[English]

I howl

Even covered in blood and mud, I’ll protect you

On this revolutionary journey—I’m crazy for you

Found in a world soaked in darkness

A sentimental love

Your sweet, lingering gaze

Your strange allure is such a problem

I want to muster the courage to hold your hand

If I knew my place, I couldn’t do this

The walls of a pitch-black tunnel

Secrets trickling down

My heart races quietly

No, no…

Wait, wait…

I want to cling to curses and sickness

Maybe it’s fine to go wild right here

Ah, I howl

Even covered in blood and mud, I’ll protect you

On this revolutionary journey—I’m crazy for you

Found in a world soaked in darkness

A sentimental love

I’ll stay by your side, no matter how I look

Even your awkward self—I’ll keep hoping

Clinging to a flame about to fade

Can I edge closer with love’s claws bared?

Surrendering, letting you hold me

I’d lose everything for this

My heart races quietly

No, no…

Wait, wait…

With you, even curses and sickness

Maybe it’s fine to go wild right here

Ah, I could cry

I won’t let go until words fail me

On this revolutionary journey—I’m crazy for you

Found in the haze of our wandering trip

A sentimental love

If we charge ahead, we’ll do it together

On this revolutionary journey—obsessed with the dream

No, no…

Wait, wait…

I want to cling to curses and sickness

Maybe it’s fine to go wild right here

Even if scared, I’ll howl

Even covered in blood and mud, I’ll protect you

On this revolutionary journey—I’m crazy for you

Found in a world soaked in darkness

A sentimental love

[Japanese]

唸るぜ

血泥ついたって守りたい

革命道中　だって　君に夢中

暗闇染み込む世界で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋

甘くぬかるんだ眼差し

変に色気あるから困った

手を繋ぐ勇気出したくて

身の程わきまえてちゃ出来ないね

暗いトンネルの壁

したたり落ちる秘密

しめやかに高鳴る心

ダメダメ…

待て待て…

呪いも病も抱きしめたい

ここらで暴れちゃってもいいかな

あぁ唸るぜ

血泥ついたって守りたい

革命道中　だって　君に夢中

暗闇染み込む世界で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋

なりふり構わず側にいたい

不器用な君にも期待しちゃうよ

しがみつけば　消えそうな火に

恋の爪立てて近づいてもいい？

身を任せ　抱かれて

全て失ってもいい

しめやかに高鳴る心

ダメダメ…

待て待て…

呪いも病も君となら

ここらで暴れちゃってもいいかな

あぁ泣けるぜ

絶句しちゃうまで離れない

革命道中　だって　君に夢中

揺蕩う旅の狭間で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋

突き進むなら 二人で

革命道中　だって夢に熱中

ダメダメ…

待て待て…

呪いも病も抱きしめたい

ここらで暴れちゃってもいいよね

怖くたって唸るぜ

血泥ついたって守りたい

革命道中　だって　君に夢中

暗闇染み込む世界で見つけた

センチメンタルな恋
