Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
Pressing the megaphone against the apostle's open ear Darkness and onanists are in attendance I press a gun against all the spectators' temple now And my face lets out a smile every time Saving It's prostitution to the kids who listen from the right and out the left Twins and seven colors of rainbow It can't be saved, the sorrow I question it all, why oh why? 甘く絡み合う偽り どこも同じ 流れる血が混ざる 深く眠る 罪悪　心に刻み　生きながら死ね 手首に咲く　満開の桜 鴉の　死骸に湧いた　愛らしいお前 残党肌　儚き涙か 慈悲を　国歌で燃やし　死して死を知れ 羊小屋で　腰を振る正義 安らぎの裏に群らがり喰らう肌は何色? 大地は　命を啜り　赤土に変わる 宙を舞った　紙切れと権力 ピッキング　ドタマに開いた　幸福の性器 去勢された　全能なる神	Pressing the megaphone against the apostle's open ear Darkness and onanists are in attendance I press a gun against all the spectators' temple now And my face lets out a smile every time Saving It's prostitution to the kids who listen from the right and out the left Twins and seven colors of rainbow It can't be saved, the sorrow I question it all, why oh why? Amaku karamiau itsuwari Doko mo onaji Nagareru chi ga mazaru Fukaku nemuru Zaiaku　Kokoro ni kizami　Ikinagara shine Tekubi ni saku　Mankai no sakura Karasu no　Shigai ni waita　Airashii omae Zantōhada　Hakanaki namida ka Jihi o　Kokka de moyashi　Shishite shi o shire Hitsujigoya de　Koshi o furu seigi Yasuragi no ura ni muragari kurau hada wa nani iro? Daichi wa　Inochi o susuri　Akatsuchi ni kawaru Chū o matta　Kamikire to kenryoku Pikkingu　Dotama ni hiraita　Kōfuku no seiki Kyoseisareta　Zennō naru kami	Pressing the megaphone against the apostle's open ear Darkness and onanists are in attendance I press a gun against all the spectators' temple now And my face lets out a smile every time Saving It's prostitution to the kids who listen from the right and out the left Twins and seven colors of rainbow It can't be saved, the sorrow I question it all, why oh why? The deception sweetly intertwines It's the same everywhere The flowing of blood mixes I sleep deeply I carve into my heart the sins And I live on dying The sakura blossoms on my wrist Your beloved self breeds on the corpse of the crow For the people on the losing end Is it tears of emptiness? Burn mercy with the National Anthem and understand death by dying Justice humps in the sheep yard What color of skin gathers behind comfort and eats? The earth sucks the life out and turns itself into red soil A piece of paper and power circles around in the air The shot wound to the head of a cow It's wide open The genitals of happiness The neutered almighty god
These lyrics were translated by Jewels.

Trivia

Title

• The working titles of this song were 悟 (Satori) and 悟り (Satori), both referring to the concept of "enlightenment" in Buddhism.

Lyrics

• At the end of lines 16 to 18 and 21 to 23, Kyo sings additional words that aren't included in any published lyrics.
• Although the album booklet comes with an official English translation, the translation above was taken from 「我葬の詩」下巻, as it's the same translation, except for one small change:
  • The line "The deception of sweetly intertwining" was changed to "The deception sweetly intertwines".
