Dying Breed

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Akihito Kinoshita

All those days, all those years
I still dream
The things that I could be

Demonstration of my life
Absolution, who am I inside

It came in like a wrecking ball
A doorway at the end of inner soul

Look at me
What you see is not me
Just an empty hole

I made a vow to the lord
For better or for worse, lord

Just this time - Leave me be
Just in time - Oh please, make my life complete
Just this time - Let me be me

I was meant to leave tonight, I am your shadow
I'm your shelter for tomorrow
Never repenting, with this heart unbreaking

And this night, the honor is mine

Dry your tears now, eyes to me
We will meet again
This is my redemption, this is my relief
Someday

I was made to die for you, I'll be your cover
I'm your bullet, I'm your armor
Never repenting, with this heart unbreaking
Let go of my hand, for now

Let me die for you, this night


Sin Eater

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Yasuharu Tanaka

I've lived ten thousand years
To give your soul relief
My feast of sighs and tears
Come, stay close to me

I bless your life and death
I curse your love and hate
Just pray for all your sins
Then I'll devour

"I want it" "Never had it" - Fatal aberration
"I want it" "Never had it" - Bitter conversation
"I want it" "Never had it" - Poor imagination

"I want more" - Discommunication

"Do it" "You did it" - You did it again

Let it go
Close your eyes and let your body flow
Lay your soul down
Feel me breathe inside so deep
The burning pain and smile I see
are all you leave behind

What's life? What is a life?
A lonely traveler in time
Dreams never fade
God, release my mind
I'm not allowed to die
Alone again

In everlasting life

Making the same mistakes again
Why do we keep regretting
I possess the key of light, forgiveness
I'll be your shadow
And you will never know

Dreams never fade till the end
What's life? What is a life?
I'll never know

Traveler in time
The meaning of my life
Everlasting life


Act Of Heroism

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Akihito Kinoshita

I remember now, I started the fight
I remember now, uprising tonight
Without any consideration
I can't take it anymore

I hate your face, I hate that grin
Hate the way you talk when you win
Hate those weary eyes
Truly, I despise

No matter how good you look
It's not what you know
It's not written in The Good Book
It's what you can prove

I remember I decided to go
I remember that was a long time ago
Without any destination
I can't take it anymore

I hate your tie, I hate your shoes
Hate the way you cry when you lose
Hate that excuse
So glad I'm not you

Doesn't matter what others think of me
Don't really care about cowards trying to get away

Doesn't matter how bad it hurts
I don't care about all the bridges you burnt
'cause it's not worth overthinking

I'm walking towards the gallows
I've gone, to get it all
I know what I live for
I'm so hard to follow
Just get out of my way
I'm walking towards the gallows

No matter how good you look
It's not what you know
It's not written in The Good Book
Turn back and face the wall
It's not the lives you took
It's what you can prove after the fall

I'm walking towards the gallows
I've gone, to get it all
You'll never know
I'm so hard to follow
No I'm not like you
So glad I'm not you

My God, you are so shallow
I've gone, to get it all
Hard to follow
Just get out of my way
I'm walking towards the gallows


Dreadout

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Yasuharu Tanaka

Dreadout - The night is too long, the moon is gone
Dreadout - Nowhere to go

Haunted by sad memories
Persistent pain, dark silent ring
Underrated, desecrated
Emptiness

My blood, my honor
I swallowed a lie when I closed my eyes
Chains of horror
Delete and rewrite my life
I'll disappear

Dreadout - Out on the street alone, not anymore
Dreadout - So freezing cold

Why did I have to give away my pride?
Did I miss my chance to live my own life?
When and why did I have to give away my pride?
The light, chase the light

I'll never say there was no joy at all
That wasn't bad enough
I'll never say I had no hope at all
That wasn't hard enough for me
I'll never say there were no love at all
That wasn't cruel enough
I'll never say there was no faith at all
I was a real purebred

Line of descent
Mother, father, daughter and son
Stopped pretending
I was the only one


One Last Time

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Yasuharu Tanaka

Last night - I planted a tree
Sunrise - I'm digging a well for me
Black scars - All over my face
Knowing this land won't last this day

Restless - Like a poison in me
Aimless - Like a poet without a fear
Black tide - I'm setting the sail
Knowing this ship won't last this day

The last one, everyone's done
A race unknown
Left behind in this world below
I can never struggle too long
So far away from home
Nobody knows

But I'll never lose hope
I grabbed the rope
You know I'll never let it go
One bite, one last time
This is my last try
I'll seek the end of all things

It's near

Fly hard
Dive to be free from anonymity
We are all designers of ingenuity
May end up in the electric chair
But the world is unfair
And nobody cares

So I'll never lose hope
I grabbed the rope
You know I'm never gonna let it go
One bite, one last time
This is the last chance I'll seek

A mortal weakness
See what there is to see
No voices in the street
Total sickness
What do you plan to eat?
You've cut down all those trees

Killing business
You know you've killed'em all
No more fish in the sea
Never asking why
All that matters is m-o-n-e-y


Just-World Hypothesis

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Akihito Kinoshita

Why poverty?
Are you the master or the slave?
Or, are you weeping under the grave?
You got your share

We're living in the world of equality
The only reason to believe
is what you earn and what you deserve
I know what made me, what makes me me

Living in an ideal - Just world

White liberty
This is the game that we all play
The strong do eat, the weak will be meat
Which one's the victim in this cage

You'll know it when you defeat

Obey me
Watch me I'm the winner
I'm gonna take it all

Fear me
You know you're the loser
Back to where you belong

Living in an ideal - Just world
We are all dying with our dream - Just world

You still think nothing is fair
But still you got your share

Living in an ideal - Just world
We are all dying with our dream
And pain that makes you real

Living in an ideal, we're free
Inside this world
We are all dying with our dream - Just world

I stand alone in this empty room
Did it all on my own
Stand alone in this room with a view
Stand alone, on my own


What I Used To Be

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Akihito Kinoshita

I serpent blue
I'm dwelling in deep ocean
No fear but pain, violent emotions
Disgusting greed
And anger inside me is killing me

Life - Death - Live, die again
Life - Death - Die and live again

I eagle red
I'm leaping from the sky
My deathly eyes will shine a light
I'm breathing fire
Hunting everything, eat them alive

How can I forgive myself?
I want to return to what I used to be
Can I forgive the things I did?

Unstopping, unending cycle of my life

I poisoned green
I'm bleeding toxication
Releasing virus to the nation
I'm watching people comimg by
To die by suicide

I spider black
Inside the secret ruins
No one must know, nothing is moving
Forsaken land, falling asleep
I'm falling off the edge

I'm waiting for dawn to my dying day
Crying in the rain with my only friend
Waiting for dawn, first ray of liberty
Watching my life go by in the night

I can not feel anything
I am not what I used to be

Unrelenting, unending cycle of my life

Can't remember anything
Not what I used to be
Can't remember anything
I am not what I used to be


Shameless

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Yasuharu Tanaka

You'll never need it
Didn't ever need it
You'll never like it
Just took it all

You'll never want it
Didn't ever want it
You're not above the law

How did it all go wrong?
The shame of it all
You cheat, you steal, you take it away
And you lose everything

Fearless is another word
You just close your eyes to the truth

You'll never use it
Didn't ever use it
You'll never love it
Just took it all

You'll never want it
Didn't ever want it
Totally against the law

When did it all go wrong?
The shame of it all
You grab, you steal, you take it away
You lose again

Now, you are all alone
No one will love you any more
No place to hide your soul
You'll pay the price and realize

With lies and hate - Drag me, grind me down
Grief and fame - A pile of broken dreams
Corrupted to the core - You're out of luck
Grief and fame - A time of reckoning

Heartless and cold
You're so heartless and cold

Who do you think you are?
Who are you?

How can you sleep at night?
Can someone live without a heart like you?
Your game is over now
You've hated everyone
Because you hate yourself too


An Endless End: Another Time

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Akihito Kinoshita

Here we are

We're hiding from the sun
Holding hands, we're on the run
So alone, we are one

Surrounded by a sacred wall
Victimized by inner war
All along, we were the only ones

How long can we stay?
We will never belong
'til we're all dead and gone

Heartache
We are climbing over a mountain of rubble

Heartache
We are hunted by the children of the shadow

Every night I feel the dread
After I lay down in bed
Every day, you're beside me

Every night I hoped to die
After I close my eyes
Every day, you're beside me

All those words you gave to me
are the only reason I can live

Every night I make mistakes
Every time I try to fake
Every day I fail

So, this is our life
Our days
This is our life
No one takes it away

You can hear my heart cry
I see faith in your lies
I can see no stars tonight
Nothing, I can't see at all

We are standing on the edge of a broken paradise
We are stuck in time, but still have another chance for life
We are holding on to something that we'll never find
Ain't no perfect world, we all are trying to make it right

You can hear my heart cry
I see faith in your lies
I can hear your heart cry
No going back now

I am on my way - We can start again
On this final day - It's the only way
I am on my way - We can start again
On this final day - Even the sky is gray

In this darkest night
On this path of light
In this darkest night
To an endless end


Devastation Trail

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Akihito Kinoshita

Backwards, daily routine
Angry and mean
Too in love with your own words
Going insane, light up the flame

"How come?" "My world should not be like this"
"Like this" "Like that"

Black heart, ugly but pure
Hungry for more
Too much in love with your own words
Who should be blamed, screaming the name

"How come?" "My world should not be like this"

"Hear me" "I'm righteous in all"
"Should not be like this"
"No, I will never let go"

"It's gotta be my way"

Keep hiding in the interspace
Not showing up, no guts to face

Eliminate - Strain and the bane
Own enemy
Illuminate - Shine in the night
Honest and clean

Inside the screen

Hyperactive, observation
Imperfective, human system
So afraid of making changes
Ego spanning, devastation trail

Maze - Seeds of the crime
Twisted beliefs - Inside the screen

So afraid of facing changes
Some day you will see
The weight of the world
The way of the world


Afterglow

Lyrics Fubito Endo / Music Yasuharu Tanaka

Is there anyone who has never lied before?
Anyone who has never failed before?
Anyone who never had one to love?
Cherish, care and adore?

You never really know
'til your heart explodes
We're just not the same anymore
They're tearing us apart, one by one

How much blood do we need to stay alive
It's never gone this far
I cannot bear it any longer
How much blood must we give
In order to survive
Or maybe we just don't care anymore

The brighter side of humanity
is the darker side of our purity
We are dying inside quietly

Harder than it's ever been
Far beyond propriety
We choose to reject apology
So it goes, the circle never ends

Living in the afterglow
Clinging to the life we lost
No one shields us from the storm
Searching for the God that we will never reach

Why can't we just leave and let it go?
Why can't we forgive them and just forget it all?
We don't belong here anymore
We're living in the afterglow

Our choices


Ship Of Theseus
