Lyrics
大胆不敵にハイカラ革命
With a bold and sudden calling, Western Revolution’s starting
磊々落々(らいらいらくらく)
Let our hearts be open to it
反戦国家
Pacifist nation
日の丸印の二輪車転がし
Riding on a penny-farthing, it’s the flag of our sun rising,
悪霊退散 ICBM
Warding evil spirits like an ICBM
環状線を走り抜けて
On the train tracks, running along the line,
東奔西走なんのその
let us move forward. Don’t look behind.
少年少女戦国無双
Boys and girls becoming like samurai
浮世の随(まにま)に
just like those from our previous life
千本桜 夜ニ紛レ
Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ
Though I can’t hear your voice, keep what I say in mind -
此処は宴 鋼の檻
This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see,
その断頭台で見下ろして
Looking down at us from that big guillotine
三千世界 常世之闇(とこよのやみ)
Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know
嘆ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ
The lament that you sing can’t reach ears anymore
青藍(せいらん)の空 遥か彼方
We are still far away from reaching clear blue skies
その光線銃で打ち抜いて
Go ahead, keep shooting, with that ray gun, fight!
百戦錬磨の見た目は将校
Veterans who’ve trained through struggles are now officers in battle
いったりきたりの花魁(おいらん)道中
Here and there, we see the harlots in procession
アイツもコイツも皆で集まれ
This one, that one, doesn’t matter, every single person gathers
聖者の行進 わんっ つー さん しっ
March on to our saintly deaths now! 1, 2, san, shi
禅定門(ぜんじょうもん)を潜り抜けて
Passing through the gates on the mountain peaks,
安楽浄土厄払い
Escaping this world, kill all the evil fiends
きっと終幕(さいご)は大団円
Surely this will end in a denouement
拍手の合間に
Among the crowds giving their applause
千本桜 夜ニ紛レ
Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ
Though I can’t hear your voice, keep what I say in mind -
此処は宴 鋼の檻
This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see,
その断頭台で見下ろして
Looking down at us from that big guillotine
三千世界 常世之闇(とこよのやみ)
Darkness has just engulfed the universe we know
嘆ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ
The lament that you sing can’t reach ears anymore
希望の丘 遥か彼方
We are still far away from reaching peaks of hope
その閃光弾を打ち上げろ
Go ahead, keep shooting, use the flashing bolt!
環状線を走り抜けて
On the train tracks, running along the line,
東奔西走なんのその
let us move forward. Don’t look behind.
少年少女戦国無双
Boys and girls becoming like samurai
浮世の随(まにま)に

君ノ声モ届カナイヨ
Though I can’t hear your voice, keep what I say in mind -
此処は宴 鋼の檻
This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see,
その断頭台を飛び降りて
Leaping down to us from that big guillotine
千本桜 夜ニ紛レ
Thousands of cherry blossoms dwindling in the light
君が歌い僕は踊る
Once your song can be heard, we’ll dance with all our might
此処は宴 鋼の檻
This bouquet that surrounds is iron poison, see,
さあ光線銃を撃ちまくれ
Go ahead, keep shooting, with that ray gun, lead!
