A Lunatic's Tale ~ 狂人之故事

(translation)

Verse
Waking up from a dreamless thousand-year sleep
I discovered that the rules of the game had changed too much

In this new strange world I couldn't seem to find
The traces of the struggle of the old days

Walking slowly along a street, the name of which I was not familiar with
I recalled the unrealized ambition of past years

The efforts of a lifetime
Only result in the uncertain memories of the people
In epics full of falsehoods, in annals full of superstitions

The sad melody blown away by the wind
The traces of blood washed away by the rain
How could I escape the call of destiny?

I ignored the piteous cries of the people
For the sake of realizing the great plan

No matter how great the price
I would not care

Chorus
*As long as I conquered the longed-for peak
And looked down at the opulence that belonged to me

I wish for the pedestal
Which would not be destroyed
Even if Jupiter chose to hurl his mad daughter at earth
Once again

Wishing to monopolize history and write one's name in glory
Without a doubt it is insufferable arrogance
The ultimate victory over all*

But those old dreams have now vanished with the wind
Leaving behind an empty shell which can't even rage anymore

Sitting in some busy corner of a street
I wait for someone, anyone who would listen to my woeful tale
Or rather, a stranger who wishes to be entertained

Verse
Walking in the quiet streets of the night
The figures collected over the years
I turn over, in my mind, looking for the best plan

From the time of yore, who defeats and who is defeated
Is determined by the starting point and the talents won over
I have longed realized
The only things that have changed are the appearances
Not the rules themselves
From this chinatown beside the harbor, I will rebuild my new dream

The skyscrapers which illuminate
The already-familiar night sky
Are the new peak of my longing

The hustle of the streets touches my heart
For the sake of possessing it all, no matter how much the effort, I will not care

Chorus
Repeat *

**Even though in this life I have no choice but to be a wanderer
Even though I have not met the lord who will accept my service
I am determined to find a new nation, where I can build my ancestral hall

Where this tired soul can finally rest
Like scattering clouds
This is the last farewell:
"Do not forget me"
"Do not erase my name!"**

Bridge
The countless stars on the sky seem to be sneering
At short-lived, foolish humans
The light from a million years ago, how illuminating it is!

Using the media to promote
An adorable dictator
Let the masses be mesmerized by him
And obey... obey... obey...

Repeat **
