Lyrics
- 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

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
