Lyrics

Japanese/Kanji Lyrics	Romanized Lyrics	Translated Lyrics
ほらね　ショウが今始まる 見守っていてください なんとしても演じきるわ この役の最期まで	Hora ne SHOU ga ima hajimaru Mimamotte ite kudasai Nanto shite mo enjikiru wa Kono yaku no saigo made	Look, the show's starting now Please watch over me I must play this part no matter the cost Until this role comes to an end
林檎のように赤い小川はある日　床に滴ってしまう 瞳孔は闇を映す　未来を失ったまま (誰が何のために？) やるかやられるか　紙一重ゲェム (一体何のために？) この舞台上で生きてく	Ringo no you ni akai ogawa wa aru hi yuka ni shitatatte shimau Doukou wa yami o utsusu mirai o ushinatta mama (Dare ga nanno tame ni?) Yaru ka yarareru ka kamihitoe GEEMU (Ittai nanno tame ni?) Kono butai jou de ikiteku	An apple-like red creek one day drips onto the floor As those pupils seeing the darkness lost sight of the future (Who did it for what purpose?) It's a paper-thin, kill or die game (For what purpose on earth?) I live on this stage
乾いたスポットライト (牙を剥いてる) 冷えきったキョウキの声が (うふふふふふ…)	Kawaita SUPOTTORAITO (Kiba o muiteru) Hie kitta kyouki no koe ga (Ufufufufufu…)	On the dried out spotlight (Baring those fangs) I could hear that cold voice of madness (Ufufufufufu…)
だって命賭けた方が 美しくいられる 持っていけるというのなら いいわ　奪ってごらん 命尽きる瞬間の輝きを焼き付けて 私は見てるわ 照明落ちる　最期まで	Datte inochi kaketa hou ga Utsukushiku irareru Motte ikeru toiu no nara Ii wa ubatte goran Inochi tsukiru shunkan no kagayaki o yakitsukete Watashi wa miteru wa Shoumei ochiru saigo made	'Cause it's more beautiful at the risk of life If you believe you can take it That's fine, try taking it away Inscribe the shine at last moment of the life I'm looking at you To the last when the illumination fades out
可哀相だわ　悲劇は突然始まった訳じゃない 踊らされていただけね (綿密なシナリオで) 退屈よりもスリリングな方が 生を感じられる (生々しいほど)	Kawaisou da wa higeki wa totsuzen hajimatta wake janai Odorasareteita dake ne (Menmitsu na SHINARIO de) Taikutsu yori mo SURIRINGU na hou ga Sei o kanjirareru (Namanamashii hodo)	How pitiful, it's not that tragedy began all of a sudden You're only being manipulated (By the meticulous scenario) I feel life more when it's thrilling rather than it's boring (How raw it is)
狙いは付けられてた (最初からきっと) いつそのトリガーを引くか (うふふふふふ…)	Nerai wa tsukerareteta (Saisho kara kitto) Itsu sono TORIGAA o hiku ka (Ufufufufufu…)	Aim has been taken (from the beginning for sure) When is that trigger pulled? (Ufufufufufu…)
華の命は短いの 摘んでしまわないで もしも枯れてしまうとしたら 誰に愛を伝える？ エピローグのページまでたどり着けるのかしら 私は演じるわ 炎消える　最期まで	Hana no inochi wa mijikai no Tsunde shimawanai de Moshimo karete shimau to shitara Dare ni ai o tsutaeru? EPIROOGU no PEEJI made tadoritsukeru no kashira Watashi wa enjiru wa Honoo kieru saigo made	A flower's life is short Don't pluck it out If it ever wither Who does it convey the love to? Will you be able to get into the epilogue page, I wonder? I'll play this part To the last when the flames disappear
このショウもそろそろクライマックス 一体誰が仕掛けたのでしょう 命のエンターテイメント	Kono SHOU mo sorosoro KURAIMAKKUSU Ittai dare ga shikaketa no deshou Inochi no ENTAATEIMENTO	This show is coming to a climax soon Who set it up? Entertainment of life
よくここまでたどり着いたわ ちょっと褒めてあげる おっと　ここから先はもう 二人だけのヒミツよ 出口のない舞台へ ようこそいらっしゃいました 最高のおもてなし 最期にしてあげましょう	Yoku koko made tadoritsuita wa Chotto homete ageru Otto koko kara saki wa mou Futari dake no himitsu yo Deguchi no nai butai e Youkoso irasshaimashita Saikou no omotenashi Saigo ni shite agemashou	You've done well to make it this far Allow me to congratulate you Whoops, from now on is secret between you and me Welcome to the stage with no exits I will offer you the best hospitality in the last moments
