Assassin's Lullaby

The moon burns, as if about to decay,

And sinks into the dawn

With a constructed face, I draw closer quietly,

Dropping into the darkness

Like prey tied up in a web-

I keep looking up to the sky

A repeating tragedy, A hidden face laughing ominously,

I'll draw this blade

So that I won't lose anything more-

Bury your sullied smile, into the darkness,

Unleash your anger that has no place to go

How much blood and tears have to flow?

Cut through as if offering a prayer-

Staining everything in red again

Fleeting scattering, the voice of my soul,

Is burned onto my ears, where it gnaws away at me,

Black rain comes flowing down

And I stand alone with drenched cheeks-

I'll pull this trigger, so nothing more will be taken from me,

Scream you heart's voice up to the sky

Release a light, free of uncertainty,

How many lives have to be played with?

Make a wish, and shoot it through,

Staining everything in red again.

Drowned in pleasure, the gears continue to go insane,

So that it can't move nothing more-

Risking this life, I'll put an end to it all,

If I can make it out of the labyrinth of sorrow-

How much blood and tears have to flow?

Cut through as if offering a prayer-

Staining everything red again.
