骨を砕き肉は躍る

Bones are crushed, flesh dances

What blood will boil next?

胸騒ぎに肌は泡立ち

With a restless heart, my skin bubbles

さあさ腕がなります

Come now, my arms are ready

（犬姫）叶わぬ夢は

(Inuhime) Unattainable dreams are

（犬姫）ただの幻

(Inuhime) Just an illusion

（犬姫）果ては野晒し上等

(Inuhime) The end is exposed to the wild

いまや今から

Now, from this moment

さぁこっからここまで全部頂戴

Now, from here to there, I take it all

地獄から天を舐め上げ到来

Arriving from hell, licking the heavens

飢えても慕っても

Whether hungry or longing

絡めば苦しゅうない

If we intertwine, there's no suffering

春冬構わず各区外

Regardless of spring or winter, each district outside

身を棄てるなら

If I abandon myself

浮かぶ背の先

The tip of my floating back

焼け野が原に降り立ち

Landing on a burnt wasteland

身を窶し 心貪る 激しさよ

With a withered body, my heart craves, oh the intensity

溢るる血 唾 薄紅の縁

Overflowing blood, saliva, a pale pink edge

攫われて 我が満ち潮に海を聴く

Snatched away, I listen to the sea with my tide

飢えたる御霊や 呑み干す 荒波

The hungry spirits drink in the rough waves

...

序破急顛末 阿修羅の如く

Beginning, development, climax, conclusion, like Ashura

Let's meet in hell
