Lyrics
At the end of a world on its way to destruction, someone is betrayed
The foolish act of throwing in shining jewels; it’s a mire there
From the cycle of the world on its way to destruction, someone escapes
It’s too late to start helping each other now; it’s bottomless there
We knew the world...we knew history...
We knew the future...but we really didn’t know anything...
We want to know the world...we want to know history...
We want to know the future...we’ll start our search now...
We are ones who are promised blessings by the book
They are the ones who are promised judgment by the book
The <Beast of End>[bestia] engraved upon the book, following the black order
The <System of Judgment>[sistema] that runs down history, turning to the last page...
For beauty, there is ugliness...
For wisdom, there is foolishness ...
If massacred by that darkness, existence itself is same as fiction...
Even after devouring many memories and history, the beast is unstoppable...
White wings that descend from the sky
Without fearing disappearance, heads towards the darkness. At that time, we were...
Black Order. The underground cathedral...
“Welcome back, <My Cute Daughters>...is what I wanted to say,
But it seems like you have no intention of rejoining our ranks...”
“It’s truly a shame, but you’re too late. Nobody can stop the beast of the book...
Until the flood of the end massacres this old world and devours all of history...”
“Stepfather[Noah]...you’re such a...”
“...when I see those eyes, I can’t help but recall...
<Father of the Rebel>[Lucius], <Mother of the Escapee>[Ilia]...it really is in the blood...”
“O <Black God-Child>[Lucia]...I am saddened...!
I thought you could've understood the truth of the book...
But nevermind...if you think you can change history...
Then come at me anytime...!”
“Can you not hear? Those sounds that will guide us to a new world...!”
