Lyrics

tetsu no tama ga seigi no shoumei
tsuranukeba eiyuu ni chikazuita
sono me wo tojite furete mireba
onaji katachi onaji taion no akuma

boku wa dame de aitsu wa ii no?
soko ni kabe ga atta dake na no ni
umarete shimatta sadame nageku na
bokura wa minna jiyuu nan dakara

tori no you ni hane ga areba
doko e datte yukeru kedo
kaeru basho ga nakereba
kitto doko e mo yukenai

tadatada ikiru no wa iya da

sekai wa zankoku da sore demo kimi wo aisu yo
nani wo gisei ni shite mo sore demo kimi wo mamoru yo
machigai da to shite mo utagattari shinai
tadashisa to wa jibun no koto tsuyoku shinjiru koto da

tetsu no ame ga furi chiru joukei
terebi no naka eiga ni mietan da
sensou nante oroka na kyoubou
kankei nai shiranai kuni no hanashi
sore nara nande aitsu nikunde
kuroi kimochi kakushi kirenai wake
setsumei datte deki ya shinain da
bokura wa nante mujun bakka nan da

kono kotoba mo yakusarereba
hontou no imi wa tsutawaranai
shinjiru no wa sono me wo hiraite
fureta sekai dake

tadatada ikiru no wa iya da

sekai wa zankoku da sore demo kimi wo aisu yo
nani wo gisei ni shite mo sore demo kimi wo mamoru yo
eranda hito no kage suteta mono no shikabane
kizuitan da jibun no naka sodatsu no wa akuma no ko
seigi no ura gisei no naka kokoro ni wa akuma no ko

English Translation

An iron bullet is proof of justice.
Whenever I shot I became closer to the hero.
If you close your eyes and touch it,
The evil who has the same body and the same temperature. 

Am I not good enough and is he better for you?
There was just a wall.
Don’t cry about the destiny we were born with.
Cause we are all free.

If we have wings like birds,
We could go anywhere.
If we don’t have a place to return to,
We might not be able to go anywhere.

I don’t want to just live. 

This world is cruel but I still love you.
Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.
Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it.
What is right is believing in myself strongly.
 
The scene of the rain of iron falling.
It was on the TV, which looks like a movie.
War is a stupid violence.
It’s the story of an unrelated and unknown country.

Then why do I hate him,
The reason why I can’t hide my dark feelings,
I can’t even explain why.
How come we are full of contradictions?

Once this word is translated,
The real meaning won’t be understood.
What I believe is, when opening your eyes,
Only the world you touch.

I don’t want to just live.

This world is cruel but I still love you.
Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.
The shadow of the person whom I chose, the corpse of what I threw.
I noticed that what is growing inside me is the child of evil.
Behind justice, inside of sacrifice, there is a child of evil inside my heart.
