Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
力を持つものは須く優しい心を持ちなさい	chikara o motsu no wa subekaraku yasashii kokoro o mochinasai	‘Those who wield power must wield a kind heart.’
か弱くも静かに苗を持つ優しい人を守りなさい	kayowaku mo shizuka ni nao o motsu yasashii hito o morinasai	‘Even if she’s weak, protect the kind one who quietly holds a sprout.’
あゝ	aa	Ah,
要らないものと要らないものを	iranai mono to iranai mono o	The things I don’t want and the things I don’t need
天秤にかけて	tebin ni kakete	hang in a balance.
同じ質量の絆を得る	onaji shitsuryou no kisuna o eru	A flock of crows
烏の群れ	karasu no mure	make bonds with equal weight.
新しい嘘を新しいねと	atarashii uso o atarashii ne to	“A new lie is anew”
お互いに化けて	otagai ni kakete	They disguise themselves.
その美しい体を隠す	sono utsukushii karada o kakusu	Those beautiful bodies are concealed
穢れた心	kegareta kokoro	by tainted hearts.
よおくよおくご覧なさい	yooku yooku goran nasai	Take a good, long look;
ぽつぽつ零す水	potsupotsu kobosu mizu	dripping water flows.
欲に群がるその様は	yoku ni muragaru sono sama wa	The way they flock together in greed –
獲物見つけた花蟷螂(フラワーカマキリ)ね	emono mitsuketa furawaa kamakiri ne	The flower mantis has found its prey.
何も覚えてないの	nani mo oboetenai no	I don’t remember anything,
御免なさいね	gomennasai ne	I’m sorry.
誰も信じてないの	dare mo shinjitenai no	No one believes me,
此処では	koko de wa	so here I sleep
今日も銃を抱いて寝る	kyou mo juu o daite neru	holding a gun yet again today.
目に見えない血でまみれている	me ni mienai chi de mamirete iru	Covered in blood unnoticed,
私はグレイ	watashi wa gurei	I am grayed out.
難しいこと分からないねと	muzukashii koto wakaranai ne to	“I don’t get what’s so hard about it”
雛鳥に化けて	hinadori ni kakete	I disguise myself as a baby bird.
その美しい顔を啄む	sono utsukushii kao o tsuibamu	I peck at those pretty faces
穢れている	kegarete iru	that become ugly.
秘密を一個見つけましょう	himitsu o ikko mitsukemashou	Let’s find out that one secret.
大人みたいでどき、どき	otona mitai de doki, doki	It’s like we’re adults, ba-thump, ba-thump.
秘密を一個見つけましょう	himitsu o ikko mitsukemashou	Let’s find out that one secret.
吐き気がする思惑の空気	hakike ga suru omowaku no kuuki	The judgement in the air is nauseating.
秘密を一個隠しましょう	himitsu o ikko kakushimashou	Let’s hide that one secret.
大人みたいでどき、どき	otona mitai de doki, doki	It’s like we’re adults, ba-thump, ba-thump.
秘密を一個隠しましょう	himitsu o ikko kakushimashou	Let’s hide that one secret.
吐き気がする思惑の空気	hakike ga suru omowaku no kuuki	The judgment in the air is nauseating.
よおくよおくご覧なさい	yooku yooku goran nasai	Take a good, long look;
ぽつぽつ零す水	potsupotsu kobosu mizu	dripping water flows.
よおくよおくご覧なさい	yooku yooku goran nasai	Take a good, long look…
あ~あ 貴女たちのせい	a~a anatatachi no sei	Aah, you’re all to blame.
あ~あ 貴女たちのせい	a~a anatatachi no sei	Aah, you’re all to blame.
嫌が棲家な貴様々	iya ga sumika na kisamazama	All you bitches dwelling in hate –
■も顔負け	■ mo kaomake	You f■cks have NOTHING
花蟷螂(フラワーカマキリ)ね	furawaa kamakiri ne	on the flower mantis!
私大人になるの	watashi otona ni naru no	I’m becoming an adult,
御免なさいね	gomennasai ne	I'm sorry.
明日には此処を去るの	asu ni wa koko o saru no	Tomorrow I’ll leave this place
あまねく嘘よ	amaneku uso yo	swarming with lies.
楽園なんて無いの	rakuen nante nai no	There’s no such thing as paradise,
御免なさいね	gomennasai ne	I’m sorry.
何処で間違えたんでしょう	doko de machigaeta ndeshou	I made a mistake somewhere, didn't I?
さよなら	sayonara	Goodbye.
