Bold and fearless, a white-collared revolution
Forbearing and rustic - a pacifist regime
Rolling two-wheels, with a crest of the Rising Sun
Begone, evil spirits
Through the peripheral lines, darting and dashing
Hurriedly toiling about, no big deal
Young men and women, unmatched among warmongers
As our fleeting world dictates
Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
Even your voice, shall not reach here
Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
From that guillotine, looking down upon
A transcendent universe, gloom of the empyrean
Even the lamenting songs, shall not be heard
The indigo skies, lies faraway yonder
With that ray gun, impale the azures!
The battle-hardened, veiled as an officer
Loitering about with courtesans, truly a wanderlust
That guy, this guy, everybody round up
The Saints' march - one, two, three, four
Passing through under the Zen gate
The blissful lands, driving out evils
Surely the finale will be laded with happiness
In-between the applauding,
Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
Even your voice, shall not reach here
Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
From that guillotine, looking down upon
A transcendent universe, gloom of the empyrean
Even the lamenting songs, shall not be heard
The hills of hope, lies faraway yonder
With that flash grenade, signal the skies!
Through the peripheral lines, darting and dashing
Hurriedly toiling about, no big deal
Young men and women, unmatched among warmongers
As our fleeting world dictates
Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
Even your voice, shall not reach here
Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
From that guillotine, jumping right off!
Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
You shall sing, and I shall dance
Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
Here, with the raygun, do go ballistic!
