Lyrics

(Feuerrotes Ziel)


Kariudo da to usobuita omae wa ueta kemono
"Nareau kurainara shinda hou ga mashi da" to hoeta

Chi ni mamireta shikabane no hikari naki hitomi ga iru
"Kiba wo nakusu no nara izure uramu darou" to utau

Fujouri na mon sa [oretachi] wa chiisana shouri de sae
Hikikaeru ni wa amari ni mo ookina [RISUKU] wo seowasareru

Inujini shitai wake janai... naa... shindemo shi ni kirenai daro?
Sono ishi wa muda janai kono mama ja owarasenai
Yatsura wo nedayashi ni suru made wa......

――Kono utsukushii zankoku na sekai de wa――

Yuuyami ni somaru no wa hyouteki ka onore ka
Yuminari ni hajike tobi emono wo hofure [Jäger]
Tasogare ni hanatareta hotobashiru [satsui] ga
Mure wo nashi ugatsu no wa――

Guren no (zahyou)

Rakuen wo samayoeru awarena hito kage
Karera ni mo taisetsu na dareka ga itadarou

Shinjitsu wo motomete mo ibitsuna garasu wa
Kotonatta kyozou wo utsusu nozoki komu kao no kazu dake

Fujouri na mon sa [genjitsu] wa wazuka na kouki de sae
Te ni ireru ni wa amari ni mo kajou na [KOSUTO] wo harawasareru

Inuji ni saseta mama ja... naa... kuite mo kui tarinai darou?
Kono ishi yo toki wo koe nando de mo uketsugare
Sono michi wo mukuwareru made susume......

――Kono utsukushii zankoku na sekai de wa――

Yuugure ni yureru no wa kanashimi ka zouo ka
Aganaeru tsumi wo daki emono wo hofuru [Krieger]
[Akogare] ni norowareta tomedo naki [satsui] ga
Na wo kaete tadoru no wa――

Guren no (zahyou)

Hoeru koto shika dekinakatta ano hi no shounen wa [buki] wo tori ooku no nakama wo eta
Izure shingeki no [koushi] wa shayou no sora wo tsuranuku

[Zahyou] megakete!
“I’m a hunter!” you howled, though you’re but a hungry beast

“I’d rather die than play at making friends!” so you roared

Bloodstained corpses pierce you with lightless eyes
“You’ll regret it if you ever end up losing those fangs of yours!” they sing

It’s just so absurd, in exchange for the smallest of victories
Humans[we] are forced to pay too steep a <price> [risk]

I don’t want their deaths to be for nothing...heck, that wouldn’t sit well with them, right?
Their dying wishes won’t be in vain, and I won’t let it end like this
Until I exterminate every single one of them...

In this beautiful yet cruel world

Who is stained in the darkness of dusk? His target, or he himself?
Let fly your arrows and slaughter your prey, oh <will of the hunter>
Released into the sunset, this surging impulse[killing intent]
Gains strength in numbers and pierces the crimson coordinates

Pitiful silhouettes that wander in paradise
Surely, there must’ve been someone important to them, too

Even if we seek the truth, this bent and twisted glass
Shows a different lie for every pair of eyes that gazes upon it

It’s just so absurd, in exchange for the smallest of advantages
The world[reality] demands too excessive a cost

If we just let their deaths be in vain...what follows is endless regret, right?
Let their dying wishes transcend time and be passed on, over and over again
Keep going down that path until their deaths pay off...

In this beautiful yet cruel world

What is wavering at dusk? Sorrow, or hatred?
To carry a sin without atonement while slaughtering prey is the <will of attack>
Cursed by <longing>, this unstoppable impulse[killing impulse]
Under a different name, would still reach the crimson coordinates

The boy from that day who could do nothing but roar has now taken up <the survey corps’ equipment>[arms], and gained many comrades
The arrow that signals the start of his counterattack will one day pierce the setting sun
Aimed straight at <where beginning and end meet>[the coordinates]!
