Lyrics

Seid ihr das Essen?

Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

踏まれた花の　名前も知らずに
地に堕ちた鳥は　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　進む意志を　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　反撃の嚆だ　城壁の其の彼方　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

Seid ihr das Essen?

Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

Fumareta hana no namae mo shirazu ni
Chi ni ochita (tori) wa kaze wo machi wabiru

Inotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranai
[Ima] wo kaeru na wa tatakau kakugo da...

Shikabane fumi koete susumu ishi wo warau buta yo
Kachiku no annei ...kyogi no han'ei ...shiseru garou no "jiyuu" o!

Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no koushi da jougeki no sono kanata emono wo hofuru [Jäger]
Hotobashiru [shoudou] ni sono mi wo yakinagara tasogare ni hi wo ugatsu――

Guren no Yumiya

Are you prey?

No, we are the hunters!

Crimson Bow and Arrows

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

Translated by Defade.
