Sin…destruction…insanity…imprisoning…absolute…blade
Kill…evil…immediately…
Traces of the howling wraiths stretch madly beneath the moon
Tonight I feel pity for the sharpness of my fangs
How would you like your name on your gravestone? Tell me now
A stanza from the death poem for your agony says: ah…it was inevitable
Were we no different from beasts to begin with? Are we to rust and break?
Days of endless hesitation and confusion, but today
I only offer these heretics this flash of sorrow: "Kill evil immediately"
The shining fangs of the hungry wolf are a double-edged sword that will also destroy me
I grind my teeth and spit my blood, I know that yet I consume
Can a sword be called anything other than a sword? Nay, friends call me Tsubasa
…My name means "one who gives wings to dreams"
I solemnly close my eyes in a moment of calm, and sheath the blade which I live by
Due to my mastery of dueling, you'll now sleep without ever knowing you've died
It can’t be helped if I’m called a demon child, even if I have to slash with cruelty
I still bear the iron chains known as destiny that can’t be torn away
That the past are memories that give birth to the present, was something I couldn't believe in
I wanted to listen the voice that pushes my back sounds strongly
To this warmth, ah! …It drives me to tears "…Your weakness, only for now"
Even if I break and die today, it's so that tomorrow I can sing as a human
Learn that the battlefield isn’t the only place for me sing in
The voice I wanted most to listen, resound and reach, surpassing Heaven and Earth
My life's purpose is to be "the guardian of dreams"
Sin…destruction…insanity…imprisoning…absolute…blade
Kill…evil…immediately…
Wholly am I alone through Heaven and Earth; as I am now
There is nothing that I cannot cut; "Kill evil immediately"
The shining fangs of the hungry wolf are a double-edged sword that will also destroy me
If I am truly alive, then I can fly away from even the past
Can a sword be called anything other than a sword? Nay, friends call me Tsubasa
…My name means "one who gives wings to dreams"
