Japanese Lyrics
朽ち果てるように燃ゆる月 暁に沈みゆく

造られた仮面(かお)で　そっと近付いて 信じるモノを　闇に落とす

糸に絡まる　エモノのように ただ　ひたすらに　空を仰ぐ

繰り返される悲劇　不気味に笑う裏の顔 これ以上　何ひとつ　失くさないように刀を抜く

闇に葬れ　汚れた笑顔 やり場のない怒り、放て！ どれだけの血と涙を流したら… 祈るように斬り裂いて 今日もアカク染め上げよ！

儚く散りゆく　魂の声が 耳に焼き付いて　蝕まれる

歪んだ愛に　抗う強さと 弱さを隠す　真実の仮面(かお)

黒い雨　降り注ぎ　独リ佇み濡れる頬 これ以上　何ひとつ　奪われぬように引き金引く

空に叫べ　心の声を 迷いの無いヒカリ、放て！ どれだけの命を弄んだら… 願い込め　打ち抜いて 今日もアカク染め上げよ！

嘘で塗り固められた空の下、 産み堕とされたこの命. 狂おしい程に足掻いても、 手の届かない、優しい世界. 毒を以て、毒を征す！ Liar Mask!!!

快楽に溺れて　狂い続ける歯車を これ以上　何ひとつ　動かせぬように ―命、懸け―　終止符を打つ…！

闇に葬れ　汚れた笑顔 やり場のない怒り、放て！ 悲しみの迷路を抜け出せるなら… 報いまで受け止めて

何度も、空に刻め　勇気の鼓動 希望、胸に　ヒカリ、放て！ どれだけの血と涙を流したら… 祈るように斬リ裂いて 今日もアカク染め上げよ！

English Translation
The moon burns, as if about to crumble… …sinking into the dawn.

With a face created for me, I draw closer, Dropping believers into the darkness.

Like pray tied up in a web, I’m simply looking up to the sky.

A tragedy put on repeat… a hidden face laughing ominously… To keep from losing a single thing more, I’ll draw this blade.

Smothered by darkness with a sullied smile, I’ll release this anger that has nowhere else to go. No matter how much the blood and tears flow, I’ll cut through as if offering a prayer; Another day of staining everything in red!

Fleetingly falling, the voice of my soul, Is burned into my ears, where it gnaws away at me.

I have the strength to fight against twisted love, And my true face, which hides my weakness.

Black rain comes flowing down and I stop dead with drenched cheeks. For the sake of not having a single thing more stolen from me, I’ll pull the trigger.

Screaming up to the sky with my heart’s voice, I’ll release a light free of uncertainty. Just how long will my life be treated as a plaything…? I’ll make a wish and burst through; Another day of staining everything in red!

Beneath a sky coated with lies, This life was cast down upon birth. Even if I struggle until I lose my mind, A gentle, kind world is out of reach. By venom, let venom be cleansed! Liar Mask!!!

Drowned in pleasure, the gears steep further into insanity, And in order to keep them from moving a single click more, – Risking this life – I’ll put an end to it all…!

Smothered by darkness with a sullied smile, I’ll release this anger that has nowhere else to go. If I can make it out of the labyrinth of sorrow… Bearing it all in until retribution is mine…

As many times as it takes, carving courageous heartbeats into the sky, I’ll release a light with hope in my heart! No matter how much the blood and tears flow, I’ll cut through as if offering a prayer; Another day of staining everything in red!
