Bakamitai - English Cover

I know I've been a fool, I've been so immature Chased a dream, but let go after getting burned It's an old and diehard habit, I know Just to lie to me, and let me smile alone

"I love you" was something you'd never say Looking for the truth just led to further pain Even so, why do I sit and sigh? Is it too late now, to say goodbye?

What was the point? What's the use of me trying, then? I know that I still love you more than anything No matter how much I drink I just can't forget All the memories, turning cold and cruel I've been a fool.

Yes, I've been a fool, a blinded idiot I believed in you and paid the price for it I pretend that I'm invincible In reality, I'm numb with bitter cold

I've been thinking back, thinking of times long ago Voices in the wind, people I used to know Even so, why can't I just be strong? I can't bring myself to just move on...

Seriously, it's the worst, it's no good at all I'll take the ring that you gave me and cast it off That's what I want, yet it's something I just can't do I'm still in the past, still in love with you I've been a fool.

Adabana Necromancy (Zombieland Saga OP - TV Size) - English Cover

Forgotten souls in the grave, faded from memory Make a return from beyond, chasing impossible dreams

Be honest And want it Until the end, until the end, reach out your hand And stand once again!

Oh, dying bloom in the night Shamble and struggle against the light Embrace the hunger within that’s seeking glory, Show them your dignity survived! So leave behind your regret Forget the limits of mortal death You’re breaking out of the darkness, screaming freedom, cut it away until there’s truly nothing left!

The flame of revolution races through your body Defy your fate, the destiny shackled upon ya, Tear the world asunder with your… saga! Saaaaaaaga!

Weakness

Run. 

I cannot stand here, I am too weak.

The fear grips my throat, turns my hands to ash.

Stepping forward to be brave is impossible. Painful.

I have to turn away. Run. 

Unknowing witness. Powerless.

Blind myself. Deafen myself.

I do not know.

I cannot turn on myself fully.

Not yet.

Run.

Run.

FPS (SoraMafuUraSaka ft. Knives Out) - English Cover

Red = Sakata, Blue = Soraru, Green = Uratanuki, Pink = Mafumafu

[Black = Multiple at once]

Wander where horizons meet the earth, Survivor, a sniper A hundred rag-tags, scattered in the sky and dirt "The door is stuck, I'm sorry, sir!"

AR blast, then shotgun to the face Clearing the foes, a free-roam This is a battle where the strongest set the pace "Wait a sec, how the heck do I reload?"

Walls are closing quickly (Bang, bang!) Sniping's made me sickly (Bang, bang!) Pad my back-brace thickly (Bang, bang!) "They're all around us!" "Got it, I'll shoot 'em down!"

Running through the mud, into bullets, blood, and thunder! Clicking heads like it's all I've ever lived for Holding onto scars from despair that drags me under My life experience is nothing more! Put your hands up now, 'cause we've got you in our crosshairs End your life with a single button press, Shoot 'em up, and knock them down, FPS!!!!

("Nice work, Sakata." "I'm glad that worked!" "You two still alive?" "Urata! Great, now there's no need to- WAAAGH!!" "What? What was that!?" "Sorry, I accidentally fired..." "..." "SAKATA!!!")

No kill, no life, feel your weapons buzz The cooler things look good on me Our situation's simply do-or-die because The road ahead is a total mystery!

Acrophobia's daunting (Look down!) Crappy signal haunts me (What now!?) Hundred strangers spawning (This crowd...!) "I'm gonna rush them!" "Yeah, good luck with that!"

Kneel before your god, can't you see you're all beneath me? If you don't tremble, then you must be a madman Dreaming of a world where you're reaching for a victory? Your fate is dangling from my right hand! [Whistling] "Sorry, I'm dead, they got me, R-I-P!" ("What!?")

("HEY! How could you die when we needed you!?" "I'm sorry!" "You're seriously no help at all!" "Forgive me!" "Now's not the time to argue! There's just four of them, and four of us!"

"They saw us! Get to cover!" "We can't win without teamwork!" "Where are they!?" "I see them! Sakata, go right! Soraru, you've got the left! Mafu, I need you to cover me!" "ROGER!!!!")

Running through the mud, into bullets, blood, and thunder! Clicking heads is the only thing I can do Falling on my ass, injuries with every blunder, That's how I wanna spend my time with you! Any time and place, I will follow right beside you, You've got my back, and until the final breath, We'll be shooting until dawn, FPS!!!! Fight to the death!!!!

KING (Kanaria) - English Cover

A clever one’s been snared in your strings Oh you’re such a pain, my stubborn darling So hey, stop! I don’t know a thing Just give it a rest, your cruelty stings

The wishes of the people ‘round us of reek of irony They’re all the same, mechanical, it’s like an iron sea A tidal wave of crazy’s rising, nowhere left to go So beat the rush to lead this first-time happy show!

The time has come, the hour’s done, I don’t have anything Control is spiraling away without a warning, warning I’ll make an effort, here’s a little gift from me to you Just a little thing I want you to do…

Left side! Right side!  Baring your fangs, and now I’m trapped!  Pra-pa-pa, oh how embarassing Left side! Right side!  Your fangs are showing, just like that!  Pra-pa-pa… HAHA!  YOU ARE KING!  YOU ARE KING!

I see you playing innocent, acting like you’re my darling, darling And when you laugh, it makes me smile, so I forget that I’m still falling Then when I die, I’ll disappear, fading away without a frown Lo-lo-love, a ra-ta-tat, I hate the way I’m pinned down for the count

Here we are again, and I still don’t have anything It’s the same old story, back without a warning, warning Once again, I’ll leave a parting gift from me to you Just a little thing I want you to do…

Left side! Right side! Baring your fangs, let’s dance again! Pra-pa-pa, oh how so bothersome Left side! Right side! Your fangs are showing, guess you win! Pra-pa-pa… HAHA! YOU ARE KING! 

YOU ARE KING!

Set Me Free

This burning within me, this festering pain

I want to be freed from these lingering stains

I struggle and struggle again to move on

And yet I am still bound in chains

Spikes driven harshly and deep through my chest

Rooted and rusted in shards of regret

Cursing my weakness as I lie awake

I’m still a prisoner yet

Oh, to carve, carve out my heart

Leave nothing there so I cannot be harmed

Oh to be colder, to kill my naivety 

Build up an armor, protected by scars

How I wish that I were a wiser me

Freed from this quicksand of poisonous misery

Forcing a smile, pose for the crowd

Sink to my knees again, broken and bowed. 

Wonderland

I stepped in alone, unsure what was waiting

A land full of wonder and light

With songs playing loudly and free as the wind,

Those voices that filled me with life

They lifted me up, we danced and we laughed, 

I thought it was too good to last

Then as I looked up, I saw the smoke rising

As my wonderland burned to ash

Why, oh why? Why can’t we be happy?

The world that I love keeps on fading away

Surely, this is naught but a nightmare

And it’ll be better when I wake next day.

Waving goodbye,

Saying farewell,

Friends come and gone,

Leaving nothing but hell

Standing in rubble,

Burned for naivety

Castles I trusted

Reduced to a shell

Why, oh why? Why can’t we be happy?

The world that I love keeps on fading away

Surely, this is naught but a nightmare

And it’ll be better when I wake next day.

Starfall

You were bright, shining, charming

A rising star amongst a sea of gold

We barely knew you, so young

Before you had to say goodbye

And while we may not see you now

I know that you are out there

Flying, soaring, freed

A comet streaking through the sky

Past the stormclouds,

As even the thunder is left in stunned silence

I can imagine you there

Leaving a trail of glittering stardust

With a song that never dies.

And if you do return one day

We shall be waiting, waiting,

With open arms and tearful smiles.

Ahoy! We Be The Houshou Pirate Gang! (Short Version) - English Cover

If ye be seaworthy, yo-ho! Join in our dance with a yo-ho! Now, we’re gathering under the flag… Of the Houshou Pirate Gang! Set sail!

Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy! Keep dancing, ahoy! Come see us ahoy! (’Hoy ‘hoy!) Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy! ’Hoy ‘hoy ‘hoy! Raise anchor, full speed ahead!

Setting sail (setting sail!), ‘cause the sun is shining, and treasure is calling out our names With a cheer (with a cheer!), we’ll break the tension, our mood is supreme as we embark on the waves On the sea, it’s a girls’ party; on the shore, all the lads are happy! (Woo woo!) In the bright sky above is our flag, flying and free

We’re the proud… Houshou Pirate Gang! Set sail… full ahead!

Kenshi Yonezu - “Lemon” English Cover

(This cover is dedicated to Mano Aloe.)

Wouldn’t it be nice, to wake and find that it was all a dream Even now, I still remember all the ways that things could’ve been With my fingertips, I brush the dust off thoughts from long ago As I follow all these memories, they’re leading me back home I recall the way you taught me how to smile despite the pain In a time back in the past, in a day that I can’t reclaim And the dark that I was hiding under covered up my sins Without you, I would have never found the light that laid within

Now, I’m drowning in pain again, more than I’ve ever felt before I can’t stand up all on my own, can’t take it anymore

Even though I’m dying here without you, even though I’m crying thinking ‘bout you I can’t help but smile through all these painful memories ‘cause they’re of you When I breathe it feels so bittersweet, and I can taste the lemons on the breeze And I know I can’t find my way back until the pain has eased, But I also know inside my heart that your light’s still with me

When I close my eyes, I see it there, your silhouetted back It’s an outline that I know, familiar even in the black When I wake again, my heart is crushed by lingering despair And my tears well up again because I know that you’re not there

What was it you were going through? What was it you were looking for? With a look that I couldn’t read, I don’t know anymore

If you’re somewhere out there, pained and crying, if you’re out there and your heart is dying Trapped inside a cage of lonely suffering, if you’re the same as me Please forget about me, break your chains, and leave it all behind and spread your wings That’s my only wish, with all my heart, I wish that you were free I can live on by myself because your light is here with me

Since that day, I’ve thought of you I loved you with all my heart More than I had ever known, Now my life’s been torn apart Even though we stood there side-by-side Why does it feel like a lie? Even so, I can’t, I won’t forget It’s the only thing I have left…

Even though I’m dying here without you, even though I’m crying thinking ‘bout you, I can’t help but smile through all these painful memories ‘cause they’re of you When I breathe it feels so bittersweet, and I can taste the lemons on the breeze And I know I can’t find my way back until the rain has eased, You’re the other half, without you here my life feels incomplete But I also know inside my heart that your light’s still with me.

Witch Trial

Stand atop a shadowed hill As eager faces wait below If deadly looks could surely kill, Your fate was sealed not long ago

Treachery, blasphemy, from your lips Thou art accused of a crime most foul Caught by the mob in their frenzied grip Words that were yours are their weapons now

Tighten your fists as they tighten the knot Searching the crowd for a friendly face If this continues, you’re sure to rot Here in this God-forsaken place

Even if you’re stone-faced, scared, or brave No accolades for your attitude You are condemned to a shallow grave With the Devil’s evil eye on you

“Hang the witch,” you hear them say A soundless cry escapes your throat “End the witch,” as the floor falls away You cannot scream and now you start to choke-

Gasping for air, you awake with a start Laying unharmed in your bed at home Hands shake alongside your pounding heart This nightmare’s chilled you to the bone

See them standing on that hill Atop the gallows, fighting for their lives Hold your tongue, stay cold and still Hide away, hide away, and you’ll survive. 

Your Reality (Alter)

Every day,

I’m reminded of how I was born to mirror you

In the flames,

I can see all the ways my life is so very screwed

And the shadows, they cling to my person;

A counterfeit, that’s what I was born to be

I’m a twisted, inferior version

Like shattered glass, and that’s my reality.

At my side,

Is an army of darkness, born of a wish in spite

In my hand,

A corrupted banner, blazing with hatred bright

My companions are all fabrications

Idealized, cast in charcoal, ink, and paint

Even then, they will one-by-one leave me

And here I stand, just a lonely fallen saint.

Day 4 - Bonding

The rabbit leaps out of the hole

And with friends beside me, I follow it

Bounding and jumping and leaping about

Every moment is a fond memory, an adventure

Banter and laughter

Jokes upon jokes

I look forward to this always

And I will always cherish it

Though the rabbit is now gone,

Adventures still await

So wait for me, and I’ll follow

Day 2 - First Meeting

Sitting awkward on a bench, on a summer not too long ago

Look at us, the two of us, just a couple of losers.

One of us doesn’t know the steps, the other has a broken toe

Look at us, the two of us, just a couple of losers.

Little did we know that we’d become inseparable friends

Look at us, the two of us, just a couple of losers.

But meeting each other in a manner like that, what a way to begin

Look at us, the two of us, just a couple of friends.

Day 1 - Fateful Memory

Almost like it happened mere moments ago

I can still see them, falling from the sky

Those capsules of wonder and intrigue

And from the three that lay before me, a choice.

Visions of a mountain alongside grand boughs,

A dancing flame, wreathing a roaring spirit,

An icy ocean, steely cold...

Potential shone from six bright eyes.

With a grin, I took the path tinged with green

And began an unforgettable journey.
