[Intro] (Wings of fire-fire-fire-fire-fire) (Wings of fire-fire-fire-fire-fire, fire-fire Wings of - Higher)

[Both] Wings of fire, we let our wings carry our passion for love, higher Wings of fire, freely, we will fly high forever.

[Verse 1 - Sayuki] We didn't wait a long time to glitter Without sleeping, we go on repainting the seasons.

[Pre-Chorus - Mako] Don't hesitate, keep stepping on the gas with all your heart Without closing your eyes, even in the violent wind

[Chorus - Both] Wings of fire, we let our wings carry our passion for love, higher Wings of fire, flying hotter than my heartbeat

Wings of fire, crossing higher together to the end of time, higher Wings of fire, we're reaching to the distant star

(Hi-hi-hi-hi-higher-higher)

[Verse 2 - Sayuki] Just hearing your voice calms my feelings I feel happier when we're together

[Pre-Chorus 2 - Mako] Even in those days we kept wandering on the broken rails Your answer was kind. Never let go of my hand.

[Chorus 2 - Both] Wings of fire, we let our wings carry our passion for love, higher Wings of fire, freely, we will fly high forever.

Wings of fire, we're going faster and higher Wings of fire, we're reaching and flying across the sky

[Bridge] (Wings of fire-fire-fire-fire-fire, fire-fire) (Wings of - Higher - Higher-Higher-Higher-Higher-Higher-Higher-Higher-Higher)
