あなた方 あなた方 黒く染まっていくのか

その怨嗟の見えるような眼であなた何しに ここへ何しに

機能削ぎ落とした理 それは苦しい なのにどうして

擬態した死体 ここに蘇ったこと

なってない いけないよね ルールは無視して

デッドマウント・デスプレイ

きっと来たること想像してなかったね

あなた方 あなた方 黒く染まっていくのかい?

ありふれた幸せが周りにちょうどなかったよね

暗くなる 辺りは見えなく 色の意味もなくなる世界へ

立ち上がり 一寸先へ 抗え

踊れ 踊れ 黒鍵と黒鍵で嫌になるメロディーで

ネクロ ネクロ 苦しみだけ置いていくはず

あなた方 あなた方 黒く染まっていくのかい?

ありふれた幸せが周りにちょうどなかったよね

そうだよね

その怨嗟の見えるような眼であなた何しに ここへ何しに

今際の際より這い出た 遊び心で 見逃してとね

クラリ 日々死の行進

火遊び心中

集合知 全能もそうですか

君もそれがいい

勝てぬ遊び

それでも選ぶ ポレ ポレ ポレチュカ

擬態した死体 ここに蘇ったこと

なってない いけないよね ルールは無視して

デッドマウント・デスプレイ

きっと来たること想像してなかったね

なかったね

黒くなる 彼らは深くへ 手をつないで進んでいくらしい

壊せ 壊せ 掌底と掌底で境目 ヒビ入れて

トドメ トドメ 安らかさで溢れてほしいね

踊れ 踊れ 黒鍵と黒鍵で嫌になるメロディーで

ネクロ ネクロ 苦しみだけ置いていくはず

あなた方 あなた方 黒く染まっていくのかい?

ありふれた幸せが周りにちょうどなかったよね

あなた方 あなた方 全てわかっていくのかい?

少しだけ だけでいいと願うのになかったよね

わかんないね

You, all of you. You all are going to be dyed black

With those vengeful eyes, what are you trying to do? What brings you here?

A reason that has lost its function. Why do you cling to that painful reason, even though it hurts?

The corpse pretending to be a bear has been resurrected here

It’s wrong, it’s bad. But we’ll break the rules

Dead Mount Death Play,

You probably never imagined what was to come

You, all of you are you all going to be dyed black?

Mundane happiness was just not within your reach

It gets dark. As the darkness deepens, the surroundings disappear to a world where even colors have no meaning

Stand up and resist, move forward

Dance, dance to the melody that becomes unbearable with black keys and black keys

Necro-Necro, you should leave behind only the pain

Are you all going to be dyed black?

Mundane happiness was just not within your reach

That’s right

With those vengeful eyes, what are you trying to do? What brings you here?

Please overlook me with a playful spirit crawling out of the edge of death

Dizzy, the march of death every day.

Suicide with fire

Is collective knowledge almighty too?

So do you.

It’s a game that can’t be won,

But still, choose Polé Polé Polé Chooka

The corpse pretending to be a bear has been resurrected here,

It’s wrong, it’s bad. But we’ll break the rules

Dead Mount Death Play,

You probably never imagined what was to come

Right?

They’re getting darker. It seems like that they are going to move forward hand in hand into the depths

Break it, break it. Make a crack in the border with a palm strike

Deliver the finishing blow, and let peace overflow

Dance, dance to the melody that becomes unbearable with black keys and black keys

Necro-Necro, you should leave behind only the pain

Are you all going to be dyed black?

Mundane happiness was just not within your reach

Are you all going to understand everything?

Even if I only wish for a little, it was not there

I don’t know anything

Anatagata anatagata kuroku somatte iku no ka
