumi: And keeping hope in hand
Mayoi&Tatsumi: All to choose the path we must follow

Aira: Take the stigmas others branded into you
Tatsumi: And change them by your will
Mayoi: The suit etched into your heart screams out:
Hiiro: Lay down your hand!

All: Standing on the edge! (Kiss of Life)
The real fight starts now
We’ll turn it all on its head—even fate!
Crawl back up! (Kiss of Life)
Addicts of adversity
ALKALOID... That’s right
We’re Holic Star!
Standing on the edge!
(We wanna take a Chance.
We have a weapon to get win.
Somebody says “impossible”,
But we never give up!)
Push onward! (Kiss of Life)
The marching won’t stop
Until you become the real thing... Shine!
Sound together!

Verse 2

Mayoi: Yearning, vying, hungering, these urges in your chest
Tatsumi: If you’re going to let them sway you, then why not do as you please?
Aira: Take the things you weren’t given
Hiiro: And become someone who can give them
All: With the ensemble of cards you were dealt

(Spade!)
Hiiro: We’ll rip it to shreds
(Heart!)
Aira: With love’s rose thorns
Hiiro&Aira: No need for the veil of darkness
(Clover!)
Mayoi: Just holding it all in
(Diamond!)
Tatsumi: Won’t make your dreams blossom
Mayoi&Tatsumi: Take root in the one and only place you belong

Hiiro: A chemical compound you can’t make alone
Mayoi: Become a poison that makes one lose themselves
Aira: A poker hand you can’t make alone
Tatsumi: Pull out your trump card!

All: Standing on the edge! (Kiss of Life)
Let’s have a bout
Even a desperate situation’s exciting, don’t you think?
Crawl back up! (Kiss of Life)
If you’re standing at the very bottom
Then just start from there!
Standing on the edge!
(We wanna take a Chance.
We have a weapon to get win.
Somebody says “impossible”,
But we never give up!)
Push onward! (Kiss of Life)
The marching continues
To the wilds of possibility:
We’re going!

Bridge

All: Stand back up! (Kiss of Life)
Hiiro&Mayoi: All you fakes and shams
Aira&Tatsumi: Nothing is absolute
All: In the future
Pull together (Kiss of Life)
The suits have lined up
Now... Turn the tables!

Standing on the edge! (Kiss of Life)
Showdown our hands!
We’ll turn it on its head... Destiny
Crawl back up! (Kiss of Life)
Addicts of adversity
ALKALOID... That’s right
We’re Holic Star!
Standing on the edge!
(We wanna take a Chance.
We have a weapon to get win.
Somebody says “impossible”,
But we never give up!)
Push onward! (Kiss of Life)
The marching won’t stop
To the wilds of possibility... (Kiss of Life)
Until you become the real thing... Shine!
Sound together!
Hiiro: Kiss of Life...
