Lyrics
That had been involved in peacekeeping in the frontier, Göreme...
The five people who went missing were different in nationality, ethnicity and gender...
-and two years later...
Only one survived...
“Leviathan”
That is – the name of the beast that descended to tell of the end...
Within the fiction of ‘everyday life’, doubted by none
The ‘cogwheel’ turns silently
Outside the cage of ‘everyday life’, escaped by none
‘Reality’ interchanges secretly
Upon the stage of ‘the end’, desired by none
The ‘cogwheel’ turns silently
Under the fate of ‘the end’, escaping all notice
‘Reality’ interchanges secretly
《Homeless》twins that died at the same time in different places
《The Ministry of Justice》, whose mole was somehow a mirror reflection after leaving the hospital
The ‘cogwheel’ turns...‘reality’ interchanges...
Even within a city that succeeded in escaping 《Millennium》...the scent of darkness floats upon the wind...
Ones that should remain unseen wriggle and squirm...
It must be a night like tonight...when that ‘man’ returns...
-ID...neurosurgery...Dr. Zagu...
《Mirror Human》is the recovery of two halves of the body after being separated from the middle
Stating that the origins of medical science lie in magic, 《The Authority on Neurosurgery》[Zagu] made his scalpel shine Left with no choice, the restrained 《Woman》[Satsuki] calls out the name of the unreturning 《Man》[person]
Kicking down the door, the shadow that emerged right then was the man of her pleas
Her teacher 《Naana》 accompanied him and fired his gun...
See...the ‘man’ returned...and ‘reality’ is interchanged...
Their story is about to begin...
“Leviathan”
That is – the name of the beast that descended to tell of the end...
Made from the bodies of numerous beasts and fish
The beast of end that had existed since the beginning of creation
Will be captured by the hands of the savior in the coming, final day of judgment...
Its humongous flesh will be offered solemnly to serve as the nourishment of saints...
-Leviathan
The Beast that Heralds the End
