ところが　キラ　キラ　なんて奴だ まるで救世主　キラ その正体は　ただのガキだ

死神たちは怠惰で　野心も夢もねえ 存在の意味もしらねえ　とにかくつまんねえ！ だから見ものだぜ　人間達が お前の裁きに　右往左往

皆で　キラ　キラ　大騒ぎだ 神か悪魔か　キラ その正体は　お前なのにな

自分が世界を変えたと思うな 教えてやるぜ　変わったのは名前だけだ そうだろ？　キラ　キラ　救世主は お前じゃない！キラ　キラ 人間達が　作り上げた……

English version
The original English title of the song is "Kira".

Where I come from is a world of bone and dust No need to change, or readjust Where the plight of human beings is ignored And all I am, is always bored
 * English lyrics

So from time to time I visit Seeking fun and self defense It's no big deal, really, is it? And of no consequence

Except for Kira, Kira Your brand new name The masses cheering, Kira Don't know it's Light Yagami, playing his dangerous game

Shinigami sit and gamble all day long It isn't right, it isn't wrong For there really isn't very much to do So now and then, we spy on you

Humans are such funny creatures Always thinking you're so smart So we look down from our bleachers While you tear things apart

Except for Kira, Kira Your brand new name The masses cheering, Kira Don’t know he's Light Yagami, playing his dangerous game

The more things change they say That the more they stay the same You think you're making changes But the only thing you can change is your name

Because it's Kira, Kira Whose justice is rigged Because it's Kira, Kira Who makes a list of people Whose names he'll write down and— (spoken:) Oh look, now there's an apple (sung:) Mind if I just take a bite? (laughs)

Russian version
The Russian title of the song is "Kira" (Кира).
