Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji
Where's the fortunate future? Where does our fortunate future come? dick men fuck off　fuck off and wipe [Get back my merrily memory] under the sun 嘲笑うかの様に白日の下　曝け出したのどかに流れる赤の川 死骸で作った山道をお前たちは笑い歩いている また手をかけ延ばしそして百合の花に蛾が群がる under the sun 何一つも救えない人達には両手の中　灰と涙と寡黙を… 残酷なまでに交うは月と太陽　明日さえも眼を塞いだ　赤日に問うは寡黙と…「　」	Where's the fortunate future? Where does our fortunate future come? dick men fuck off　fuck off and wipe [Get back my merrily memory] under the sun Seserawarau ka no yō ni hakujitsu no moto　Sarakedashita nodoka ni nagareru seki no kawa Shigai de tsukutta sandō o omae-tachi wa warai aruiteiru Mata te o kake nobashi soshite yuri no hana ni ari ga muragaru under the sun Nani hitotsu mo sukuenai hito-tachi ni wa ryōte no naka　Hai to namida to kamoku o… Zankoku na made ni kau wa tsuki to taiyō　Ashita sae mo me o fusaida sekijitsu ni tō wa kamoku to…"　"

Translation on Withering to death.	Translation on 「我葬の詩」下巻
Where's the fortunate future? Where does our fortunate future come? dick men fuck off　fuck off and wipe [Get back my merrily memory] under the sun To be revealed as if you were to be ridiculed, the disclosure of the flow of the red river You walk the mountain road made of corpses smiling Again you reach out and ants gather around the lily under the sun People that can't redeem have ash, tears, and taciturnity in both their hands… Whats Cruel is that the Sun and the Moon comes together Even tomorrow looks away On the Red Day you question taciturnity and…「　」	Where's the fortunate future? Where does our fortunate future come? dick men fuck off　fuck off and wipe [Get back my merrily memory] under the sun As if to be ridiculed in broad daylight, to reveal the gentle flow of the red river You smile and walk the mountain road made of corpses Again, you reach out your hands and ants gather around the lily under the sun People that can't save a single thing, in both their hands is ash, tears and reticence… The Moon and the Sun cruelly meets Even tomorrow looked away I question reticence and…「　」on the Red Day
These lyrics were translated by Emi Yamada on Withering to death. and by Jewels on 「我葬の詩」下巻.
