The low fever that has assailed
My decayed spirit clears.
I grab an unstoppable particle.
A hazy mirage born of anguish?
Citizens become servants to the ringleaders
Wavering over there is the continuation of metamorphosis.
Japanese Lyrics:
Kuchihatenu kontaku ni konbaku ni
朽ち果てぬ魂魄に
Owareta binetsu ga hyoukai
おわれた微熱が氷解
Tomedonai ryuushi o nigiri
とめどない粒子を握り
Yuumon ni saku kagerou ka
憂悶にさく陽炎か
Genkyou no shimobe naru minzoku no
元凶のしもべなる民族の
Anata ni yuraguwa sonzoku no kasei
彼方に揺らぐは存続の化生
