English
Within the spreading darkness,

we exchanged vows of revolution

An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved

Because I can’t let anyone interfere

With everything that’ll come about from now on

The future that the fruit

told me of

The city that has forgotten reasoning

The present is distorted black

Dreams, turn into ideals

Why? Am I a broken Messiah?

Everyone wished for a “finale”…

Within the spreading darkness,

we exchanged vows of revolution

An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved

I can’t let anyone interfere

With everything that’ll come about from now on

Someday, I’ll show you a shining sky

Why? Am I a broken Messiah?

Everyone dreamed of a “paradise”…

Within the spreading

darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution

An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved

I can’t let anyone interfere

With everything that’ll come about from now on

Someday, I’ll show you a shining world

広がる闇の中　交わし合った　革命の契り

愛した故に芽生えた悪の花

これから先訪れるであろう全てを

誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかないから

果実が告げた未来

理性を忘れた街

黒く歪んだ現在を

夢、理想に変え

どうして？　僕は壊れた救世主？

誰もが望んだ「終幕」を…

広がる闇の中　交わし合った　革命の契り

愛した故に芽生えた悪の花

これから先訪れるであろう全てを

誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない

いつか僕が見せてあげる　光り輝く空を

どうして？　僕は壊れた救世主？

誰もが夢みた「楽園」を…

広がる闇の中　交わし合った　革命の契り

愛した故に芽生えた悪の花

これから先訪れるであろう全てを

誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない

いつか僕が見せてあげる　光り輝く空を
