[English]

I'm not a fan of puppeteers,

But I've a nagging fear,

Someone else is pulling at the strings.

Something terrible is going down,

Through the entire town,

Wreaking anarchy and all it brings!

I can't sit idly,

No I can't move at all!

I curse the name,

The one behind it all!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon,

And sleeping in the middle

Of a summer afternoon!

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone

For taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it any more,

So take your tyranny away!

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

I'm fine with changing status quo,

But not in letting go,

Now the world is being torn apart!

A terrible catastrophe,

Played by a symphony,

What a terrifying work of art!

I can't sit idly,

No, I can't move at all!

I curse the name,

The one behind it all!

Discord, I'm howling at the moon,

And sleeping in the middle

Of a summer afternoon!

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone

For taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it any more,

So take your tyranny away!

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Disco-o-o-o-rd

Discord, I'm howling at the moon,

And sleeping in the middle

Of a summer afternoon!

Discord, whatever did we do

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,

Or are we just a stepping stone

For taking back the throne?

Discord, we won't take it any more,

So take your tyranny away!
