Verse 1
I know you're scared 'cause you're running for cover
But you might be running far
And if the demons know you're scared to death
Then they will find you where you are
This verse sets the tone right away. It talks about fear and how it can chase you down no matter how far you run. The mention of demons symbolizes personal struggles or anxieties that can feel overwhelming. It’s a reminder that avoiding problems doesn’t make them disappear; instead, they often catch up with you.
Chorus
With this rage inside of me
君に届け
君に届け
Maybe now we can kill the enemy
とても厳しい
Stand up and make your move
Let the fire carry on
Let the power go from me to you
The chorus shifts the focus to empowerment. It expresses that there’s a burning rage that can transform fear into strength. The repeated phrase "君に届け" (which means "I want to reach you") emphasizes the desire to connect with someone and share that power. It’s about standing together against challenges and taking action, pushing through the fear.
Verse 2
I need a friend that'll never betray me
There's no time like where we are
I'm so bored, I don't care for the consequence
So I'll come find you where you are
This verse highlights the importance of trust and companionship. Feeling betrayed can deepen the fear, making the search for a loyal friend even more critical. The line about being bored shows a sense of urgency to act, even if it’s risky. It suggests that when you’re facing demons, you’re willing to take risks to find support.
Chorus
Is it a sin if I wish for destruction?
Is it a call that I can make?
And I hail for the wrath of crimson on the faces in my way
And it goes from me to you
Here, the chorus again emphasizes the power of rage. The idea of wishing for destruction can be seen as a way to confront and eliminate obstacles. It’s raw and intense, showing that sometimes, anger can fuel the fight against what holds us back. The connection to another person is still present, suggesting that this fight can be shared.

'Cause if the end is a promise
It's still looking up
I cannot rest 'til you're fucking breathless
As the strong intention has been justified
Hung from the edges, you'll rest with your lies
Rest with your lies
The outro leaves us with a sense of defiance and determination. It talks about looking towards the future, despite everything that’s happened.

I know you're scared 'cause you're running for cover
But you might be running far
And if the demons know you're scared to death
Then they will find you where you are
Is there a virus infecting your system?
Have the cuts left an animal mark?
That will make you one of us
And we will never, never, never be apart
The evil has its motive
And now so do I
And I'll hold you to your fragile alibi
With this rage inside of me
君に届け
君に届け
Maybe now we can kill the enemy
とても厳しい
Stand up and make your move
Let the fire carry on
Let the power go from me to you
From me to you
I need a friend that'll never betray me
There's no time like where we are
I'm so bored, I don't care for the consequence
So I'll come find you where you are
Is it a sin if I wish for destruction?
Is it a call that I can make?
And I hail for the wrath of crimson on the faces in my way
And it goes from me to you
I've had enough from your mouth
You can shove it
'Cause you know you don't stand a chance
With this rage inside of me
君に届け
君に届け
Maybe now we can kill the enemy
とても厳しい
Stand up and make your move
Let the fire carry on
Let the power go from me to you
闇を抜け 光と共に終わりを告げた時
僕はただ 絶望を彷徨うのさ
You're doing this wrong
'Cause if the end is a promise
It's still looking up
I cannot rest 'til you're fucking breathless
As the strong intention has been justified
Hung from the edges, you'll rest with your lies
Rest with your lies
With this rage inside of me
君に届け
君に届け
With this rage inside of me (inside of me)
君に届け(君に届け)
君に届け(敵を倒す)
Maybe now we can kill the enemy (kill the enemy)
とても厳しい
Stand up and make your move
Let the fire carry on
Let the power go from me to you
From me to you
