[English]

Hope is crushed continuously

The road is endless, I can't see the end

My loves ones I can never meet again, their voices haunt me every night

I'm always searching for where I belong

I can't stop until I find it

I'm captivated by what I sacrificed

Feeling like I might lose control

There’s no true freedom

Without love

Without love

Without love

Life is a game, I believe I can handle anything with my own hands

Anything I desire I can obtain

I'm tired of that arrogance

Clinging to strength is all I can do

I've lost true freedom

I wasn't afraid to abandon peace

For this ambition—if only I had divine protection, I could face any storm

Any battle without fear

If I want something, I’m ready to give my life for it

Enslaved by the pleasure of taking, I wonder when I’ll be satisfied

Desire has no end

Loneliness sneaks into the night

Waiting for dawn while trembling

There’s no true freedom

Without love

Without love

Without love

Life is a game, I believe I can handle anything with my own hands

Thinking I can get anything I want is a foolish pride

Clinging to strength is all I can do

I've lost true freedom

What lies beyond this way of life?

Is seeking strength a sign of weakness?

Am I doomed to walk this long journey alone?

No matter how much blood, sweat, and tears I shed

Can I ever truly approach the love of destiny?

Life is a game, I believe I can handle anything with my own hands

Any desire I have I can fulfill

I'm tired of that arrogance

Clinging to strength is all I can do

Clinging to strength is all I can do

Clinging to strength is all I can do

I've lost true freedom

I should have realized long ago

That without love, there’s no real freedom

I had to realize it already

That without love, there’s no true freedom

[Japanese]

絶えず希望は潰える

道は果てしない、終わりすら見えない

もう会えぬ愛する人、その声が毎夜耳から離れない

居るべき場所をずっと探している

見つけ出すまでは歩みを止めることはできない

犠牲にしてきたものに心を奪われ

どうにかなりそうだ

本当の自由などはない

愛がなければ

愛がなければ

愛がなければ

人生はゲームだ、この手でどうとでもなると

望むものは何でも手に入れられると

そんな思い上がりにはもううんざりだ

強さにしがみつくことしかできず

本当の自由を失ったんだ

安らぎを捨てることも厭わなかった

この野心のためなら 神の加護があればどんな荒波も

どんな戦も恐れない

欲しいものを手に入れるなら命を差し出す覚悟もある

奪い取る快楽におぼれ

いつになれば満たされるのか

欲望にきりはない

夜には孤独が忍び寄る

怯えながら夜明けを待つこの身に

本当の自由などはない

愛がなければ

愛がなければ

愛がなければ

人生はゲームだ、この手でどうとでもなると

望むものは何でも手に入れられるとは思い上がりだった

強さにしがみつくことしかできず

本当の自由を失ったんだ

この生き様の先に何がある？

強さを追い求めることは弱さの証なのか

この長い旅路を孤独に歩む定めなのか

どれほどこの血と汗と涙を流そうとも

運命の愛にだけはけして近づけないのか

人生はゲームだ、この手でどうとでもなると

望むものは何でも手に入れられると

そんな思い上がりにはもううんざりだ

強さにしがみつくことしかできず

強さにしがみつくことしかできず

強さにしがみつくことしかできず

本当の自由を失ったんだ

とうに気がつかなければいけなかった

愛がなければ本当の自由などはないと
