Japanese	Romaji	English
「愛」夢に堕とした一滴の	"ai" yume ni otoshita itteki no	“Love”^[1]—into my dreams, I let a drop of that
「憎」思い出せ無い幼少心	"zou" omoidasenai youshoushin	“Hatred” fall; I can’t recall the feelings from my youth
「情」故に裏が見え見えで	"jou" yue ni ura ga mie mie de	“Empathy” makes hidden intentions obvious and causes
「妄」さっぱり辻褄合わない	"bou" sappari tsujitsuma awanai	“Delusion”—nothing makes any sense at all anymore

零時　何時も定刻　矛先向けられてた	reiji itsumo teikoku hokosaki mukerareteta	At exactly midnight, I used to always be the aim of the attack
幽玄　御伽噺になれ　顔に腕に憑いた血痕	yuugen otogibanashi ni nare kao ni ude ni tsuita kekkon	Please make the bloodstains on my face and arm a delicate fairy tale

切り裂け無い　白い素肌を　黒い髪を	kirisake nai shiroi suhada o kuroi kami o	The words of my obedient honne protect^[2]
独りきりで守る　従順な本音の言ノ葉	hitorikiri de mamoru juujun na honne no kotonoha	my white skin and black hair that I can’t bring myself to cut
“愛”に愛が在るなら　信じたくて	“ai” ni ai ga aru nara shinjitakute	If there is love in “Love,” I want to believe in it
人間(ひと)を街を空を　焦げ付いて仕舞う程　睨んだ	hito o machi o sora o kogetsuite shimau hodo niranda	I glared at the people, city, and the sky as if to leave burns on them
哀しい程赤い眼をして	kanashii hodo akai me o shite	with eyes so sadly red

そう　何時も冷静　泣き声　堪えてきた	sou itsumo reisei nakigoe koraete kita	Yes, I’ve always stayed calm and endured my sobs,
安定　壁の向こう側の　風が頬を撫でてくれるから	antei kabe no mukou gawa no kaze ga hoho o nadete kureru kara	because the wind from the other side of the wall would always wipe my cheeks for me

邪魔されない　限りない雨　濡れる睫毛	jama sarenai kagiri nai ame nureru matsuge	I won’t be bothered here in the endless rain soaking my eyelashes
誰に縋る訳も無くて　張り巡らされた刺	dare ni sugaru wake mo nakute hari megurasareta toge	I couldn’t seek help from anyone, so I surrounded myself with barbs
“愛”に愛が在るなら　信じたくて	“ai” ni ai ga aru nara shinjitakute	If there is love in “Love,” I want to believe in it
人間(ひと)を街を空を　焦げ付いて仕舞う程　睨んだ	hito o machi o sora o kogetsuite shimau hodo niranda	I glared at the people, city, and the sky as if to leave burns on them
哀しい程　赤い眼をして	kanashii hodo akai me o shite	with eyes so sadly red

赤い眼をして	akai me o shite	So sadly red
