[English]

Here comes the fearless one again

If you're confident in your arms, come fight

If you're going to turn back, now's the time

For ordinary folks, it's a dead end ahead

The damp air clings around

Survival of the fittest is the way here

Your weapons are words and courage

What awaits are the bloodthirsty residents

A wizard trying to block your way

The hinges of trembling knees

The stairs aren't too far away

Even if you try to rally yourself, it's pretty tough

The remaining herbs are few

Boiling them to wash the wounds

Moving forward again, as the devil beckons

Freestyle dungeon, brace yourself

Even if you fight and show your victory

In this dungeon, the end is nowhere in sight

Even if you lose and cry

Is it his grudge? Freestyle dungeon

Even if you fight and show your victory

In this dungeon, the end is nowhere in sight

If you want to somehow escape

keep ya head up, keep ya head up

Monsters, monsters, monsters

The victor stands over the corpses

The number of wounds rises in level

Someone said, "This place is cursed"

Yesterday's friend is today's enemy

Getting backstabbed would be a shame

Here we introduce ourselves with code names

This is a war of the mind and spirit

Countless nights

Passed through to reach the boss

“This is it!” I will destroy

Dropping the ultimate line right between the eyes

The gruesome body that fell from the knees

Treasures of gold and silver nearby

“Did you see that? I am the champion”

With envy and jealousy at his back, the man stands

And finally, with great effort, he climbs the stairs

Looking up, there it is

A dungeon even wider spreads out

Even stronger monsters are born

Even sharpened weapons won't work

A corpse beckoning me to come closer

Going is hell, returning is hell

Still, are you rushing to live?

Even if you fight and show your victory

In this dungeon, the end is nowhere in sight

Even if you lose and cry

Is it his grudge? Freestyle dungeon

Even if you fight and show your victory

In this dungeon, the end is nowhere in sight

If you want to somehow escape

keep ya head up, keep ya head up

...

[Japanese]

また怖いもの知らずがやってきた

腕に自信があれば戦ってきな

引き返すなら今のうち

凡人にはこの先袋小路

まとわりつく湿った空気

弱肉強食がここの流儀

君の武器は言葉と勇気

迎えるのは血に飢えた住人

通すまいとする魔法使い

震える膝の蝶番

階段も遠くないと

奮い立たせてみても相当辛い

残り少なくなった薬草

煎じて傷口を洗うと

また進む 悪魔が誘う様

フリースタイルダンジョンいざ覚悟

戦って勝ってみせたって

終わりなんて見えやしないダンジョン

もしかして負けて泣いたって

奴の怨念か？フリースタイルダンジョン

戦って勝ってみせたって

終わりなんて見えやしないダンジョン

どうにかして抜け出したいなら

keep ya head up, keep ya head up

モンスターからモンスターからモンスター

亡骸の上に立つ勝者

生傷の数上がるレベル

誰か言ったな「ここは呪われてる」

昨日の友も今日の敵

寝首かかれて終わっちゃしょうもない

ここで名乗るのは互いにコードネーム

これはアタマとココロの消耗戦

数え切れぬほどの夜を

潜りぬけて届くボス

「ここまでだ！」おれが滅ぼす

必殺のライン眉間に落とす

膝から落ちた惨死体の

傍にある金銀財宝

「見たか、俺こそが王者だ」

羨望と嫉妬を背に男は立つ

そしてやっとの思い階段を上り

目線を上に上げたそこに

広がるのは更に広いダンジョン

更に強いモンスターが誕生

磨いた武器も通じない

こっち来いと手招きする死骸

行くも地獄戻るも地獄

それでも君も生き急ぐ？

戦って勝ってみせたって

終わりなんて見えやしないダンジョン

もしかして負けて泣いたって

奴の怨念か？フリースタイルダンジョン

戦って勝ってみせたって

終わりなんて見えやしないダンジョン

どうにかして抜け出したいなら

keep ya head up, keep ya head up
