1.The bigger one grows,
2.The more they see the lifeless crowd—
3.Brushing the surface, making noise,
4.Scurrying about in confusion.
5.With every realization, my heartbeat quickens,
6.As deep within my heart,
7.A cruel and dark emotion festers hideously,
8.Threatening to burst through my body at any moment.9.
10.Ah,
11.Low and resonant, the stamp of the marching procession.
12.Devouring both good and evil, the march of invasion.
13.People, towns—all sing and dance, a grand parade of destruction.14.
15.Yeah,
16.Line up and march onward to that place.
17.Leave behind your portraits of the dead,
18.With no regrets.
19.What were you born for, anyway?
20.A sorrowful parade of monsters.
21.Come on, let’s prepare for an unstoppable rampage
22.That’ll make us laugh out loud.23.
24.Boiling over in this unsteady state,
25.I dream of spewing out
26.Every word lodged in my throat,
27.Striking and gouging at you.
28.Count all the individuality
29.You’ve carelessly lost—look,
30.“One, two, three, four…….”
31.There’s not a single word left to say.32.
33.Yeah,
34.Don’t deceive yourself, at least.
35.Mayday,
36.Don’t let your tension drop and lose focus.
37.Deep down, everyone’s already realized it, haven’t they?
38.That this massive “pacification”
39.Is nesting in this town.
40.So why doesn’t anyone say a thing?41.
42.What are you carrying in this world,
43.How do you want to live,
44.What’s making you suffer right now,
45.And what song will make you happy?
46.“Hey, please, by saving me,
47.Save yourself too,” they say,
48.[Uttering nonsense / “You’re my god, oh!!”]49.
50.Yeah,
51.Disrupt the order; no need for restraint.
52.Save the pretty words for later—carve out a path.
53.Even if you close your eyes and ignore it,
54.Eventually, this thing will engulf the town,
55.The world,
56.And turn into a massive [monster]. Isn’t that right??57.
58.Yeah,
59.Go anywhere you want until you can smile again.
60.Yeah,
61.Break it all—leave no trace behind.
62.Yeah,
63.You can become anything—remember that.
64.Yeah,
65.Even if you’re nothing, let your tears fall.66.
67.Yeah, the spiral of love and [destruction/reconciliation/solution].68.
69.Ah,
70.Low and resonant,
71.The stamp of the [march].
72.Devouring both good and evil,
73.The [invasion] march.
74.People, towns—all sing and dance,
75.The [grand parade].
