THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS - As I'm Alive (english translation)

I love this song, but I wish they’d get someone to look their English over. Their lyrics are so close to being really good, but the shady grammar makes them hard to read. 

I tweaked some of the more Engrish-y lines in the translation to make it sound less awkward, but the romaji has the original lyrics.

u-ya's screamed lines are written in [].



As I’m Alive

Lyrics: Glielmo Ko-ichi
Music: Glielmo Ko-ichi/u-ya

Here’s the world that I’ve arrived at
The inspiration that I’m continuing to search for
Here's what our impulse has driven us to*
That’s a little scary sometimes
Once in a while I’ve lost sight of it
But even if the pieces I’ve piled up come to nothing,

[The driving force of our emotion shakes off the reality approaching you
As I’m alive, revive once again]

Not too late
Not too late
That’s how I’m here

It's just begun
Everything is in my two hands now
Breaking or saving it is in my hands now
[Wake up!! Stand up!!]
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

Everything doesn’t always turn out my best
So we have the right reason to embrace the future
[Wake up!! Stand up!!]
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

[The regret that everyone has once faced
Has great value to the future]

Here’s the world that I’ve arrived at
Destination-less frustration
Here's what our impulse has driven us to
Sometimes there are obstacles,
And once in a while I’ve wandered around aimlessly
But even if the pieces I’ve piled up crumble down,

[The driving force of our emotion shakes off the reality approaching you
As I’m alive, revive once again]

Not too late
Not too late
That’s how I’m here

It's just begun
Everything is in my two hands now
Breaking or saving it is in my hands now
[Wake up!! Stand up!!]
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

Everything doesn’t always turn out my best
So we have the right reason to embrace the future
[Wake up!! Stand up!!]
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

[The regret that everyone has once faced
Has great value to the future]

The time for consideration has already ended
[Piled up emotion is the only thing] you can depend on in this coming [momentary decision]

Everything is in my two hands now
Breaking or saving it is in my hands now
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

[The driving force of our emotion shakes off the reality approaching you
As I’m alive, revive once again]

It's just begun
Everything is in my two hands now
Breaking or saving it is in my hands now
[Wake up!! Stand up!!]
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

Everything doesn’t always turn out my best
So we have the right reason to embrace the future
[Wake up!! Stand up!!]
Persuade myself
That’s how I’m here

[The regret that everyone has once faced
Has great value to the future]

Notes:
*Or maybe "Here's the world that our impulse has driven us to" ?
