Lyrics

Like a bad dream.
samete mo saiaku da Everyday
uketsugi wakerareta Descent
itsu made mamoru?

aa tadashisa shinji uso wo nonou
ikite shinu michi wa fukuzatsu maze
kyoukaisen wa koeta
mou koukai shite mo asu wa nai

What is justice? wakaranakute
kakikeshita Just to be myself.
What is justice? wakaranakute
No pain, no gain. hate made
donna kireigoto taigi meibun mo
Break down itami tomonai tatakau
namida no shini wa dare ni mo
What is justice? wakaranai yo!
Don’t you??

kimagure ni irowake sareteku unmei
nando, yoru ga sugireba
ikiyasui asa wo mukaerareru?

aa kono me wo shinjite damasare LOST
touzen haijo subeki akirame mode (god)
damaccha negai wa todokanai
kurutta toki ni wa teokure

shirokuro warikiree
What is justice? wakaranakute
kakikeshita Just to be myself.
What is justice? wakaranakute
No pain, no gain. hate made
donna kireigoto taigi meibun mo
Break down itami tomonai tatakau
namida no shini wa dare ni mo
What is justice? wakaranai yo!

onore no risou to chikagakute mo
tayasuku yumeyume kataru na yo
dokudoku kodou wo tagirasero
I’ll show them the staggering difference.
Ah

What is justice? wakaranakute
kakikeshita Just to be myself.
What is justice? wakaranakute
(This is not a fairy tale.)
No choice. Break down!!!!
Stick now to my guns, go my own way.

English Translation

Like a bad dream
Even when I wake up, it’s the worst, every day
Inherited and passed down, this descent
How long will I keep protecting it?

Ah, believing in justice, proclaiming lies
To live and die, this path is tangled, a maze
I’ve already crossed the line
Even if I regret it, there’s no tomorrow

What is justice? I don’t know
So I erased it, just to be myself
What is justice? I don’t know
No pain, no gain, I’ll go to the end
No matter how pretty the words, or how noble the cause
Break down, this fight comes with pain
No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears
What is justice? I have no idea!
Don’t you??

Fate, divided by whim and chance
How many nights must pass
Before I greet a morning that’s easy to live in?

Ah, trusted these eyes and ended up LOST
Of course, erase that surrender mod, god
If I stay silent, my wishes won’t reach
When time breaks down, it’s already too late

Draw the line — choose a side
What is justice? I don’t know
So I erased it, just to be myself
What is justice? I don’t know
No pain, no gain, I’ll go to the end
No matter how pretty the words, or how noble the cause
Break down, this fight comes with pain
No one truly knows the meaning behind these tears
What is justice? I have no idea!

Even if it’s not my ideal
Don’t speak of dreams so carelessly
Let your venomous heartbeat boil over
I’ll show them the staggering difference
Ah

What is justice? I don’t know
So I erased it, just to be myself
What is justice? I don’t know
(This is not a fairy tale.)
No choice. Break down!!!!
Stick now to my guns, go my own way
