[English]

Without saying anything, become white

Let's live freely and show our strength

I shed both black and darkness

I'm already tired of it

Please, one last chance

I wanna be white white now

With a pure white and a pure voice

Let's paint over to the world that should be

Aim for white, aim for white

Oh moment of evolution

I wanna be the white white light

...

Become pure blood and flesh

Let's devour all the suffering

The chain of dependency is the rule of living beings

Now, let's guide each other

Go love to love

I believe in white white now

With a pure heart and a pure body

It should shine, it should be breakable

Return to white, return to white

Oh moment of evolution

I wanna be the white white light

...

I wanna be the white, oh yeah

I wanna be the white, oh yeah

...

There is no right answer, there is no wrong

Let's paint over to the world that should be

Dirty the white, dirty the white

Never tainted

I wanna be a white white light

...

[Japanese]

何も言わず 白になれ

変幻自在で 生き抜いてみせましょう

黒も闇も 脱ぎ捨てた

もう 飽き飽きしてんだ

Please, one last chance

I wanna be white white now

露な白で 露な声で

塗り替えてゆけ 在るべき世界へ

白を目指せ 白を目指せ

進化の瞬間（とき）よ

I wanna be the white white light

清い血となって肉となれ

苦しみも全部 食べ尽くしてみせましょう

依存しあう連鎖が生き物のルール

さぁ、導きあうのよ

Go love to love

I believe in white white now

露な心 露な身体 （からだ）

輝くはずさ 壊せるはずさ

白に戻れ 白に戻れ

進化の瞬間（とき）よ

I wanna be the white white light

I wanna be the white, oh yeah

I wanna be the white, oh yeah

正解なんてない 間違いなんてない

塗り替えてゆけ 在るべき世界へ

白を汚せ 白を汚せ

決して穢れない

I wanna be a white white light
