[English]

The instant you step in, the stench fills the air

amateurs, just stay and observe

Watch out for shadows at the center of the floor

Monster that feeds on rotten flesh, Born to Win

Fierce warriors from head to tail

The taste of victory makes them reign supreme

Losers are doomed to be displayed with a noose around their necks

Oops, mere skills won’t scare me anymore

Counter-drafting from the devil himself

If you’re ready to risk death, it’s actually easier to go out peacefully

A level beyond what kids can imagine

Because from here on, it’s rated R

Tread carefully, keep going

Ahead lies uncharted territory

Top of the top

Once your resolve is set, face it head-on

Welcome to the dungeon

Someone’s dream is shattered again

In one night, everyone can become a hero

But if you let your guard down, you’ll fall into a sea of fire

Welcome to the dungeon

Passing through are regiments of ghosts

Join their ranks, will you see the light or stay in the shadows?

Now, the one holding the key is you over there

If it’s just a one-time thing, choose your own way to die

Start fresh, show your true fighting spirit

Results matter more than the time taken, life-or-death fights

Whether you hit zero or make a giant leap forward

If you see an opportunity, grab it

Or else, get countered and pay double

The risk of injury is intense but unforgettable, the thrill of the edge repeats again

The path is tough, just like Calrito

A pounding heart doubled with tension, recite the Hannya Sutra if you give in

Pierce through hope with your left chamber

Are you still alive and proud now?

Look, a zebra coming to settle the score

Win or cry, hunger or give up

Do you also harbor impossible ambitions?

Tread carefully, keep going

Ahead lies uncharted territory

Top of the top

Once your resolve is set, face it head-on

Welcome to the dungeon

Someone’s dream is shattered again

In one night, everyone can become a hero

But if you let your guard down, you’ll fall into a sea of fire

Welcome to the dungeon

Passing through are regiments of ghosts

Join their ranks, will you see the light or stay in the shadows?

Now, the one holding the key is you over there

[Japanese]

足を踏み入れた途端に漂う臭気

素人はしときな様子見

フロアの中心　影に要注意

死肉を喰らうモンスターはBorn2Win

ドタマからケツまで猛者だらけ

勝利の味が奴等をのさばらせる

敗者は晒し首になるのが定め

おっとスキルだけじゃ恐さがねぇ

悪魔の奴から逆指名

玉砕覚悟ならむしろ楽に死ねる

お子様には目を疑う次元

だってこの先はR指定

慎重にKeep Going

この先は未開拓の新境地

TOPの中のTOP

覚悟決まったらいざ尋常に

Welcome to the dungeon

また破れ去る誰かの夢

一夜で誰もがヒーローに

でも気を抜けば落とされる火の海

Welcome to the dungeon

行き交うのは亡霊の群れ

奴等の仲間入りか　日の目見るか

さぁ鍵を握るのはそこのキミだ

どうせ一度キリなら自分で選べ死に方

一から拓いて見せる漢の生き様

経過より結果　命かけた喧嘩

ゼロになるかでっかくステップアップの目が出るか

チャンスが見えりゃ食らいつけ

さもなくばカウンター喰らって倍付け

傷つくリスクがキツく焼きつく ギリギリのスリルがまた再プレス

道は険しいぞ　まるでカリート

緊張で倍速の心臓　観念したなら唱えな般若心経

希望と共に貫く左心房

この期に及んでイキがるか

ほら白黒付けに来たシマウマ

勝つか泣くか食いさがるか

叶わぬ野望を君も抱くか？

慎重にKeep Going

この先は未開拓の新境地

TOPの中のTOP

覚悟決まったらいざ尋常に

Welcome to the dungeon

また破れ去る誰かの夢

一夜で誰もがヒーローに

でも気を抜けば落とされる火の海

Welcome to the dungeon

行き交うのは亡霊の群れ

奴等の仲間入りか　日の目見るか

さぁ鍵を握るのはそこのキミだ
