Those who refuse to give up, no matter how tough, your group can't beat me
Oh no, oh no, oh no, can't even notice, quick as lightning, hey
Won’t go down, won’t be silenced, won’t back down, pushing through with stubbornness, hey
Get out of the way, you're blocking me. I am another version of you
Sad-chan, Kaya-chan, overflowing—Yomi's world, wonderland, hey
During the prayer, around 4:44, somehow
The god in four shaku, four sun, four bu, bang around, hey
If you heard that voice calling, it’s literally a sign you’ve been possessed...
High level, high level, high level, high level, high level
Struggling desperately, the fog clears up ahead
When the forehead and stomach work well together
When the pain overlaps
Heart, body, mind
Running high, somehow
If wings had grown on my back right now
Goodbye to the darkness, yeah
Taking off into the distance, yeah
Heart, body, mind
Nostalgic warmth
If flowers bloom at my feet right now
Goodbye to the darkness, yeah
Taking off into the distance (whoo)
Living again, no matter how many times
Within you and me
Behind the eyelids or inside your ears
A melody, rhythm lodged deep in the heart, yeah
Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada Dan
Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada Dan
Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada Dan
Dandada Dan Dandada Dan Dandada
Today, piling up right in the middle of Saisen-gawara, reaching the top (top of top)
Demon and sword fighting, lyrical chainsaw massacre
Crossing the vast ocean, whistling a tune, singin’ sha-la-la (la-la)
If you want to purify yourself, bring the family’s legacy of bills (okay?)
Who opened the forbidden gates? No matter what happens afterward, I don't care, hey (no way)
Waiting for hundreds of years, it's been a long time since the mortal world, hey (whoo)
Kids and fresh leaves, don’t come here yet, idots
We just made eye contact, so this is what it means... Shamalan...
High level, high level, high level, high level, high level
You waited past sleep, didn't you? That's where you were
When the shield and spear embrace each other
When anger disappears
Heart, body, mind
Running high, somehow
If wings had grown on my back right now
Goodbye to the darkness, yeah
Taking off into the distance, yeah
Heart, body, mind
Nostalgic warmth
If flowers bloom at my feet right now
Goodbye to the darkness, yeah
Taking off into the distance (whoo)
Living again, no matter how many times
Within you and me
Behind the eyelids or inside your ears
A melody, rhythm lodged deep in the heart, yeah
