[English]

Even fate itself—god's destiny

Unfurl the rebellious flag—gang-star

Fear, that emotion—

Wipe it out with rage

Turning against the devil—

Since the day I made my vow

Is retaliation the end?

Begging for the future

Abandon your way of life—

Face the challenge, Stay Gold

That's right, eye for an eye—

To the traitors—

It’s a requiem

Woah

Despair beckons—

Stand up to the world

Don't care, I don't need mercy—

When my body falls apart

Even prayers fade away—

Hell no!

The birth of Golden Wind

Nothing to lose

Soul ignited—

Even the way back is gone

Burned it all down

In the false calm of control

Still drowning—

Rather than wasting time—

Start a revolution

Proud and high—

To the traitors—

It’s a requiem

Woah

Anger pounding in my chest—

My heartbeat screams out

Don't care, heading for the truth—

Those who gained something—

Are they the real winners?

Hell no!

Judging is the Golden Wind

Despair beckons—

Stand up to the world

Don't care, I don't need mercy—

When my body falls apart

Even prayers fade away—

Hell no!

The birth of Golden Wind
