English

Foul child, bastard and beast

O lost lamb, first to the feast

Come claim if you're able

A spot at this table

Mild and meek, down on your knees

For hide and seek. It's time that we feed

Your heart is racing, blood is running cold

Your fractured will is whispering (fly away, fly away)

Far Away

Here be lions

Say goodnight

With each bite does your sanity die

Sucking the life out, letting the dark

Inside

Say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes

Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you

Scream

Now Scream

Scream

Pseudo suicide, don't choke on your pride

Scream

Now scream

Now. Scream.

Yeah, I'm gonna watch you bleed

Flensed and flayed, how does it feel?

Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal, no

Lost in suffering, drowning in your tears

Won't someone, somewhere tell me (where do I, where do I)

Go from here

Be the lion

Say goodnight

With each bite does your sanity die

Sucking the life out, letting the dark

Inside

Say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes

Or scream all you like, the gods can't hear you

Dressed in rage

Inside my cage

My pandemonium

Still bound to the flame that I bear

Buried alive

In the coffin of who I used to be

I'll scream all I like, 'cause we're all mad here

(Slumbering, tumbling)

(Wandering, wondering)

(Suffering, hungering)

Forever falling into my mind

Deeper, deeper down 'til I

Say goodnight

To the shadow I left far behind

I'm just a stranger, we are all strange

Inside

You can run but there's nowhere to hide

So scream all you like, no one can hear us

Follow me (Follow me)

Come follow me (Follow me)

To Pandemonium

Still bound to the flame that I bear (There's)

No release (Rescue me)

From this empty, waking wonderland (Rescue me)

So scream if you like, 'cause we're all mad here

Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

Japanese translation

忌むべき子、出来損ない、まるで獣

そう、お前よ、迷える子羊　饗宴へ一番乗りね

足を踏み出して

席につきなさい

大人しく従順に跪くの

さあ、かくれんぼの時間よ　食事が始まるわ

鼓動は早まり、血は冷え切っていく

砕かれた理性が囁く（逃げて、逃げて）

遠くへ

此処に獅子あり

さあ、お眠りなさい

牙が食い込む度、正気が失われていく

生が吸い取られ、代わりに闇が

中へと潜り込むの

その目から光が失せたら、祈りを捧げましょう

好きなだけ叫べばいいわ　あなたの神々は聞いちゃいないけど

叫んで

そう、叫んで

叫べ

プライドを喉に詰まらせていないで　死ぬつもりなの？

叫んで

そう、叫んで

はやく叫んで

嗚呼、お前が血を流すところを見せて

皮を剥がれ、脂肪を削がれ、どんな気分？

肉塊まで捧げ、傷跡はいつまでも癒えやしない

苦痛の中で彷徨い、涙に溺れているわ

誰かいないの、ねえ教えて（私は何処へ、何処へ）

此処から、私は

獅子へと至る

さあ、お眠りなさい

牙が食い込む度、正気が失われていく

生が吸い取られ、代わりに闇が

中へと潜り込むの

その目から光が失せたら、祈りを捧げましょう

好きなだけ叫べばいい、神々には決して届かない

激情を身に纏い

鳥籠の中

我がパンデモニウムの中

奥底に潜む炎に縛られている

生き埋めにされてしまったわ

「かつての私」という棺桶に

好きなだけ叫ぶの、どうせ皆正気を失っているのだから

（微睡み、転がり）

（彷徨い、悶え）

（苦しみ、飢えて）

永遠に、心は堕ちていく

深く、深く、眠りにつくまで

さあ、お眠りなさい

置き去りにした面影よ

此処は私の居場所じゃない、皆どうかしてるのよ

この中へ

逃げても、隠れるところはない

いくら叫んでも、誰にも届かない

ついてきて（おいで）

私についてきて（おいで）

パンデモニウムへ

奥底に潜む炎に縛られている（ねぇここよ）

逃れられない（私を助けて）

この空っぽで醒めきった奇異の國からは（私を助けて）

望むのなら叫べばいいわ、どうせ皆正気を失っているのだから

好きなだけ叫びましょう、どうせ皆正気を失っているのだから
