死んでいるのが当たり前なのさ
怪物だらけのパレード
夢が覚めても夢は終わらない
君が導く行進
Shindeiru no ga atari mae na no sa
Kaibutsu darake no parade
Yume ga samete mo yume ha owaranai
Kimi ga michibiku koushin
It's only natural you’re dying.
This is a parade full of monsters.
Even if your dreams awake, this dream will not end,
This parade that you lead.

 

死んでいるのが当たり前なのさ
ほら オモチャは動かない
モノと生き物は最初は同じ
真夜中しか動かない
Shindeiru no ga atari mae na no sa
Hora Omocha ha ugokanai
Mono to ikimono ha saishou ha onaji
Mayonaka shika ugokanai
Of course you're dying.
Look, the toys won't move.
Inanimate and living things were the same in the beginning;
They only move at midnight.

 

君は特別 存在が奇蹟
未来にでも行ける 息をするだけで
Kimi ha tokubetsu Sonzai ga kiseki
Mirai ni de mo yukeru Iki wo suru dake de
You are special. Your existence is a miracle.
You can head into even the future, just breathing.

 

我らは行く 足音立てて
怪物だらけのパレード
我らは行く 足音立てて
怪物だらけのパレード
Warera ha yuku Ashioto tatete
Kaibutsu darake no parade
Warera ha yuku Ashioto tatete
Kaibutsu darake no parade
We will go, footsteps ringing,
In this parade full of monsters.
We will go, footsteps ringing,
In this parade full of monsters.

 

時間はとても美味しい食べ物
とうの昔に飲み込んだのさ
時計の針?この牙の事かい?
今度は何を食べられるのかな?
Jikan ha totemo oishii tabemono
Dou no mukashi ni nomikonda no sa
Tokei no hari? Kono kiba no koto kai?
Kondo ha nani wo taberareru no ka na?
Time is exquisitely delicious food.
A long time ago, I swallowed it all.
The hand of the clock? This fang?
What will be eaten this time?

 

君は格別 誰より美味しい
だからそう最後までとっておくのさ
Kimi ha kakubetsu Dare yori oishii
Da kara sou saigo made totteoku no sa
You are exceptional, sweeter than anyone else,
So I will save you until the very end.

 

我らは行く 足音立てて
怪物だらけのパレード
我らは行く 足音立てて
怪物だらけのパレード
Warera ha yuku Ashioto tatete
Kaibutsu darake no parade
Warera ha yuku Ashioto tatete
Kaibutsu darake no parade

We will go, footsteps ringing,
In this parade full of monsters.

Even if your dreams awake, this dream will not end,
This parade that you lead.
