## Lyrics

### Kanji

鉄の弾が 正義の証明

貫けば 英雄に近づいた

その目を閉じて 触れてみれば

同じ形 同じ体温の悪魔

僕はダメで あいつはいいの?

そこに壁があっただけなのに

生まれてしまった 運命嘆くな

僕らはみんな 自由なんだから

鳥のように 羽があれば

どこへだって行けるけど

帰る場所が なければ

きっとどこへも行けない

ただただ生きるのは嫌だ

世界は残酷だ それでも君を愛すよ

なにを犠牲にしても それでも君を守るよ

間違いだとしても 疑ったりしない

正しさとは 自分のこと 強く信じることだ

鉄の雨が 降り散る情景

テレビの中 映画に見えたんだ

戦争なんて 愚かな凶暴

関係ない 知らない国の話

それならなんで あいつ憎んで

黒い気持ち 隠しきれない理由

説明だって できやしないんだ

僕らはなんて 矛盾ばっかなんだ

この言葉も 訳されれば

本当の意味は伝わらない

信じるのは その目を開いて

触れた世界だけ

ただただ生きるのは嫌だ

世界は残酷だ それでも君を愛すよ

なにを犠牲にしても それでも君を守るよ

選んだ人の影 捨てたものの屍

気づいたんだ 自分の中 育つのは悪魔の子

正義の裏 犠牲の中 心には悪魔の子

### Romaji

Tetsu no tama ga seigi no shoumei

Tsuranukeba eiyuu ni chikazuita

Sono me wo tojite furete mireba

Onaji katachi onaji taion no akuma

Boku wa dame de aitsu wa ii no?

Soko ni kabe ga atta dake na no ni

Umarete shimatta sadame nageku na

Bokura wa minna jiyuu nan dakara

Tori no you ni hane ga areba

Doko e datte yukeru kedo

Kaeru basho ga nakereba

Kitto doko e mo yukenai

Tadatada ikiru no wa iya da

Sekai wa zankoku da sore demo kimi wo aisu yo

Nani wo gisei ni shitemo sore demo kimi wo mamoru yo

Machigai da to shitemo utagattari shinai

Tadashisa to wa jibun no koto tsuyoku shinjiru koto da

Tetsu no ame ga furi chiru joukei

Terebi no naka eiga ni mietan da

Sensou nante oroka na kyoubou

Kankei nai shiranai kuni no hanashi

Sore nara nande aitsu nikunde

Kuroi kimochi kakushi kirenai wake

Setsumei datte deki ya shinain da

Bokura wa nante mujun bakka nan da

Kono kotoba mo yakusarereba

Hontou no imi wa tsutawaranai

Shinjiru no wa sono me wo hiraite

Fureta sekai dake

Tadatada ikiru no wa iya da

Sekai wa zankoku da sore demo kimi wo aisu yo

Nani wo gisei ni shitemo sore demo kimi wo mamoru yo

Eranda hito no kage suteta mono no shikabane

Kizuitan da jibun no naka sodatsu no wa akuma no ko

Seigi no ura gisei no naka kokoro ni wa akuma no ko

### English

An iron bullet is proof of justice.

Whenever I shot I became closer to the hero.

If you close your eyes and touch it,

The evil who has the same body and the same temperature.

Am I not good enough and is he better for you?

There was just a wall.

Don’t cry about the destiny we were born with.

Cause we are all free.

If we have wings like birds,

We could go anywhere.

If we don’t have a place to return to,

We might not be able to go anywhere.

I don’t want to just live.

This world is cruel but I still love you.

Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.

Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it.

What is right is believing in myself strongly.

The scene of the rain of iron falling.

It was on the TV, which looks like a movie.

War is a stupid violence.

It’s the story of an unrelated and unknown country.

Then why do I hate him,

The reason why I can’t hide my dark feelings,

I can’t even explain why.

How come we are full of contradictions?

Once this word is translated,

The real meaning won’t be understood.

What I believe is, when opening your eyes,

Only the world you touch.

I don’t want to just live.

This world is cruel but I still love you.

Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.

The shadow of the person whom I chose, the corpse of what I threw.

I noticed that what is growing inside me is the child of evil.

Behind justice, inside of sacrifice, there is a child of evil inside my heart.
