Source: lyrical-nonsense Kanji = The hidden jealousy 止めどないこの想いだけが　消せない炎のように燈り続ける

deceptive smile

まやかしの笑み浮かべ　戯けるサーカスのまるでピエロ 救いの声でさえも　聞こえないYaiYaiYai… 才を持たぬ者達　レクイエムを歌い始めている 嫉妬心悪夢から　出られないYaiYaiYai…

朧月　照らし出す　対の影

The hidden jealousy 変われない世界で　祈りを捧げ続けてゆこう The hidden jealousy 止めどないこの想いだけが　消せない炎のように燈り続ける

deceptive smile

解せない世の理　浮いてるサーカスのまるでピエロ 賢人の戯れ事は　届かないYaiYaiYai… 不適合者羨望は　暴かれず真実を霧の中 巻きついた足枷が　ほどけないYaiYaiYai…

宵闇の　包み込む　狂気の沙汰

The hidden jealousy 変われない世界で　この血を捧げ続けてゆこう The hidden jealousy 止めどないこの想いだけが　消せない運命の中で遵い続ける

deceptive smile

双璧の　マリアージュ　響かせて　oh yeah 終わることのない旅路ならば これからも共に生きて行こう 幾千もの夜を越えてきた僕らは community bound together by a common destiny

The hidden jealousy 変われない世界で　イノチを捧げ続けてゆこう The hidden jealousy 止めどないこの想いだけが 消せない炎のように　心に遵い続け　燈り続ける

deceptive smile English = The hidden jealousy This unstoppable feeling is like the inextinguishable flame inside me, it just keeps on shining

deceptive smile

I play the fool with a fake smile on my face, like a clown out of place in a circus I can't even hear the voices trying to save me, no I, can't can't can't can't can't, I can't hear them Because of those who lack on talent have started singing their requiem This jealousy of mine doesn't let me wake up from this nightmare, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't let me

A hazy moon illuminates this pair of shadows

The hidden jealousy I keep on praying on this never changing world The hidden jealousy This unstoppable feeling is like the inextinguishable flame inside me, it just keeps on shining

deceptive smile

Without understanding the rules of this world, I'm like a clown out of place in a circus Wise people's nonsense can't can't can't can't can't can't can't, can't reach me The outcasts don't let out their envy, leaving the truth hidden in the mist I can't free myself from the shuckles wrapped around me, no, no, no, no, no, no, I can't

This sheer madness is engulfed by the twilight

The hidden jealousy I keep on sacrificing my blood on this never changing world The hidden jealousy This unstoppable feeling is like the inextinguishable destiny we're in that I keep complying with

deceptive smile

Let them resonate, the matchless and well paired duo If this is a never ending journey, Let's keep on living together We, the ones who have gone through a thousand nights, are a community bound together by a common destiny

The hidden jealousy I keep on sacrificing myself on this never changing world The hidden jealousy This unstoppable feeling is just like the inextinguishable flame inside me, that while I comply with my heart, just keeps on shining

deceptive smile
