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

己遠忘れ修羅と成り
心持つ者　全て無と成り
此れ既に時遅く
全て崩れたり

Jakō o hanatsu henbō wa
Oborozukiyo ni utsushi
Midare・Karakuri・Furachiyue
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 o wasure shura to nari
Kokoro motsu mono　Subete mu to nari
Kore sude ni toki osoku
Subete kuzuretari

The transformation triggered by the musk
Reflecting on the night of the hazy moon
Displaced・Tricky・Wicked
The cleric's eye can't see, this demon

The road of carnage which changed my self
Lawlessness running rampant is a bull's-eye
Searching the dark through this form, like a snake

I've been put on the executioner's stage
They jeer and laugh wickedly
Holding upon high my severed head, the peasants say
"The kingdom of demons is upon us"

Many peasants died
The hope for peace was destroyed
This life is revolting
This is a world of carnage

Manners・Nature・Estrangement・Demons

I throw away myself, and become the carnage
All the people with hearts, become nothing
Now its too late, everything is destroyed

These lyrics don't have an official translation. The fan-translation was taken from here.
