Crimson throne ー you grip so tight
Cutting down the people's cry
Behind the grin — the venom hides
Feeding greed through endless night
“For the nation” ー hollow lies
Golden mouths, corrupted eyes
Futures fall with every deal
The dawn is locked away
Rotten kingdom ー traitors rise
Hear the mourning of the skies
Blood of people, ghosts consume
Burn the throne into the fire
Drunk on power, sinking fast
Guiding ships that never last
Chasing numbers, truth denied
Drape the lies in flags of pride
Screaming “unity” again
Chains are tightening on our hands
Deeper falls the sea of pain
No one hears the cries
Rotten kingdom ー traitors rise
Shadows laughing, feeding lies
Hands that trade away tomorrow
We will never bow
Has your pride already died?
Is your honor turned to ash?
We will tear these chains apart
Waiting for the day
Rotten kingdom — time is done
No more laughter, no more crown
We will rise, break the silence
Flames of dawn will light the sky

怒り、恐怖、そして自らに向けられた呪いのような愛。
『Renegade』は、現代社会と個人の内面、その両方に牙を剥く3曲入りの作品だ。
1曲目「Renegade」は、国民よりも私利私欲を優先し、国を売り渡すような行為を平然と行う権力者たちへの痛烈な批判を描いた楽曲。
自分たちの幸福を肥やすために裏切りを重ねる“売国”への怒りと、反逆者として声を上げる決意が、荒々しいサウンドと共に叩きつけられる。
「TRAPPED」は、逃げ場のない恐怖と不安に閉じ込められた心を描く。
逃げたいと願うほど、現実はさらに締め付けてくる。
生きづらさを抱えながら、それでも前に進むしかない矛盾と息苦しさが、この曲の核にある。
ラストの「Set Me Free」は、愛が救いではなく“呪い”へと変わった物語。
想う相手には別の男がいると知りながら、それでも離れられず、都合よく扱われている現実。
その関係に溺れている自分自身の罪も理解しているからこそ、憎しみは相手だけでなく自分にも向けられる。
それでもなお、この歪んだ愛から解放されたいと願う切実な叫びが、胸に突き刺さる。
『Renegade』は、社会への怒り、心を縛る恐怖、そして自分自身をも傷つける愛――
そのすべてを否定せず、曝け出すことで生まれたACEのリアルだ。
