The Endless Enigma (Part 2)
Why do you stare
Do you think that I care
You've been mislead
By the thoughts in your head
睨みつけても無駄だ
自分の妄想に酔っているんだろう
Your words waste and decay
Nothing you say
Reaches my ears anyway
You never spoke a word of truth
嘘まみれの戯言(ざれごと)に
耳を貸す奴などいない
Why do you think
I believe what you said
Few of your words
Ever enter my head
おまえの虚言が通用するとでも
思っているのか
I'm tired of hypocrite freaks
With tongues in their cheeks
Turning their eyes as they speak
They make me sick and tired
口角泡を飛ばし
目は泳ぎ
息を吐くように嘘をつく
そんな連中は見飽きた
Are you confused
To the point in your mind
Though you're blind
Can't you see you're wrong
いくら目が節穴でも
間違っていることぐらい
わかっているだろう
Won't you refuse to be used
Even though you may know
I can see you're wrong
自分が利用されていることも
知ったうえでの芝居なのか
Please, please,
Please open their eyes
Please, please,
Please don't give me lies
いいかげん目を醒ませ
嘘はたくさんだ
I ruled all of the earth
Witnessed my birth
Cried at the sight of a man
And still I don't know who I am
この地球全体が俺の誕生を見届け涙した
だが自分が何者なのか未だわからない
I've seen paupers as kings
Puppets on strings dance
For the children who stare
You must have seen them everywhere
馬の骨が権力を握る
操り人形となり
子どもたちの見ている前で踊る
ありふれた茶番劇
Each part was played
Though the play was not shown
Everyone came
But they all sat alone
芝居は続く
幕の向こう側で
観客が揃っても
皆ばらばらに座っているだけ
The dawn opened the play
Waking the day
Causing a silent hooray
The dawn will break another day
日が昇るたび
茶番が繰り広げられ
無言の喝采がさざめく
Now that it's done
I've begun to see
The reason why I'm here
もう終わりにしよう
ようやく自分のレゾンデートルが
わかりはじめた気がする
