"Any card—so long as it exists—has a power that is needed."

Been a while since I posted one of these! 

So, after I finished my 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” project a bit ago, I wanted to go ahead and work on a full version of the singable lyrics I whipped up for CROSS GAME; I was proud of how the TV-size translation came out and wanted to tackle the full song, since I’d never done so.  There’s also no English (or even Spanish!) cover of this song apparently, so hopefully this helps to inspire folks to try it; it’s a really good song, and I miiiight’ve started thinking of Yusei and Aki a bit as I did the second verse with the “you lock me out… let me in?” line as CROSS GAME starts being used post-Fortune Cup and all, but I think the “shared goals” part and hearing stories can also work with the Signers coming together from their different backgrounds for their united purpose.  

For the line about an allegro, because an allegro describes something happening in almost an instant, the idea was that the scene being so captivatingly imagined about shared goals as stars lighting up the sky would be more vivid because it’d feel so much longer when actually in the moment of it happening.  It was tough trying to word it well enough to convey that, but hopefully I did, lol.

Enjoy, and yeah, feel free to use for fandubs or as a base for them or what have you! I’ll revise my Last Train - A New Morning translations soonish too and post those up, along with the With the Wind and Believe in Magic lyrics I meant to post for VRAINS *checks notes* two+ years ago… whoops
