Lyrics
Japanese Rōmaji Translation

苦痛重ねた日々　固めてアスファルトに　「ウ メ テ」
毒の花が咲き乱れて　十字を斬り祈れば

平和主義者の白いMASK　この手に取って　「コ ワ セ」
右へ習え　縛られた廢人達　　　　　　　　　「ゾロゾロ」
ムチで打たれる毎日なら　首生掴み　　　　　　「　　　　」
破壊主義者の黒いMASK　この手に取って　　「カ ブ レ」

Sweet life　Mad life　Last life　Brain crash

右目　左目　右手　左手　右足　左足　　　　「ク　　　ビ」
骨　汗　涙　血液　呼吸　神経　脳も　　　　「ズタズタ」
麻痺するまで飲まし続け　ヒルを飲ませて　　「　　　　」
夢を断ち切られて生きてく独裁主義に　　　　「ク ル エ」

羽を広げてみようアルミの羽
鬼の居ぬ間に地面に早く落ちよう
羽を広げてみよう崩れゆく夢
叶わぬ夢　地面に早く散りばめ

Kutsū kasaneta hibi　Katamete asufaruto ni　　　"U me te"
Doku no hana ga saki midarete　Jūji o kiri inoreba

Heiwashugisha no shiroi MASK　Kono te ni totte　　"Ko wa se"
Migi e narae　Shibarareta haijin-tachi　　　　　　　　　"Zorozoro"
Muchi de utareru mainichi nara　Kubi nama tsukami　"　　　　"
Hakaishugisha no kuroi MASK　Kono te ni totte　　"Ka bu re"

Sweet life　Mad life　Last life　Brain crash

Migi me　Hidari me　Migi te　Hidari te　Migi ashi　Hidari ashi　　　　"Ku　　　bi"
Hone　Ase　Namida　Ketsueki　Kokyū　Shinkei　Nō mo　　　"Zutazuta"
Mahi suru made nomashi tsuzuke　Hiru o nomasete　　"　　　　"
Yume o tachikirarete ikiteku dokusai shugi ni　　　"Ku ru e"

Hane o hirogete miyou arumi no hane
Oni no inu ma ni jimen ni hayaku ochiyou
Hane o hirogete miyou kuzure yuku yume
Kanawanu yume　Jimen ni hayaku chiribame

Put together the days of pain in asphalt. "bury"
If you pray by crossing yourself, the asphalt will be filled with poisonous flowers.

Take a white mask for a pacifist in your hand. "break"
Following the person in front, the insane people are marching. "one after another"
If you are whipped every day, grab your neck. "……"
Take a black mask for a destroyer in your hand. "take"

Sweet life Mad life Last life Brain crash

Right eye, left eye, right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg, "neck"
Bone, sweat, tears, blood, breathing, nerves and brains are "wrecked'"
Keep them drinking until they feel numb, have them swallow leeches. "……"
You have to live even if dictators steal your dream away. "go insane"

Spread my wings, aluminum wings.
Fall to the ground while the demon is away.
Spread your wings, the dream is collapsing.
The dream will never come true, spread it out on the ground quickly.
