kubarareta kikei no card

ikuoku no game sasoi no yoru

sabakareru kotomo naku

ikihabakatta jinkai ni atete

mukaeru gekijou no roulette

tenjyou no trap ni kakete

takusareta wazade nozomu stage

gin no takt yurashite

nigitta ao no glass

nomihosu youni

darenimo miyaburenai

seisai no trick

shousan ichibyou utagau suki naku

ochite ikudarou

kuchibiru kara koboreta toge ga sashite

kowaku no joker

shirazu ni michibikarete ita

tsuki ni aegu checkmate de

shinku no jelly ni shizumeru

fusagareta kikei no case

giwaku no shichinin toki wa tsukitemo

yurusareru koto nado nai

kaikei no bara wo hanamuke ni kaete

konote tejou kakete misete

kotae shirezu urotaeru kemono

torawareta oyadori no shirase

king no iki koyoi de tomeru

tokiakasu hi machikogarete

dare nara miyabureruno

seisai na trick

shousan uragaeshita nara yami

ochite ikunowa boku no houkana

kokokara uketotteyo

nazokakeru ace

kijutsushi no teno nakani himeta

toki hatashita

seisai no magic

shousan ichibyou matataku yochi naku

owari wa itsumo boku no houkara

sayonara

abakidashita meikyu no kagi wa

kijutsushi ga michibiita chikara

yumemiru youna endroll ni

shinku no namida nokoshite

配られた奇計の招待状

幾億のゲーム誘いの夜

裁かれる事も無く

生き憚った塵芥に宛てて

迎える劇情のルーレット

天上の罠に賭けて

託された術で臨む舞台

銀の指揮棒揺らして

握った 紺青の祝杯

飲み乾すように

誰にも魅破れない

制裁のトリック

勝算 一秒 疑う隙無く

堕ちて逝くだろう

唇から 零れた棘が射して

蠱惑のJOKER

知らずに導かれていた

月に喘ぐチェックメイトで

深紅の蜜液に沈める

塞がれた詭計の事件

疑惑の七人 刻は尽きても

赦される事など無い

会稽の薔薇を餞に代えて

この腕 手錠かけてみせて

答え知れず 狼狽える警獣

囚われた親鳥の遺言

首謀者の息 今宵で止める

解き明かす焔 待ち焦がれて

誰なら見破れるの？

精細なトリック

賞賛 裏返したなら闇

堕ちて往くのは僕の方かな

此処から受け取ってよ

謎掛ける「A」

奇術師の掌の内に秘めた

時果たした

聖裁のマジック

消散 一秒 瞬く余地なく

終りはいつも僕の方から

「さよなら」

暴き出した迷宮の鍵は

奇術師が導いた力

夢見る様な終幕に

深紅の涙　遺して

The curious-looking cards have been delivered,

inviting the guests to a night of endless games.

They are addressed to the vermin

who went on living shamelessly, never having paid for their crimes.

Awaiting them is a theatrically staged roulette.

Unknowingly, they bet on the trap heaven set out for them.

With the tricks he was endowed with, the man makes his way to the stage,

flicking the silver baton he holds in his grip,

enticing the guests

to drink up the deep blue liquid in their glasses.

No one can see through the tricks

the man employs to mete out his punishment.

The game’s in his hands. The opponents would likely meet their end

without doubting for a single second.

From their lips, the thorns spill out with an ominous gleam.

With such an alluring joker as their guide,

they unknowingly let themselves be led into the trap.

As they gasp their last breath under the moon, at the moment of checkmate,

the man sends them drowning in the crimson syrup.

The fraud case that had been covered up…

The seven suspects… Although their time has come,

their crimes shall never be absolved.

The roses of contemplation shall be made their farewell gifts.

Try putting a pair of handcuffs on me, you beasts.

Panicking in your confusion, not knowing the answer.

The last words of the captured mother bird…

Tonight, the “king” behind it all shall draw his last breath.

For so long have I been waiting for the flame that shall reveal every truth.

Who can possibly see through

these meticulous tricks?

So much adulation, but the flip side of that is darkness.

I guess the one to fall will actually be me.

Take it over for me from here on out,

the riddled “A,”

hidden in the palm of the magician.

Now that I’ve carried out

the magic of my sacred judgment,

it’s all gone, in the blink of an eye.

The ending is always brought on by me.

"Farewell."

The key to the labyrinth I’ve exposed

is the power to which the magician led the way.

Leaving behind crimson tears

at the finale just as he dreamed of…
