---(Jyushi Aimono)---

If everything in this world is darkness

I’d have no reason to open my eyelids

If I’d just go ahead and destroy these eyes

I wonder if my flowing tears would stop

Dreams and gods are a sham

I’m everyone’s laughing stock

The more I thought “don’t cry”

the more the cold rain flowed along my cheeks

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

I have things I can’t stand

One is defeat and the other is

Licking each other’s wounds from that defeat

Tired of standing on my own, I looked at the night sky

Your screams are your own

I can defend you but I can’t act for you

In the same way, my own anger and pain are mine

Don’t anybody dare touch them

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

Even if I get tired, fall, and wither

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

Squirming, floundering, enduring it in agony

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

Still I have the conviction to go forward, to the future

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

I have the conviction to earnestly go forward, to the future

---(Kuko Harai)---

Another experience like this would be too much

Let’s leave our suffering here

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

Enlightenment

---(Kuko Harai)---

Open your eyes and see it

Live...

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

...with volition...

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

...stubbornly

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

Sharing one’s lot with another, Nagoya Division

---(Kuko Harai)---

Let’s see with our sixth senses together

---(Bad Ass Temple)---

Nagoya!

---(Kuko Harai)---

Finally it’s my turn

When I grab my mic this becomes the center

The flowers engraved in my heart are mandala

Prepare yourself, red bandana

The loathed red spider lily

No matter what kind of flower you are

If you just bloom fully

Your body will be so beautiful it shakes you

It’s the proof that you lived, I put my hands together

Everyone makes mistakes, but there’s a right way to do them

Choose kindness, not correctness, Bad Ass Temple shines

I’ve got no interest in words of salvation

Sorry but I’m no God or Buddha

I’m just a monk passing by

And also your family

---(Kuko Harai)---

Let’s see with our sixth senses together

Yo, Jyushi! Blow them away!

---(Jyushi Aimono)---

“Visual-kei with strange make up”

People may say so but this is my destiny

To hide myself? Nay! To show myself

Awakening from slumber, now is the awakening

Of this narcist who has stared at a mirror

Longer than anyone else

That is why kneeling and getting up again and again

has been burned into my eyes

---(Hitoya Amaguni)---

Does resentment make you stronger?

Does hating make you feel better?

For what? For who? Why?

It raises nothing but questions

I don’t only want to become strong

I want to protect what’s important to me

The justice I believed in

It’s not a weapon but a shield to protect people

---(Kuko Harai)---

Earthquakes, thunder, fire, father

But what you should fear most is you yourself!

Clear the darkness, the fire in my chest

Fighting instinct, hard work and guts

The finishing fire; this red headed monk

Will spit some lyrics word by word that destroys

All the nicely written sophism on the folding screen

Listen well to this reckless sermon!

There’s no road leading to where we must go

In that case, lucky us, we won’t get lost either!

この世の全てが暗闇ならば

瞼を開く意味などないから

いっそこの目を潰してしまえば

溢れる涙は止まるだろうか

夢と神は紛い物

自分は皆の笑い者

泣いたらダメだ思えば思う程

冷たい雨が頬を流れた

俺には我慢ならんもんがある

ひとつは敗北　そしてもうひとつ

その傷　誰かと舐め合う事だ

独り立ち尽くし見上げた夜空

お前の叫びはお前のもので弁護は出来ても代弁は出来ない

同じく俺の怒りや痛みは俺だけのもんだ

誰も触るな

疲れ　倒れ　枯れ果てて

もがいて　あがいて　堪えて　悶えて

それでも前へ　未来へ　不退転

ひたすら前へ　未来へ　不退転

二つ眼じゃ抱え切れない苦しみならここに預かろう

開眼

さぁ　目を開けて見ろ

意志で　意地で　生きて

一蓮托生　ナゴヤ・ディビジョン

六つの眼で共に見つめよう

ナゴヤ！

遂に出番だな

マイク掴んだらここがど真ん中

胸に刻んだ花は曼陀羅

覚悟決めときな真っ赤なバンダナ

忌み嫌われた彼岸花

どんな花でも咲き誇れば

体がふるえる程に綺麗だ

生きた証だ　手を合わした

誰しも皆　過ちはあるが

間違え方を間違えちゃダメだ

正しさじゃなく優しさを選ぶ

Bad Ass Temple　光輝く

救いの言葉に興味はねぇな

悪いが神や仏じゃねぇんだよ

単なる通りすがりのお坊さん

そんでお前らの家族

開眼

さぁ　目を開けて見ろ

意志で　意地で　生きて

一蓮托生　ナゴヤ・ディビジョン

六つの眼で共に見つめよう

よぉ十四！ぶちかませ！

「奇天烈なメイクのビジュアル系」

などと言うなかれ　これぞ我が運命(サダメ)

隠す為？　否！　曝け出す為

眠りから目醒め　今　覚醒

誰よりも鏡を見つめ続けたナルシスト

だからこそ跪こうとも

何度だって立つ我が生き様を

眼に焼き付けてきた

恨む事で強くなるか？

憎む事で楽になるか？

何の為だ？　誰の為だ？

何故だ？　ハテナばかりだ

強くなりたいだけじゃない

大事なものを守りたい　信じた正義よ

武器じゃなく人を守る為の盾であれ

地震　雷　火事　親父　なにより

恐ろしい　それは自分自身

闇追い払う　胸の炎

闘争本能　努力と根性

オワリバリバリ赤髪の坊主

屏風に上手に描いた屁理屈を

押し通すリリック一言一句

よく聴け無鉄砲な説法を

進む先に道はない　ならば幸い　迷う事もない

開眼

さぁ　目を開けて見ろ

意志で　意地で　生きて

一蓮托生　ナゴヤ・ディビジョン

六つの眼で共に見つめよう

開眼　さぁ　目を開けて見ろ

開眼　さぁ　目を開けて見ろ

開眼　さぁ　目を開けて見ろ

一蓮托生　ナゴヤ・ディビジョン

六つの眼で共に見つめよう
