Alive is a song by the Japanese singer ReoNa (who previously performs Untitled World) that acts as the opening theme of Arknights: Prelude to Dawn. It is sung in both Japanese and Chinese, with the latter used in the Chinese dub of Prelude to Dawn.
The version used as the opening theme of Prelude to Dawn covers up to and including the first chorus.
I've walked the road of lies and misery 何も残ってないな Scars of the past is what makes me who I am 溢れ落ちてく 落ちてく
風が全て熱を奪って行く I feel my heart aching inside
何を守って 傷つけて 今まで生きてきたんだろう To find the truth in everything 理不尽と戦って You see 間違いじゃないと 'Cause I'm still alive I feel alive, with this pain
I'll be the only one with a voice 声を上げたって返事もない Holding out my hand but no one seems to care 終わりはまだ遠いかい
ゆらゆらゆらり揺れる陽炎 And burning from the inside out
また失って 苛立って 全て嫌ってきたんだろう 凍えて 焼かれて 不条理に抗って You see 忘れたくないよ 'Cause I'm still alive I feel alive, with this pain
動いてく世界に 引き裂かれたって 誰かに届くように あなたに届くように Yeah
何度嘆いても 蓋しても それでも消えなかったんだろう With all the scars within me 後悔も握り締めて You see 間違いじゃないよ I feel alive Alive
何を守って 傷つけて 今まで生きてきたんだろう To find the truth in everything 理不尽と戦って You see 間違いじゃないと 'Cause I'm still alive I feel alive, with this pain
I've walked the road of lies and misery Nanimo nokottenai na Scars of the past is what makes me who I am Koboreochiteku ochiteku

I've walked the road of lies and misery 所有的存在都已不在 Scars of the past is what makes me who I am 如满溢而出一般 掉落下来
风它来过带走喧嚣留下沉默 I feel my heart aching inside
到底这一路走来 守护了谁 又伤害失去了什么 To find the truth in everything 直面这无序世界 You see 对错并非有绝对 'Cause I'm still alive I feel alive, with this pain
I'll be the only one with a voice 哪怕尽力呼喊 也没有答案 Holding out my hand but no one seems to care 前路还要多远 才到终点
摇啊摇 摇曳的光影好似火焰 And burning from the inside out
直到重蹈覆辙 怀疑猜测 开始厌恶现在所有 走过寒风 走过烈火 逆行在无序世界 You see 绝对不会忘记的 'Cause I'm still alive I feel alive, with this pain
哪怕摇摇欲坠的世界 使我们就此隔绝 为了向何人传递 这心愿 为了向你 传递这心愿 Yeah
即使深深叹息 遮掩的过去 最后也会留下痕迹 With all the scars within me 心怀悔恨前行 You see 对错并非有绝对 I feel alive Alive
到底这一路走来 守护了谁 又伤害失去了什么 To find the truth in everything 直面这无序世界 You see 对错并非有绝对 'Cause I'm still alive I feel alive, with this pain

Strangely enough, when Alive was uploaded on Arknights' official Facebook, it was partially muted due to "copyright claim", which quickly became a subject of jokes in the community.[1] Said video was replaced with a version without the credits two months later, where Alive can be fully heard.
