[English]

The entire star cluster, no one is free from illness

Just trying to see who suffers less

Bacteria continue to spread, suddenly lurking and rising higher

The day whispers softly, with a calm face

The night is unleashed, voicing complaints

Bacteria continue to spread, suddenly lurking and rising higher

No one can escape, no one can escape

Praying, and even God can only spread His hands

No one is an exception, no one is an exception

Indifferent fate toys with his poignant pleasure

Poignant pleasure, poignant pleasure

The entire star cluster, no one is free from illness

Just trying to see who suffers less

Bacteria continue to spread, suddenly lurking and rising higher

No one can escape, no one can escape

Praying, and even God can only spread His hands

No one gets attention, no one gets attention

Begging, and everything is just ignored

No one can hide, no one can hide

Running away, and the world only teaches to be buried alive

No one is an exception, no one is an exception

Indifferent fate toys with his poignant pleasure

Poignant pleasure, poignant pleasure

Come, continue to worship, come, continue to act spoiled, come, continue to sprout more wicked thoughts

Continuing to be deceived, continuing to be betrayed, continuing to prove my existence cheaply

The white dove is stained with black dust, green trees record the blood-red haze

I want to run away, but I can't escape, I want to hope, but there is no hope

I let you expose me, I let you hate me, I let you blame me

...

[Chinese]

整個星群 無人不病

只是要比 誰病得輕

細菌持續蔓延 突然潛伏又越來越高

白日低吟 一臉冷靜

夜晚解禁 放聲詬病

細菌持續蔓延 突然潛伏又越來越高

沒人能離開 沒人能離開

祈禱而上帝也只好兩手攤開

沒人能例外 沒人能例外

冷淡宿命玩弄著他哀艷的痛快

哀艷的痛快 哀艷的痛快

整個星群 無人不病

只是要比 誰病得輕

細菌持續蔓延 突然潛伏又越來越高

沒人能離開 沒人能離開

祈禱而上帝也只好兩手攤開

沒人得到理睬 沒人得到理睬

乞討而所有也只是不理不睬

沒人可能隱埋 沒人可能隱埋

逃跑而世界也只教落得活埋

沒人能例外 沒人能例外

冷淡宿命玩弄著他哀艷的痛快

哀艷的痛快 哀艷的痛快

來繼續崇拜 來繼續耍賴 來繼續萌芽更多的鬼胎

繼續被欺瞞 繼續被出賣 繼續廉價地證明自己所存在

白鴿沾染 黑色塵埃 綠樹記載 血紅陰霾

我想跑開 無法跑開 我想期待 沒有期待

我讓你揭發 我讓你恨 我讓你罪怪我
