Tonight it begins again, the terrible survival trial | |
Within an inescapable spiral, the bullet of fate is fired | |
| |
un, deux, trois… | one, two, three... |
un, deux, trois… | one, two, three... |
un, deux, trois… | one, two, three... |
un, deux, trois… | one, two, three... |
| |
The sun-dappled world has been dyed with despair | |
I continue to wander rooms, wrapped in suspicion | |
| |
There, in the fired bullet’s path, | |
are the contradictory words it will shoot through | |
| |
Well, tonight it begins again, the terrible survival trial | |
the game of deceiving and being deceived | |
where fate is left to dance | |
| |
Destroying illusions born from contradiction | |
within an inescapable spiral | |
the bullet of fate is fired | |
| |
It begins, wrapped in the darkness of night, the maze of deduction | |
Toying with logic using secretive tricks | |
| |
Even in this fake world | |
in this televised prison, we continue on this way | |
| |
Look, tonight it begins again, the terrible survival trial | |
the game of deceiving and being deceived | |
leading away from the truth | |
| |
The words that deceive, the traps that surround | |
fate is left to dance in the space between falsehood and truth | |
| |
Within this contrived world, this manufactured toy garden | |
seek to discover hope studded with lies | |
| |
Let’s love these illusions, as riddled with counterfeits as they are | |
wandering within the inescapable spiral | |
| |
Tonight it begins again, the terrible survival trial | |
the game of deceiving and being deceived | |
I’ll sit down on the field where we compete | |
| |
Feigned lies, exposed techniques | |
the motive that led to it, I’ll swallow it all | |
| |
Never-ending survival trial with no exit | |
I wonder if I’ll dissolve with my lies into the cracks between truth and falsehood | |
| |
Let us meet again in the next world |

Trivia[]
- The original Japanese lyric for "Destroying illusions born from contradiction" contains a pun. The Kanji used for contradiction is 矛盾, pronounced "mujun", which is the first syllables of Mukuro Ikusaba and Junko Enoshima first names. Given this, the lyric can also be read as "destroying illusions born from Junko and Mukuro".
- The final lyric "Let us meet again in the next world", is a reference to Celestia's final words before she is executed in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
