Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
解けてしまう意図を見つめ…文字に出来ない左手です 血を流す度に生きてる理由…見い出す言葉が鮮やかで 手の中には愛すべき人さえも華々しく散って 手の中には生きた意味刻んでも虚しき華と知る the final 一つ二つと増え続ける…何故に笑えない餌となる? 深き獄の心決して戻れはしない 明日を触れられない自虐的敗北者 Suicide is the proof of life 手の中には愛すべき人さえも華々しく散って 手の中には生きた意味刻んでも虚しき華と散る So I can't live そう無くしたモノはもう産まれない 生きてる証さえ求められない歌 Let's put an end…the final 未遂の蕾咲かせよう…………………..	Hodokete shimau ito o mitsume…moji ni dekinai hidari te desu Chi o nagasu tabi ni ikiteru wake…miidasu kotoba ga azayakade Te no naka ni wa aisubeki hito sae mo hanabanashiku chitte Te no naka ni wa ikita imi kizande mo munashiki hana to shiru the final Hitotsu futatsu to fuetsuzukeru…naze ni waraenai esa to naru? Fukaki goku no shin kesshite modore wa shinai Asu o furerarenai jigyakuteki haibokusha Suicide is the proof of life Te no naka ni wa aisubeki hito sae mo hanabanashiku chitte Te no naka ni wa ikita imi kizande mo munashiki hana to chiru So I can't live Sō naku shita mono wa mō umarenai Ikiteru akashi sae motomerarenai uta Let's put an end…the final Misui no tsubomi sakaseyō…………………..	The intention is clear, I stare…. with this left hand, unable to be worded Every time I bleed, there lies the reason to live…. And I discover words being so vivid and bright Even loved ones scatter like petals from flowers in my hand So even if I engraved the meaning that I lived in my hand, it will only be known as flowers of vanity the final One by one it multiplies…. why be a sad bait? Deep within the hell of my heart…. I can't go back A self-torture loser, not being able to see tomorrow Suicide is the proof of life Even loved ones scatter like petals from　flowers in my hand So even if I engraved the meaning that I lived in my hand, the petals will just scatter as flowers of vanity So I can't live What's lost can't be born again A song that's not even seeking the proof of living Let's put an end…. the final Let's bloom flowers of attempted suicide………………….
These lyrics were translated by Emi Yamada.

Trivia

Title

• Although the title of this song is written as "THE FINAL", it's actually read as "FINAL", omitting the "THE".

Lyrics

• In the single's booklet, the words "the final" are written as "The Final" and the dots at the end of the last line are presented as a black slit.
• Although Kyo audibly sings 明日を触れられない (Asu o furerarenai), the lyrics in the single's and the album's booklet, the Withering to death. band score and the band score's sheet lyrics all say 明日を触れない (Asu o furenai). This was later corrected for the song's remake.
