*Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

踏まれた花の　名前も知らずに

地に墜ちた鳥は　風を待ち侘びる

祈ったところで　何も変わらない

いまを変えるのは　戦う覚悟だ…

屍踏み越えて　進む意思を　嗤う豚よ

家畜の安寧　…虚偽の繁栄 …死せる餓狼の『自由』を！

囚われた屈辱は　反撃の嚆矢だ　城壁のその彼方　獲物を屠る 狩人

迸る殺意に　其の身を灼きながら　黄昏に緋を穿つ——

紅蓮の弓矢

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

Fumareta hana no namae mo shirazu ni

Chi ni ochita tori wa kaze o machiwabiru

Inotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranai

Ima o kaeru no wa tatakau kakugo da...

Shikabane fumikoete Susumu ishi o warau buta yo

Kachiku no annei...Kyogi no han'ei...Shiseru garō no "Jiyuu" o!

Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no kōshi da Jōheki no sono kanata emono o hofuru *Jäger*

Hotobashiru shōdō ni sono mi o yaki nagara Tasogare ni hi o ugatsu——

Guren no yumiya

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Wir sind die Jäger!*

*Are you the prey? No, we are the hunters!*

*We are the hunters!*

*We are the hunters!*

*We are the hunters!*

Unknown are the names of the flowers that have been trampled

Birds have fallen to the earth and long for the wind

Prayers will not solve anything

Only the will to fight can change the here and now!

O pigs who laugh at the resolve

to walk over corpses to move forward

Livestock complacency? False prosperity?

Give us the freedom of dying starving wolves!

The humiliation of being caged is what triggers us to fight back

We hunters slaughter prey beyond the castle Walls,

consumed with surging bloodlust,

as our crimson bows and arrows pierce scarlet holes into the twilight

*We are the hunters!*

*We are the hunters!*

*We are the hunters!*

踏まれた花の　名前も知らずに

地に墜ちた鳥は　風を待ち侘びる

祈ったところで　何も変わらない

《不本意な現状》を変えるのは　戦う覚悟だ…

屍踏み越えて　進む意思を　嗤う豚よ

家畜の安寧　…虚偽の繁栄 …死せる餓狼の『自由』を！

囚われた屈辱は　反撃の嚆矢だ　城壁のその彼方　獲物を屠る《狩人》

迸る《殺意》に　其の身を灼きながら　黄昏に緋を穿つ——

紅蓮の弓矢

矢を番え追い駈ける　やつは逃がさない

矢を放ち追い詰める　決して逃がさない

限界まで引き絞る　はち切れそうな弦

《標的》が息絶えるまで　何度でも放つ

獲物を殺すのは《凶器》でも　技術でもない

研ぎ澄まされた　お前自身の殺意だ

*Wir sind die Jäger!* 焔のように熱く！

*Wir sind die Jäger!* 氷のように冷ややかに！

*Wir sind die Jäger!* 己を矢に込めて！

*Wir sind die Jäger!* 全てを貫いて征け！

*Angriff auf die Titanen*

*Der Junge von einst wird bald zum Schwert greifen*

*Wer nur seine Machtlosigkeit beklagt kann nichts verändern*

*Der Junge von einst wird bald das schwarze Schwert ergreifen*

*Hass und Zorn sind eine zweischneidige Klinge*

*Bald eines Tages wird er dem Schicksal die Zähne zeigen*

何かを変える事が出来るのは

何かを捨てる事が出来るもの

何ひとつ《危険性》等　背負わないままで　何かが叶う等……

暗愚の想定　…唯の幻影　…今は無謀な勇気も…

『自由』の尖兵　賭けの攻勢

奔る奴隷に勝利を！

架せられた不条理は　進撃の嚆矢だ

奪われた其の地平　『自由』を望む 《あの日の少年》

止めどなき《殺意》に　其の身を侵されながら　宵闇に紫を運ぶ——

冥府の弓矢

*Are you the prey? No, we are the hunters!*

*Crimson Bow and Arrow*

Not knowing the name of the trampled flower

Birds that have fallen from the sky tire of waiting upon the wind

Prayers won’t change anything

Only the resolve to fight can change the <Undesirable Present Situation>[present]…

You pigs who sneer at our will to step over corpses and march onwards

Enjoy the peace of livestock…false prosperity…"freedom" of the dying wolves that hunger!

The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack

Beyond the castle Walls lies a 《hunter》 killing his prey

With a surging 《killer impulse》 scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet

With a crimson arrow

Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won’t let it escape

Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won’t let it escape

He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping

He’ll release it, time and time again, until <his target> draws its last breath

What truly kills a prey are not 《weapons》 nor your skills at using it

But your own sharp killing intent

We are the hunters -> passionate as flames!

We are the hunters -> cold as ice!

We are the hunters -> pour your heart and soul into your arrow!

We are the hunters -> boldly go forth and pierce through everything!

*Attack on the Titans.*

*The boy from back then will soon take up the sword.*

*Who only laments his powerlessness won’t be able to change anything.*

*The boy from back then will soon take up the black sword.*

*Hate and rage are a double-edged blade.*

*Soon, one day, he will bare his fangs against fate.*

Ones that could hope to change anything

Are ones who could bear to abandon anything

Without bearing any 《risk》 at all, how could you hope to attain anything…?

Foolish assumptions…they are but mere phantasms…right now, we could do with even reckless courage…

The advance guards of <freedom>…betting on their offensive

Victory to the charging slaves!

All this absurdity forced upon us are our cue to counterattack

Deprived of his horizon,《Eren from that day》 yearns for《the world of freedom》

With relentless 《killer impulse》 assailing his body, he carries violet to dusk-

With an arrow from Hades
