Kanji

 * 乱れし世を
 * 見据えて行くべし
 * 娑婆は闇よ この世界


 * 無残な運命
 * 全てに抗い
 * 真っ直ぐ進め 此処から


 * 絶望さえも糧に生きてゆく
 * そして 生き抜くべし


 * 奏でてみせよう 魂の音
 * 歪んだ魔性を 引き裂いて
 * 凄絶なまでに 鋭き旋律
 * この世の果てまで響きゆけ 遠くへ


 * 悩んで上等
 * されど迷わぬ
 * 決めたが最後 二度とは


 * 黒き欲望
 * 破滅に抗い
 * おのが存亡 賭けてゆく


 * 多くの散った命 無駄にしまい
 * いつか会う時まで


 * 奏でてみせよう 魂の声
 * 時代の暗闇 斬り裂いて
 * 刃より強く 烈しき音色
 * 涅槃の果てまで届きゆけ


 * 明日へ時はそう流れ続ける
 * たった今 あっぱれにただ行くだけ 嗚呼


 * 奏でてみせよう 魂の音
 * 悲しみの破片 この胸に
 * 凄絶なまでに 鋭き旋律
 * この世の果てまで 響きゆけ 遠くへ


 * 奏でてみせよう 魂の声
 * 時代の暗闇 斬り裂いて
 * 刃より強く 烈しき音色
 * 涅槃の果てまで届きゆけ
 * 果てなく 遠くへ

English Translation

 * In this world of chaos
 * I quietly watch and walk
 * within its dark prison


 * I defy everything
 * including the cruel fates
 * and desire with earnest to escape from here


 * Even in this despair, I will live as I please
 * and I shall survive


 * I play for you the sound of my soul
 * Tear apart the distorted evil
 * as the piercing melody reaches its climax
 * Let it ring in this world and beyond


 * Should you fault me, then so be it
 * But, do not find doubt in your judgment
 * Every decision is final with no return


 * Dark desires
 * are ruined by animosity
 * Bet everything on your escape


 * I will not waste the many lives which were scattered
 * until the day we meet again


 * I play for you the voice of my soul
 * Cut through the pitch black darkness of this age
 * with an intense melody stronger than a blade
 * that reaches the borders of Nirvana


 * So it continues as time flows towards tomorrow
 * But for now, I go forth with pride ah


 * I play for you the sound of my soul
 * A fragment of sorrow resides within my chest
 * as the piercing melody reaches its climax
 * Let it ring in this world and beyond


 * I play for you the voice of my soul
 * Cut through the pitch black darkness of this age
 * with an intense melody stronger than a blade
 * that reaches the borders of Nirvana
 * and anywhere beyond without end
