Artist: The Back Horn
Title: Unmei Fukuzatsu Kossetsu (A Compound Fracture of Fate)
Words: Suganami Eijyun
Music: The Back Horn

within song, everything wears an exaggerated look
"what is art?" the eternal question that haunts us
keep the medicine coming, I can't help but be uneasy
the sheet music will be covered completely by black ants, ah...

my sensibilities rusting, waving the baton
covered in crimson blood
my emotion growing cold,
expression is, afterall, excretion

cry at shit, with shit, seek to identify
glorify shit, give your life to shit
if you ain't selling, you ain't shit.
and before you know it, everybody's a goddamned salesman, ah...

the future is always harboring a compound fracture of fate
delusions, illusions, and then in the end, a total suspension of thought

ah, please say you need me from the bottom of your heart
ah, what can you make with talent that can't win out over hunger?

ordinary person dreaming, sorry for being a troublesome sort
to be honest, I just want to pretend I've really got a lot on my mind.

I have nothing I want to sing, nor anything I must sing
but I still want to sing, if I don't I think I'll go mad.

ah, please say you need me from the bottom of your heart
ah, in this world where everything is an imitation.

I will muster the power of curses,
and sing to you till I die, my beloved
the future being torn assunder
always harbors a compound fracture of fate.
