Akuma no Ko [Cover]

I’ve come one step closer to being the hero In proving my justice, piercing like an iron bullet Close your eyes tightly and reach out to touch me You’ll find I have the figure and, oh, the fever of the devil’s child Yeah, maybe I’m broken - but that guy is okay? And as for that wall there - it was nothing but a wall! We came into this world by chance, not ‘cause we chose it, But we won’t grieve for it because we are all free! If, like the birds above, we had wings that could fly Where could we ever go? I know I don’t know. Where in this world’s our home? I think there’s no such place And if that’s so, we’re all alone… I know it’s so… And knowing makes me hate to live! This world is cruel, life is filled with pain But I don’t care - I will love you all the same! I’ll pay the price, I’ll give what it takes And I won’t care, I will guard you all the same! Even if I’m making a mistake, I will never doubt it, come what may, “Yes, it’s all right,” I’ll say This is what’s right to me The truth is in the strength of my belief. A rain of cold iron, a hailstorm of bullets I saw like a movie playing on a TV screen. Yeah, what’s the war to us? Absurd as it’s butal It’s a fairy-tale spread by fools who babble of their country. If that’s the truth, why? Why should I hate that guy? Have these dark emotions? Your motive’s only half-concealed What is your excuse now? I know you don’t have one! You’re all contradictions - there’s no reason it’s us! See how this single word has all its meaning changed - By the translator’s hand - all it’s meaning is lost The only true belief is when your eyes can finally see It’s only this world that’s real. I know it’s so… And knowing makes me hate to live! This world is cruel, life is filled with pain But I don’t care - I will love you all the same! I’ll pay the price, I’ll give what it takes And I won’t care, I will guard you all the same! In the shadow of the chosens’ light Lie the corpses of those left behind And all along I’ve known how deep within my soul I’ve had to grow into the devil’s child And justice never sees what’s done in darkest need Now in my blood I am the devil’s child.
