English Translation

The swarm swarm of mass, the bluff image, inhumanness,
just like something not of this world

The clear mind free of preconception and the 
“pa-pa-ra-pa” hollow headed humans

Expectations, unequal life without any talent, mahayana no messiah

Lacking persona, friend or foe, 
tracing my mind without any place I can call my home

So don’t be crying in between the nightmares,
knowing how I should look and what I have to do
So I’ll continue to do all I can

Battle the darkness, Battle the darkness,
when the veil of midnight falls that the sign
Eye-to-eye, spinning circle line, 
spit out all of the non sense and let it go

So don’t stop me yet, So don’t stop me yet
No matter how clever I become what is born in this city will never change
All I can do is to imagine some day this cursed life will come to an end
Running and falling down, embracing pains that don’t heal
The world is waiting for the moment to come

Ah tender emotions creating a bug
Consequences just for obeying the boss
Fragile thoughts risking my life, choking
Not a single word spoken

Oathless night spirits parade like puppets
Until the last one of this brigade bucket
Forget RIP and face reality, fight to stay alive in this nightmare

Inner weakness without a prayer
Dunno how I should look up to and and face you
So I'll continue to do all I can

Believe in Gojo, Release your mojo
Uncertain voices are weaving deep inside
Compensate, feelings circulate

Beyond the spiral you can reach for the helping hand
Just moving forward, Just moving forward
Pursuing the wish to be stronger than anyone, even your destiny falls
into the shadows, the pitch-black bottom of the night
Deep inside this endless maze

Do you see me in a mess?
Pathetic as it is more or less
Just like a corpse without a soul inside
Sick of wanting to be anyone

Everything that’s before my eyes, I won’t run away anymore now
Imagine over and over a vision that
Goes a step beyond

Battle the darkness, Battle the darkness,
when the veil of midnight falls that the sign
Eye-to-eye, spinning circle line,
spit out all of the non sense and let it go

So don’t stop me yet, So don’t stop me yet
No matter how clever I become what is born in this city will never change
All I can do is to imagine some day this cursed life will come to an end
Running and falling down, embracing pains that don’t heal
The world is waiting for the moment to come
