OOF this track. It packs quite the punch. Last time we had Fred, and this time we've got Moran. Oh how I love it when the Moriarty group sing about how dedicated they are to William. For Moran's song, it's the way it ends that gets me every time. I want versus I can't, and Izawa Yuuki has this powerful way of showing just how much he wants it, but accepts that he can't.
The steel soldier cries
鋼の戦士は嘆けども | Hagane no senshi wa nagekedomo

ウィリアム俺は お前を救いたい
誰よりも 誰よりも
でもお前は それを望まない
猛った覚悟は 空を切る：たけ
Romaji
William ore wa omae wo sukuitai
Dare yori mo Dare yori mo
Demo omae wa sore wo nozomanai
Teketta kakugo wa sora wo kiru
Kono kobushi wa tada no tetsukizu
Omae wo kurushimi kara mamorenai
Hagane no senshi wa nagekedomo
Omae no kokoro wo idakenai
William ore wa omae no
Hiiroo ni naritakatta
Keredo omae no hitomi wa
Tooi kanata dake wo mitumeteru
William ore wa omae ni
Inochi sasage kuchi hatetemo iinda
Keredo omae no sono mune ni
Ore no kono te wa todokanai
Ore wa omae wo sukuitai
Ore wa omae wo sukuenai
Keredo…
English
William, I want to save you
More than anyone, more than anyone
But I know you don’t want that
Your determination can slice the skies above
This fist of mine is but scrap metal
for it cannot even protect you from pain
Even if I, a steel-cold warrior, cries out to you
I cannot hold your heart
William, I wanted
to be your hero so badly
But your eyes were always
fixated on the horizon beyond
William, I would gladly
offer you my soul and let it rot
But my hand
cannot reach your heart
