Lyric

Master of your own soul

NAOKI, Arc System Works

You say this world is drenched in lies

Hell, it's true

They smear frosting on the concrete—

Such a sweet disguise!

Did they gouge out your eyes?

No way, no way!

Did they rip out your ears?

No way, no way!

Did they crush down your soul?

No way, no way!

Bleeding from our wounds

The will that they dread!

Oh! Face in the black glass

Dive into the eyes in there

Light or shadow

The truth lies deep inside

Master of your own soul!

Oh! Face in the black glass

Awaken—and be free

Stand firm, no one can steal your "self"

Heaven or Hell

The world ignites when you rise

The collar they forged to chain us—

We call it a necklace

Trapped in this info-prison

Screaming a fake-freedom song

Did they gouge out your eyes?

No way, no way!

Did they rip out your ears?

No way, no way!

Did they break all your bones?

No way, no way!

Legs won't kneel down

They were forged to rise!

Oh! Face in the black glass

Dive into the eyes in there

Light or shadow

The truth lies deep inside

Master of your own soul!

Oh! Face in the black glass

Awaken—and be free

Stand firm, no one can steal your "self"

Heaven or Hell

The world ignites when you rise

On stairs of losers' spines

They stomp in steel heels

They stomp in steel heels

They stomp in steel heels

Bleeding from our wounds

The will that they dread!

Legs won't kneel down

They were forged to rise!

Oh! Face in the black glass!

Dive into the eyes in there

Light or shadow

The truth lies deep inside!

Face in the black glass!

Awaken—and be free!

Stand firm, no one can steal your "self"!

Though truth scorches out my sight

The path ahead still blazes clear!

Oh! Face in the black glass!

Dive into the eyes in there

Light or shadow

The truth lies deep inside!

Master of your own soul!

Oh! Face in the black glass!

Awaken—and be free!

Heaven or Hell

The world ignites when you rise

When you

When you

When you

When you

Rise!
