死の廃墟に潜む亡霊が
狂乱―暴動
烈火の如くは鬼神
あまねく世なら 叩き潰せ
Shi no haikyo ni hisomu bourei ga
Kyouran Boudou
Rekka no gotoku ha Kijin
Amaneku yo nara Tatakitsubuse
The spirits lurking in ruins of death
Rage and revolt.
The fierce god, like a raging fire,
Smashes up the wide world.

 

逃げる罪人を喰らう番犬が
冥界に再生
霊化を待たず補える
忘却の椅子
Nigeru zainin wo kurau banken ga
Meikai ni saisei
Reika wo matazu oginaeru¹
Boukyaku no isu
The watchdog that devours escaping sinners
Is reborn in Hades.
If you won't wait to become a spirit, you'll be compensated with
The chair of oblivion.

 

Divine judgment
鳴り止まない 叫びは轟く
Liberate slave
大地は揺れる 全てを解き放て
Divine judgment
Nariyamanai Sakebi ha todoroku
Liberate slave
Daichi ha yureru Subete wo tokihanate
Divine judgment
The cries throb, they won't stop ringing.
Liberate slave
The earth is trembling and releasing everything.

 

絶望ラビリンスよ
闇に消えゆけ
零から無限の中へ
産まれ落ちた 運命
Zetsubou labyrinth yo
Yami ni kieyuke
Zero kara mugen no naka he
Umareochita Sadame²
Labyrinth of despair,
Disappear into the darkness!
Fate is born
In the midst of the infinity from nothing.

 

Divine judgment
生きとし者 犠牲の裁きを
Liberate slaves
天地を変える 力を振りかざせ
Divine judgment
Ikitoshi mono Gisei no sabaki wo
Liberate slaves
Daichi wo kaeru Chikara wo furikazase
Divine judgement
Living beings give the verdict of sacrifice.
Literate slaves.
Raise your power high, and change heaven and earth.

 

Divine judgment
鳴り止まない 叫びは轟く
Liberate slaves
大地は揺れる 全てを解き放て
Divine judgment
Nariyamanai Sakebi ha todoroku
Liberate slave
Daichi ha yureru Subete wo tokihanate
Divine judgment
The cries throb, they won't stop ringing.
Liberate slave
The earth is trembling and releasing everything.

 

絶望ラビリンスよ
闇に消えゆけ
零から無限の中へ
産まれ落ちた…
Zetsubou labyrinth yo
Yami ni kieyuke
Zero kara mugen no naka he
Umareochita...
Labyrinth of despair,
Disappear into the darkness!
Fate is born
In the midst of the infinity from nothing...

 

愛はうつつ息づく
地上のプシュケー
朽ちては果てぬ理性に
望みをかけて さあ行こうか
Ai ha utsutsu ikizuku
Chijou no pushukee³
Kuchite ha hatenu risei ni
Nozomi wo kakete Saa ikou ka
Love is breathing consciousness,
The psyche of the world.
In the unending rational decay,
Make a wish. Now, shall we go?

Notes
1. Zin sings something other than what’s written, but I’ll admit I can’t make out exactly what it is, so the original word has stayed in.
2. “Unmei” (“fate, destiny”) is written, but Zin sings “sadame” (“fate, destiny”)
3. Usually I will render the katakana into the English word they are using, but since the way the Japanese say “psyche” is different from English speakers, I’ve romanized the katakana instead.
