The TV version has an unusually long introduction, due to the music beginning a short time before the action has finished when used at the end of an episode. In any case, this is another very Lina Inverse-ish song. If the answer's not there, forget it; she'll make the most of what she has and push on regardless. If trouble comes looking for her, she'll face it head-on—and note that "trouble" for Lina Inverse has included several cases of entities with godlike powers wanting her dead. No matter how hopeless the situation seems to be, it's not over until she's had the last word.

| 終わりはしない | Owari wa shinai | It isn't over. |
| Interlude ~11 seconds | ||
| 晴れ渡る空から 落ちるとおり涙1 流れてゆく雲に 追いつけなくって |
Harewataru sora kara ochiru toori ame1 Nagarete yuku kumo ni oitsukenakutte |
A shower of tears1 falls from the clear sky, Unable to catch up with the clouds streaming by. |
| 旅立ちの先には 新しい出会い でも流されてるようで 落ち着かなくって |
Tabidachi no saki ni wa atarashii deai De mo nagasarete ru you de ochitsukanakutte |
When I set off on a journey, it leads to new meetings, But I can't settle down, it's like I'm being swept along. |
| それでも この瞬間に 全てが 終わる 訳じゃない そうでしょ |
Sore de mo kono shunkan ni Subete ga owaru wake ja nai sou desho |
Even so, it's not as though it's all over In this instant. Isn't that right? |
| あきれる程 悩み抜いて 出ない答え 今はいらない ほら本当は あきらめていない まだまだ行こう 終わりはしない 一緒に行こう 覚悟決めてね |
Akireru hodo nayami nuite Denai kotae ima wa iranai Hora hontou wa akiramete inai Mada mada ikou Owari wa shinai issho ni ikou kakugo kimete ne |
I don't need an answer now if I can't find it After worrying it over so much I get sick of it. Look, the truth is I haven't given up. I'm still going strong. It isn't over. Come with me. Steel your resolve. |
| Interlude ~11 seconds | ||
| 赤いテールランプ 何処までも続く ブレーキ踏みすぎて 思考2が渋滞 |
Akai TEERU RANPU doko made mo tsudzuku BUREEKI fumi sugite KOKORO2 ga juutai |
The red tail lights keep going endlessly. Too much stepping on the brakes leaves thought2 gridlocked. |
| それでも どんな道でも 信じる先に 生まれる ものでしょ |
Sore de mo donna michi de mo Shinjiru saki ni umareru mono desho |
Even so, whatever road I take, Something is sure to be born where belief leads me. |
| あきれる程 くり返して やっと出会える 奇跡もあるの リアルな問題3 山積みでも 逃げはしない 隠れもしない あせらず行こう 自分の人生4を |
Akireru hodo kurikaeshite Yatto deaeru kiseki mo aru no RIARU na KOTO3 yamadzumi de mo Nige wa shinai kakure mo shinai Aserazu ikou jibun no michi4 wo |
Some miracles you can only meet After so much repetition you get sick of it. Even when the problems3 of the real world pile up, I refuse to run. I refuse to hide. I'll keep calm and live my own life4. |
| Interlude ~37 seconds. Included are echoes of Lina chanting parts of various spells, ending with the last line of perhaps her most iconic one. |

| We gonna make a revolution |
We gonna make a revolution |
We're gonna start a revolution! |
| あきれる程 悩み抜いて 出ない答え 今はいらない ほら本当は あきらめていない まだまだ行こう 終わりはしない 一緒に行こう 覚悟決めてね |
