| 花の命 儚く | Hana no inochi hakanaku |
| 今宵ひらひらと散るわ | Koyoi hirahira to chiru wa |
| 時代を彩っては | Jidai wo irodotte wa |
| 健気に消えゆく運命 | Kenage ni kieyuku sadame |
| やり直しはきかない | Yarinaoshi wa kikanai |
| がんじがらめのプレイヤー | Ganjigarame no pureiyaa |
| 次の入一手はどうする | Tsugi no itte wa dou suru |
| 足掻くほど歪んでいく未来 | Agaku hodo yugandeiku mirai |
|
| |
| 最期の瞬間ほど | Saigo no shunkan hodo |
| きっと生々しく輝く | Kitto namanamashiku kagayaku |
| イノチノカラクリでしょう | Inochi no karakuri deshou |
|
| |
| 私 飾りじゃない これは遊びじゃない | Watashi kazari ja nai kore wa asobi ja nai |
| 負けの先には破滅があるのみ | Make no saki ni wa hametsu ga aru no mi |
| 涙はいつか枯れ果てた 犠牲の上に立つ | Namida wa itsuka karehateta gisei no ue ni tatsu |
| そして弄ぶ 狭いステージの上 | Soshite moteasobu semai suteeji no ue |
| 操られながら上手く踊るの | Ayatsurare nagara umaku odoru no |
| いつの日かこのジレンマを | Itsu no hi ka kono jirenma wo |
| 逃け出すと決めて切り札隠した | Nukedasu to kimete kirifuda kakushita |

|---|---|
| 花の命 儚く | The life of a flower is fleeting |
| 今宵ひらひらと散るわ | The petals will scatter tonight, fluttering down |
| 時代を彩っては | Lending its charm to an era |
| 健気に消えゆく運命 | It is fated to vanish heroically |
| やり直しはきかない | There is no doing this over |
| がんじがらめのプレイヤー | The players are bound hand and foot |
| 次の入一手はどうする | What to do about my next move? |
| 足掻くほど歪んでいく未来 | The more I struggle, the more distorted the future becomes |
|
| |
| 最期の瞬間ほど | The closer to the end the moment is |
| きっと生々しく輝く | The more vividly brilliant it will surely shine |
| イノチノカラクリでしょう | It must be the mechanical workings of life |
|
| |
| 私 飾りじゃない これは遊びじゃない | I am no ornament, this is no game |
| 負けの先には破滅があるのみ | Beyond defeat, only ruin awaits |
| 涙はいつか枯れ果てた 犠牲の上に立つ | I have run out of tears at some point, I stand atop sacrifices |
| そして弄ぶ 狭いステージの上 | And upon the crowded stage I treat as a game |
| 操られながら上手く踊るの | I dance neatly while being manipulated |
| いつの日かこのジレンマを | Someday, from this dilemma |
| 逃け出すと決めて切り札隠した | I resolve to slip away, and I hide my trump card |
