Lyrics & Translation

[English]

"Throw away that boring Bible," they say. What if some divine being realized that?

You understand, right? The future for the two of us probably won't be that great.

Everyone starts to feel like they can fly, spreading their wings on skyscraper rooftops.

That brief moment from the ground up is a thrill that suits being in paradise.

Love me until I feel sick, Lucifer.

Love me until the skies split open, Lucifer.

Love me until I feel sick, Lucifer.

Love me until the skies split open, Lucifer.

I'll fan the remaining embers of my smoldering heart with a burst of gasoline.

Always pushing to the very edge, tearing apart the cross in pursuit.

Love me until I feel sick, Lucifer.

Love me until the skies split open, Lucifer.

Love me until I feel sick, Lucifer.

Love me until the skies split open, Lucifer.

This unending pain is the mark of a dream that was cast aside.

Ah, unfulfilled wishes—just break apart and disappear.

[Japanese]

「クダラネェからBible捨ててこい」 なんて神が気づいたらどうなる？

わかるだろう？ 2人のこれからは 多分そんなに良いモンじゃねぇさ

誰も彼もが飛べる気になって ビルの屋上羽根を広げては

地上までのわずかなその時が 至福の瞬間なんて似合いさ

LUCIFER 吐き気がするまで愛してくれ

LUCIFER 天が割れるまで愛してやる

LUCIFER 吐き気がするまで愛してくれ

LUCIFER 天が割れるまで愛してやる

燻(くすぶ)り続けた胸の残り火に 派手にガソリンを与えてやるさ

いつもギリギリギリギリギリギリを 求めて十字を引きちぎる

LUCIFER 吐き気がするまで愛してくれ

LUCIFER 天が割れるまで愛してやる

LUCIFER 吐き気がするまで愛してくれ

LUCIFER 天が割れるまで愛してやる

この消えない痛みは弾かれた夢の跡

嗚呼叶わぬ願いは　いっそ壊れてしまえ
