[English]

Hi, are you looking for the other side?

Feel like nothing ever seems quite right?

Are you circling the drainpipe, getting off on pain like

You're corrupted?

I need to know where your loyalties lie

Tell me, are you gonna bark or bite?

Do you really wanna twist the knife in the belly

Of the monster?

Get the fuck up, wake the fuck up

Wipe the system and back the fuck up

You're a puppet, when they cut your strings off

Don't come crawling back

Kingslayer, destroying castles in the sky

Kingslayer, forevermore the apple of my eye

I'd sacrifice my life to find you, angel of the blade

Kingslayer, come and collect us from the night

...

暗い、この見えない世界

まだ消えない未来

ただ手に入れたい another world

System failure

Life is encrypted, you are modified

Like a virus in a lullaby

Artificial till the day you die, silly programme

You're corrupted

Get the fuck up, wake the fuck up

Wipe the system and back the fuck up

You're a puppet, when they cut your strings off

Don't come crawling back, you're on your own

さあ時の扉を開けて行こうよ

Kingslayer, destroying castles in the sky

Kingslayer, I'll fight for you until I die

Kingslayer, destroying castles in the sky

Kingslayer, forevermore the apple of my eye

I'd sacrifice it all to guide you, never have to battle alone

Kingslayer, come and collect us from the night

...

This is your wake up call

We're going down the rabbit hole

Are you ready?

I can't feel you

...

Is this what you want?

This is what you'll fucking get

You motherfucking shit
