[English]

The red moon lights up the street

My odd eyes, out of focus

Feelings wrapped around my bloodstained lips

Every night grows colder

A heart that’s lost its warmth

Your cruel lies are killing me

Thanks to you, thanks to you

You bled me dry, but I’m just living up

Thanks to you, thanks to you

Bruised by bitter hatred, oh uh

I’m a zombie

Broken but blooming

Love me, leave me

Memories spreading like poison

This flame dances alone in the darkness

Never dying

I’m a zombie

Ra-Ri-Ra-Ri-Ra-Ri-Ra

Ra-Ri-Ra-Ri-Ra-Ri-Ra

Ra-Ri-Ra-Ri-Ra-Ri-Ra

I’m a zombie

Darkness in my heart

Stumbling through the night

Every day, I wander searching for your trace

Thanks to you, thanks to you

You bled me dry, but I’m just living up

Thanks to you, thanks to you

Bruised by bitter hatred, oh uh

I’m a zombie

Broken but blooming

Love me, leave me

Memories spreading like poison

This flame dances alone in the darkness

Never dying

I’m a zombie

Broken but blooming
