Lyrics

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.
