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・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 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

Trivia

Lyrics

• The sentence at the beginning is これすなわち地獄なり (kore sunawachi jigoku nari).
• 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".
• In the MACABRE (2000) band score's sheet lyrics, the entire last verse is missing.
  • Furthermore, the kanji 礼 (rei) is said to be read as らい (rai). However, らい (rai) is not a valid reading of the kanji.
