Verse 1
Hiiro: Why are you so resistant?
Mayoi: You’re turning your eyes away, scared
Aira: You should be wanting to take a peek
Tatsumi: You need that kind of vanity
Mayoi: You’re frozen in failure
Hiiro: You can’t move an inch
Tatsumi: You think you’re playing a side role
Aira: But if you so easily
All: Throw away a fight
Mayoi: You’ll never win for all eternity
All: Gambling with an irreplaceable life
Is living itself
Hiiro: No stimulus?
Aira: Say bye-bye to those days!
Hiiro&Aira: Kick them down and head to the future
All: If you don’t have a bold dream
That others would laugh at, then you’ll never laugh yourself
Hiiro: Keep the Spade of Ace
All: Close to your chest!
Verse 2
Mayoi: Don’t worry about what others think
Tatsumi: It’s a waste to hide it
Hiiro: Make them want to see it instead
Aira: Why not fan their curiosity?
Hiiro: You run from regrets
Aira: Because you know the challenge
Mayoi: You have limits
Tatsumi: But how far can they go?
All: It’s time to test them
Tatsumi: It’s your newest effort!
All: Gambling with an irreplaceable life
Is living itself
Mayoi: Out of chips?
Tatsumi: We won’t let you say that
Mayoi&Tatsumi: Don’t sell yourself short
All: Go ahead and boast
Just chase after the words you say
Aira: Keep the Spade of Ace
All: Close to your chest!
Bridge
Hiiro&Mayoi: There’s only one card in the world
Aira&Tatsumi: Which represents your desire—Show it
All: All the feelings you’ve felt in your life
Hiiro: That’s speculation, right? [1]
Hiiro: If you don’t have a bold dream
That others would laugh at, then you’ll never laugh yourself
Mayoi: If others seem disinterested
Tatsumi: Then draw them in
Aira: With all your boasting!
All: Gambling with an irreplaceable life
Is living itself
Show Down your Space of Ace!
