Japanese	Rōmaji	Fan-Translation
麝香遠放つ変貌は 朧月夜に映し 乱れ・絡繰・不埒故 千里眼見通せぬ　邪鬼 己遠変えた　修羅の道 百鬼夜行は　蛇乃目 己乃姿　通しては 暗中模索　蛇乃如し 断頭台に架けられし 褻世羅怪良気良笑う 首生掴み民は言う 羅刹国来る 磊塊乃民　命果て 予定調和崩れぬ 己乃命　悍しく 此乃世は修羅乃国 礼・性・乖離・邪鬼 己忘れ修羅と成り全て無と成る	Jakō o hanatsu henbō wa Oborozukiyo ni utsushi Midare・Karakuri・Furachi yue Senrigan mitōsenu　Jaki Onore o kaeta　Shura no michi Hyakkiyakō wa　Ja no me Onore no sugata　Tooshite wa Anchū mosaku　Ja no gotoshi Dantōdai ni kakerareshi Kesera kera kera warau Kubi nama tsukami tami wa iu Rasetsukoku kitaru Raikai no tami　Inochihate Yotei chō wakuzurenu Onore no inochi　Ozomashiku Kono yo wa shura no kuni Rei・Saga・Kairi・Jaki Onore wasure shura to nari subete mu to naru	The transformation that gives off a scent of musk Is reflected in the misty moonlit night Disorder・Trickery・Due to lawlessness The clairvoyant can't see the demon The path of Asura has changed me In a double ring pattern the nightly procession of demons occurs My figure spreads throughout Roaming through the night like a snake I get put on the guillotine Filthy and wickedly they laugh The people holding my severed head say The land of Rakshasa will arrive The discontent people are at the end of their lives Without breaking down the pre-established harmony They treat my life as repulsive The world of the living the land of Asura Manners・Nature・Deviation・Demon I forget myself and become Asura and everything turns into nothingness

Trivia

Lyrics

• Although the lyrics to this song were not included in the booklet of DUM SPIRO SPERO (2011), a picture of the lyrics was posted on Dir En Grey's special website for the album.
  • The lyrics were later included in the booklet of VESTIGE OF SCRATCHES (2018).
• 褻世羅怪良気良 (Kesera kera kera) is an ateji, a case of kanji that are used as phonetic symbols instead of for the meaning. In this case, the meaning is supposed to be a cackling, mocking laughter. It could also be a pun on ケセラセラ (kesera sera), which means "que sera, sera".
