Rules of Nature (Platinum Mix)

The time has come to an end
Yeah – this is what nature planned

Being tracked by a starving beast
Looking for its daily feast
A predator on the verge of death
Close to its last breath
Getting close to its last breath

(Rules of Nature)

And they run when the sun comes up
With their lives on the line
(Alive)
For a while
(No choice)
Gotta follow the laws of the wild
(Alive)
With their lives on the line
(No choice)
Out here only the strong survive

What’s done is done
Survived to see another day
The dance of life
The hunter and the agile prey
No guarantee
Of which of them will succeed
Strong or weak

(yell)

Rules of Nature
Rules of Nature

終わりの時が来た
そうだ これこそが野生の掟だ

今日の獲物を探す
飢えた獣に追われている
飢えて死にかけた捕食者
息を引き取る時が近い
息を引き取る時が近づいている

(それが野生の掟)

命懸けで
陽が昇る時は逃げる
(生きている)
まだまだ
(選択肢はない)
大自然の掟に従うしかない
(生きている)
命懸けで
(選択肢はない)
この世界は弱肉強食だ

済んだことは済んだこと
もう一日を過ごすために生き残った
生命のダンス
狩る者と逃げる者
保証はない
どちらが生き残るか
強くても弱くても

それが野生の掟
それが野生の掟

The Only Thing I Know For Real (Maniac Agenda Mix)

Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I’ve even forgotten my name
I don’t know the season
Or what is the reason
I’m standing here holding my blade
A desolate place
Without any trace
It’s only the cold wind I feel
It’s me that I spite
As I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real

There will be blood-shed
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one left
Will ride upon the dragon’s back
Because the mountains don’t give back what they take
Oh no
There will be blood-shed
It’s the only thing I’ve ever known

Losing my identity
Wondering have I gone insane
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight

壊れた記憶
口にしない真実
自分の名前さえ忘れている
季節も知らない
なぜここに立ち刀を構えているのか
その理由も知らない
痕跡のない
荒れ果てた土地には
冷たい風しか感じるものはない
立ち上がって戦う俺は
自分が憎い
それが唯一の事実

多くの血が流れるだろう
鏡の中の男が頷く
生き残った者だけが
龍の背に乗れる
山が奪ったものは決して返してくれない
本当だ
多くの血が流れるだろう
それが唯一の事実

自分が誰かも知らない
自らの正気を疑う
目の前の真実を見つけ出すために
この山脈を登るしかない
致命的な高さから見下ろし
戦い続ける理由を自覚することはない

Dark Skies (Platinum Mix)

A brave new world rising

I… I can’t believe my eyes
We’ve fallen down
We’re blinded by dark skies

It’s in the way we all exploit the weak
The justice that we seek
Accept the truth to be free

Times have changed
Don’t let fate remain the same
Life… so fleeting
(yell)

The future’s ours to take when we doubt everything
No… no turning back … now!
Now find… find your own path
But don’t…. don’t give in to wrath
(yell)

素晴らしき新世界は来たれり

俺は自分の目を疑う
俺達は落ちぶれてしまった
暗雲の下 俺達は正気を失ってしまった

俺達は弱者から搾取している
正義を求めながら
自由を得るには真実を受け入れろ

時代は変わった
運命を変える時だ
人生は儚い

未来を掴むためには全てを疑え
もう後戻りはできない
今こそ自分の道を見つけ出せ
だが怒りには溺れるな

I’m My Own Master Now (Platinum Mix)

Born
Into a pack
There’s no choice
But take orders to attack
Locked up in chains
I get fed
But the hunger still remains

Not content to live this way
Being led by the blind
Got to plan my dispersal
Time to leave them all behind

Breaking out of my pain
Nothing ventured – nothing gained
I’m my own master now
Bear the mark of my scars
Shedding blood underneath the stars
But I will survive somehow

Oooooooo
Oooooooo

Hear me howl
Time to leave them all behind
I’m my own master now

生まれたのは
群れの中で
選択肢はない
攻撃の命令に
鎖に縛られて
餌をもらっても
飢えは消えない

こんな生き方はもうたくさんだ
先の見えぬ者に導かれるのは
逃亡計画を企てる
全てを捨てて群れから去る時だ

痛みを打ち破れ
危険を冒さねば何も得られない
決めるのは俺自身だ
自らの傷跡を誇れ
夜空の下で血を流しても
なんとか生き延びてやる

(咆吼)

俺の咆吼を聴け
全てを捨てて群れから去る時だ
決めるのは俺自身だ

A Stranger I Remain (Maniac Agenda Mix)

I’ve come here from nowhere
Cross the unforgiving sea
Drifting further and further
It’s all becoming clear to me
But violent winds are upon us and I can’t sleep
Internal temperatures rising
And all the voices won’t recede

I’ve finally found what I was looking for
A place where I can be without remorse
Because I am a stranger who has found
An even stranger war
I’ve finally found what I was looking for
Here I come

La chaleur me dérange
Mais c’est le grincement du bateau qui m’a réveillé

I sharpen the knife
And look down upon the bay
For all of my life
A stranger I remain
A stranger I remain
A stranger I remain

どこからともなく来た私は
荒れた海を渡ってきた
遙か遠くまで漂流して
ようやくわかりかけてきた
けれど激しい風が眠りを妨げる
体温は上昇し
その声は消えない

探し物をやっと見つけた
自責の念に苛まれぬ場所
なぜなら私は
異様な戦いを見つけた異邦人
探し物をやっと見つけた
私はここに来た

この暑さが気に入らない
けれど眠りを妨げたのは船のきしむ音

ナイフを研ぎ
岸を見詰める
私の最期まで
よそ者のまま
よそ者のまま
よそ者のまま

Return to Ashes (Platinum Mix)

Look to history

The politicians say they’re right
And stoke the fire till the ash turns white
They say survival’s everything
But as for me I don’t say a thing

Oh yeah
How long must I still fight
Woah oh
Watching other countries plight
Woah oh

Just look back to history
You will see that it’s filled with greed
The only way to get ahead
Is exploit the weak and to burn your dead
Just look to history

Society in moral decay
Here tomorrow
Or gone today
Oh yeah

We’ll return to ashes one day

歴史を見ろ

政治家は自分が正しいと言いながら
灰が白くなるまで火に油を注ぐ
彼らは生き残ることがすべてだと言う
俺は口を閉ざす

そうだ
俺はいつまで戦い続けるのか

異国の惨状を眺めながら

歴史を紐解けば
全ては欲望に動かされていた
先を行く唯一の方法は
弱者を利用し死者を焼くこと
ただ歴史を見ろ

モラルなき社会
明日はあるのか
今日が最後か
そうだ

俺達もやがて灰に還る

The Stains of Time (Maniac Agenda Mix)
Wash away the anger

Here I stand beneath
The warm and soothing rain
The droplets falling
Gently down on the terrain
Wash away the sorrow
All the stains of time
But there’s no memory
It’s only dry inside

In the mud and sinking deeper
Into a peaceful life

And it will come
Like a flood of pain
Pouring down on me
And it will not let up
Until the end is here
And it will come
Through the darkest day
In my final hour
And it will never rest
Until the clouds are clear
Until it finds my dreams have disappeared

My dreams disappear

怒りを洗い流してくれ

私は立ち続ける
暖かく優しい雨の中に
降り注ぐ滴は
静かに地に落ちる
悲しみを洗い流し
時の染みを洗い流し
記憶は失われ
心は乾いていく

泥濘へと沈んでいく
平和な生活へと

やがて来る
苦しみの洪水のように
私に降り注ぎ
止むことはない
終焉の時まで
やがて来る
暗黒の日に
私の最期の時に
絶対に止まない
暗雲が晴れるまで
夢が消えるまで

夢が消えてゆく

Red Sun (Maniac Agenda Mix)

Red sun
Red sun over paradise
Red sun
Red sun over paradise

Golden rays of the glorious sunshine
Setting down, such a blood-red light
Now the animals slowly retreat
To the shadows – out of sight
Arid breeze blows across the mountains
Giving flight to the birds of prey
In the distance machines come
To transform Eden – day by day

Only love is with us now
Something warm and pure
Find the peace within ourselves
No need for a cure

When the wind is slow
And the fire’s hot
The vulture waits to see what rots
Oh how pretty
All the scenery
This is nature’s sacrifice
When the air blows through
With a brisk attack
The reptile tail ripped from its back
When the sun sets
We will not forget the
Red sun over paradise

Red sun

赫い太陽
楽園の空に輝く赫い太陽
赫い太陽
楽園の空に輝く赫い太陽

壮大な金色の日差しが沈み
血のように赫い光を放つ
獣達はゆっくりと避難する
見えない影の中へ
乾燥した風が山の中に吹き荒れ
猛禽達を飛翔させる
遠くから機械達が日々迫ってくる
天国を破壊するために

私達と共にあるのは
暖かく純粋な愛のみ
自分達の中の平和を見つけたら
治療なんていらない

風がゆっくりと吹いても
炎は熱い
ハゲワシは何かが腐敗するのを待つ
嗚呼 美しい
美しい光景だ
これこそが大自然の賜物
風は吹きすさび
素速い攻撃で
爬虫類の尾が引きちぎられた
太陽が沈む時
忘れられない
楽園の空に輝く赫い太陽

赫い太陽

A Soul Can’t Be Cut (Platinum Mix)

Have you ever slashed a soul to ribbons?
Have you ever believed in a mirage?

My ears are ringing with a sound
Feel the vibrations – my hearts starts to pound (pound, pound)
Give in to darkness, bodies melt
How do we play the cards we’ve been dealt (dealt, dealt)
Beauty – it’s humanity’s greatest sin
Beauty – hiding the beast that lies within

For all our righteous crimes we compensate
But as for me it’s far too late
I can’t deny the voices inside my brain
It’s not a dream – we’re one and the same

You should know that a soul can’t be cut
(Can’t be cut)
No matter what blade you wield
If you follow your own path to justice
(Path to justice)
The brutal truth will be revealed
(Yeah!)

The sound’s getting louder
And louder and louder
And louder and louder
You should know

魂が紐みたいになるまで斬り刻んだことはあるか?
蜃気楼を信じたことはあるか?

耳鳴りがする
振動を感じろ――心臓が脈打つ
闇に身を任せ 身体が溶ける
与えられた手札をどう使う?
美しさ――人類の最大の罪
美しさ――内なる野獣を隠す

正当な犯罪なら償える
だが私は手遅れだ
頭の中の声を無視することはできない
これは夢じゃない――我々は同じ 一つ

魂を斬ることなどできないと知っていたはずだ
(斬ることなどできない)
例えどんな刃物を振ったとしても
自分の信じる道を辿っても
(自分の信じる道)
残酷な真実が明かされるだけだ

あの音がもっと大きくなる
もっともっと大きくなる
もっともっと大きくなる
わかるはずだ

Collective Consciousness (Maniac Agenda Mix)

The unenlightened masses
They cannot make the judgement call
Give up free will forever their voices won’t be heard at all
Display obedience
While never stepping out of line
And blindly swear allegiance
Let your country control your mind
(Let your country control your soul)

Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
When blood and sweat is the real cost
Thinking ceases, the truth is lost
Don’t you worry
You’ll be told exactly what to do
I give my people the lives they need
The righteous will succeed
The fires of greed will burn the weak
So we’ll make freedom obsolete
Making whole the fabric of society
Collective consciousness controlled as you will see

Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul

蒙昧なる大衆
彼らには裁定できない
自らの意志を放棄した彼らの声は聞えない
服従せよ
規則に従い
何も疑わず忠誠を誓えばいい
心を国家に支配させよ
魂を国家に支配させよ

無知のまま生きて
幸せを買え
血と汗が対価なら
思考は停止し真実は失われる
心配はいらない
言われたとおりにすればいい
我が国民に求める人生を与えよう
正しき者は成功する
欲望の炎は弱者を燃やす
自由を時代遅れなものにして
社会は健全になっていく
集合意識の支配によって

魂を国家に支配させよ
魂を国家に支配させよ
魂を国家に支配させよ
魂を国家に支配させよ

It Has To Be This Way (Platinum Mix)

Standing here
I realize
You are just like me
Trying to make history
But who’s to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we’ll both agree
That
Violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way

I’ve carved my own path
You followed your wrath
But maybe we’re both the same
The world has turned
And so many have burned
But nobody is to blame
Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
Beneath the blood stained sand

ここに立ち
俺は気づく
お前も俺と同じ
歴史を作ろうとしている
何が正しくて何が間違っているかなど
誰に決める権利がある
ガードを下げたとき
お互い意見が合うんじゃないかな
何がって
暴力は暴力を生むが
最後にはこうなると決まっている

俺は進むべき道を自分で築いてきた
お前は怒りに任せてきた
お互い似てるんじゃないか
世界は回り
大勢が火傷を負う
だが誰も責められない
俺は不毛の荒れ地を見渡しながら
新たな命が誕生するのを感じる
この血塗られた地の下で
この血塗られた地の下で

The War Still Rages Within

Looking down on the cars on the highway
The stream of tail lights
Everybody advancing together
Do so willingly sacrifice rights
When people accept they’re cogs in the system
Give up free will, conform
Individual pieces of dust swirl together
Become a full storm

Looking down on the burgeoning city
The skyscrapers rise
Even men with the greatest intentions
Start believing their own lies
We can borrow from the future
But eventually someone’s got to pay
The only way out of the cycle
Is to strike out and pave your own way
Yeah

We all fight our own fight
Will you fuel the desire to win
Always struggling with the truth
Of the life that might have been
But no matter how jagged your path is
You’ll always come back to the road
When the dust of battle settles
The war still rages within

ハイウェイを流れる車の河を
テールライトの河を見下ろすと
誰もが流れに沿って進んでいる
正しさを進んで犠牲にしながら
自分がただの歯車であることを認めたら
自由を捨てて型に従うことになる
小さな塵が集い渦を巻き
嵐になる

急成長する都会を
摩天楼を見上げると
最善の意図を持った人々でも
自分の嘘を信じてしまう
未来から借りたものは
誰かが返さなくてはならない
悪循環を絶つには
自らの道を斬り拓くしかない

皆それぞれの戦いがあり
勝ちたいと願うか
あり得たかもしれない人生と
現実と戦いながら
けれど自分の道が険しくとも
お前は必ずそこに戻るだろう
戦いの砂塵が収まったとしても
内なる闘争は続く

The Hot Wind Blowing featuring Ferry Corsten (Platinum Mix)

The hot wind blowing
Jagged lines across the sand
The crumbling buildings
In our minds are all that stand
Just like the buffalo
Blindly following the herd
We try to justify
All the things that have occurred

I don’t know what I’ve been told
But the wishes of the people can’t be controlled
I don’t know what I’ve been told
But the wishes of the people can’t be controlled

Heat of the desert
Dust settles on my face
Without a compass
The soldier knows no disgrace
Out of the ashes
The eagle rises still
Freedom is calling
To all men who bend their will

Here I am
Dirty and faceless
Waiting to heed your instruction
On my own
Invisible warrior
I am a wind of destruction

All men who bend their will

We fight for justice
In a forgotten place
Fulfill our duty
Then vanish without a trace
Don’t need a medal
For all the men we kill
Freedom is calling
To all men who bend their will

Wind of destruction

熱い風が吹きつける
ギザギザの線を砂に描く
倒れた塔が
心の中では建っている
野牛のように
考えず群れを追う
起こった全ての出来事に
我々は言い訳する

何を言われたか知らないが
人々の願いは支配できない
何を言われたか知らないが
人々の願いは支配できない

砂漠の暑さ
俺の顔に砂ぼこりが積もる
コンパスなしの兵士は
屈辱を知らない
灰の中から
鷲は再び舞い上がる
自由が呼んでいる
意志の折れた人々を

俺はここにいる
顔のない汚れた兵士
指示を待っている
一人で
透明兵士
俺は破滅を呼ぶ風

意志の折れた人々

正義のために戦う
この忘れられた場所で
責任を果たして
跡形もなく消える
勲章はいらない
殺した奴の代わりに
自由が呼んでいる
意志の折れた人々を

破壊の風
