A pixelated world

A pixelated world

Heroes demand rewards

Heroes demand rewards

They can't cut my heart out

They can't take my heart out

With that diamond swords

With those diamond swords

A pixelated world

A pixelated world

Empty space unfurled

Empty space unfolds

The sun is setting now

The sun is setting now

It’s time to light the torch

It's time to light the torch

夜へ向かい -Heading into the night-

Heading into the night

朝にさまよう -Wandering in the morning-

Wandering in the morning

はじまりを歌い -Singing the beginning-

Singing the beginning

孤独のふちで争う -Fighting on the edge of loneliness-

Fighting on the edge of loneliness

Did they buy it with money?

Did they buy it with money?

秘密は地下に -The secret will probably be buried again-

The secret is underground

きっとまた埋めてしまうのでしょう -Buried underground-

They'll probably bury it again

誰も砕けない -No one can crush-

No one can break it

君を守る言葉は -The words that protect you-

The words that protect you

We have to find a way out of here

We have to find a way out of here

Before even our souls are pixelated

Before even our souls become pixelated

A pixelated world

A pixelated world

Heroes demand rewards

Heroes demand rewards

They can't cut my heart out

They can't take my heart out

With that diamond swords

With those diamond swords

A pixelated world

A pixelated world

Empty space unfurled

Empty space unfolds

The sun is setting now

The sun is setting now

It’s time to light the torch

It's time to light the torch

The Expanding World

闊歩する得体の知れない気配 -An unidentifiable presence strolling about-

A strange, unknown feeling strolling around

何を賭けるか -What to bet-

What should I bet on

誰が影武者 -Who is the double-

Who's the double

破けた手札 -The hand of cards that's torn-

The torn-up hand of cards

聞こえる数え歌 -I can hear the counting songs-

I hear counting songs

Let me go

Let me go home
