Description
"Ladies and gentlemen, how are you all feeling tonight? Deceiving countless people without ever facing judgement, living rich lives in which you feast upon the sweetest honey... Certainly, you are enjoying yourselves tremendously, are you not? I am afraid, however, that this will all end here… To release a certain girl from her regrets and expose the vile truth to this world, I took it upon me to play the part no one else was able to Here and now, allow me to be the one to punish you. To me.. the intricacy of magic tricks and the audacity of murder hold no difference. Indeed, it is all too laughably simple. If this is to be called a sin then someone, please, come and catch me? Tonight, let us bring an end to this Well then, that being said, let us raise our glasses and make this the most exquisite evening. 'I hereby hope you will be pleased by my swan song.'" - Prologue |

kubarareta kikei no kaado | The strangely shaped cards were sent as letters of welcome |
| 幾億のゲーム誘いの夜 | ikuoku no geemu sasoi no yoru | To an inviting night where countless games would be played, |
| 裁かれる事も無く | sabakareru koto mo naku | Addressed to the dregs of humanity |
| 生き |
ikihabakatta jinkai ni atete | Who lived without ever having been judged. |
| 迎える劇情のルーレット | mukaeru gekijou no ruuretto | The roulette wheel greets them in the Theater of Emotion. |
| 天上の |
tenjou no torappu ni kakete | They placed bets on the heavens’ trap, |
| 託された |
takusareta waza de nozomu suteeji | And on the overlooking stage, with the magic entrusted to me, |
| 銀の |
gin no takuto yurashite | I waved the silver baton |
| 握った |
nigitta ao no gurasu | So they’d down toasts |
| 飲み乾すように | nomihosu you ni | From their Prussian blue glasses. |
| 誰にも魅破れない | dare ni mo miyaburenai | No one can wave a wand |
| 制裁のトリック | seisai no torikku | And reveal the truth of the punishing trick. |
| 勝算 一秒 疑う隙無く | shousan ichibyou utagau sukinaku | Here’s my chance! You’ll fall to your death |

| kowaku no JOKER | And you were guided to your doom without even knowing | |
| 知らずに導かれていた | shirazu ni michibikarete ita | By the enchanting Joker. |

fusagareta kikei no keesu | Your case of wiles was blocked. |

giwaku no shichinin toki wa tsukite mo | Even if time is up for your seven suspects, |
| 赦される事など無い | yurusareru koto nado nai | There will be no forgiveness for them. |
| kaikei no bara o hanamuke ni kaete | Transform the rose of defeat into a parting gift. | |
| この |
kono te tejou kakete misete | Just try to slap a pair of cuffs on me. |
| 答え知れず |
kotae shirezu urotaeru kemono | You’re a flustered K9 who doesn’t know the answer. |

| kingu no iki koyoi de tomeru | To stop the ringleader, the "King," tonight. | |
| 解き明かす |
tokiakasu hi machikogarete | I’m burning for a flame to reveal it all. |
| 誰なら見破れるの？ | dare nara miyabureru no? | Who can see through |
| 精細なトリック | seisai na torikku | These precise tricks? |
| 賞賛 裏返したなら闇 | shousan uragaeshita nara yami | If a round of applause is flipped over, it’s lights out. |
| 堕ちて往くのは僕の方かな | ochite yuku no wa boku no hou kana | I wonder if I’ll be the one falling to my death. |

| 夢見る様な |
yumemiru you na endorooru ni | Leave behind your deep crimson tears |
| 深紅の涙遺して | shinku no namida nokoshite | At the end credits which come like a dream. |
| “あの夜、僕はひとつだけミスを犯したらしい” | "ano yoru, boku wa hitotsu dake misu o okoshitarashii" | “I seem to have made one mistake that night.” |
| “何故なら、今こうして生きているのだから……” | "naze nara, ima koushite ikite iru no dakara..." | “That’s the reason why I’m still alive like this...” |
