CHECKMATE

Iroasenai… STAR KNIGHTS ALL

English Translation

The hands of the clock begin to move

Guiding us to today's chosen game

Sliding above the stage like a dance

As the curtains of the play open

A king and a queen

Chasing and running away

Drawing a dazzling fantasy

Scattering sparks

This decisive battle is a silent fight

An unwavering

Strategy

Takes just one moment

Taking up this sword, we'll make a promise to you

That we'll be there, stronger than anyone

In this black and white world, as the boundaries mingle

We'll do it, and keep on fighting

Proudly

On this dazzling battlefield

The brave duelists

accept the light

Let's determine the true king Checkmate

To freely move the pieces

Our ensemble resounds into the sky

This board is a sanctuary

Our art will make flowers bloom

Two glittering dreams

Colliding into one another

Shining on until the very last second

Until this voice gives out

I want this sparkling song to reach you

The best

Performance

We shall dedicate it to you

On this stage, let us make a vow

That we will be here, for as long as we live

With valor, no matter what enemy confronts us

We will keep dancing on, forever

Wavering within the lingering sun

The chemical lights illuminate the world

White and black together

Ruled over by

Another world

We are holy knights

Taking up this sword, we'll make a promise to you

That we'll be here, stronger than anyone

With the ones who walk together to the future

We'll do it, and keep on fighting

Proudly

On this dazzling battlefield

The brave duelists

are bathed in a light

To be called the true king Checkmate

We are the unfading star knights
