Koshi tantan mae e susumu dake sa
Kuukyo yori mo tanoshii tenpesuto

Hiragana / Katana / Kanji

能書き垂れてる場合じゃないから
虎視眈々　前へ　進むだけさ
空虚よりも楽しいテンペスト
傷の数だけ熱が増してく

諸行無常　全て　卓袱台返し
笑う奴らに叩き落とす鋭い雷
重荷を捨て去り見えてきた
消せない想い鮮やかなタトゥー

昨日までの僕は床に臥した
人間の殻を破り
加速　加速　加速する
Chaos Chaos Chaos Groove
鳴り止まないジャンクな心臓
連れ去ってくれ

奈落の底にて睨む光
泥だらけで痛むたび
あなたの言葉を思い出して
打ち捨てられた者にだけ宿る灯火がある
涙越え　やがて　強さへと変わっていく

食う　寝る　笑う　酒を浴びる
人を被る　人を被る
境界線を跨いでゆく
楽しくやろう泥の道を

七回転んで七這いつくばる
光炎万丈　望む景色を
変わり続けるものたちに
終わりの鐘は聞こえない

獣のようになってしまう
人間の殻を破り
濁り　濁り　濁ってく
Black Black Black Sheep
開きっぱなしの瞳孔で
悪魔みたいね

継ぎ接ぎだらけで歩いてゆく
爪弾きの命でも
この世界に深く傷跡を
正しく落ちた者にだけ宿る灯火がある
苦しみも　やがて　強さへと変わっていく

高く昇る
深く根を張る
その度に晦冥を知った
いつか海になれたならいいな
生きていく　涙浮かんでも

生きていく　裏切られようと
生きていく　今日死ぬとしても
心の火が消える時まで

English Translation

This isn't the time for lofty words
With unwavering gaze, just move forward
Tempest bursts joyful, more thrilling than emptiness
Each scar only deepens the fire within

All things are impermanent, everything gets flipped over
Sharp lightning knocks down mockers who laugh
Shedding burdens, I glimpsed clearly
Feelings that won't fade, bold tattoos on the heart

Yesterday's me lay on the floor
Shattering this human shell
Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate
Chaos Chaos Chaos Groove
My junk heart beats on relentlessly
Take me away

A glaring light glares from the abyss
Muddy and aching, each time
I remember your words
The torch that lives only in abandoned souls
Beyond the tears, it will become strength

Eat, sleep, laugh, bathe in drink
Hiding behind masks, hiding behind masks
Crossing boundaries
Let's celebrate this muddy road

Falling seven times, crawling seven more
Blazing light, the scenery I aim for
In a world that keeps changing
No bell heralds the end

Turning beast-like
Breaking this human shell
Stained, stained, blurring
Black Black Black Sheep
With dilated pupils
Feeling devilish

Stitching steps forward
Even a life cast aside
Leaves the deepest scars on this world
The torch that stays only with the truly fallen
Suffering, too, will turn to strength

Rise high
Take root deep
Each time, discovering darkness anew
If ever I could become the sea
I'd live, even with tears in my eyes

Live on, even if betrayed
Live on, even if dying today
Until the fire in the heart fades
