その手に浮かび上がる 紋章が証し 闇の色を集め纏う オーラのように Roots of the king... Roots of the king... Roots of the king... Roots of the king... 守られるべきものは 種族の掟 背く罪は瞬間 裁かれて 世界を滅ぼすという 力のため 現れた純血の 継承者 Judge it, King 紡がれてきた 運命のSaga その腕にゆだねられた 牙を剥いた者は 永遠に奈落を彷徨う What's real? 圧倒的な 支配を今 大空に仕掛けてくる 揺るぎない存在 Roots of the king... その椅子に座るのは 唯(ただ)1人だけ 紛い物は虚しく 消えてゆくだけ Roots of the king... Roots of the king... Roots of the king... Roots of the king... 闇の祝福の中 歩み続ける 約束されたステージ 登ってく 世界はまだ気付かずに 回り続け… 選ばれた純血の 継承者 Judge it, King 受け継がれてた 運命のSaga この時代黒く染める 牙を剥いた者は 永遠の死を知るのだろう What's real? 始まったのは 希望じゃなく 絶望と笑っている 揺るぎない自信は Roots of the king... 光射せば 密かに 影もまた出来るよう それは決して消せない Roots of blood Judge it, King 紡がれてきた 運命のSaga その腕にゆだねられた 牙を剥いた者は 永遠に奈落を彷徨う What's real? 圧倒的な 支配を今 大空に仕掛けてくる 風が巻き起こって その姿あらわす Roots of the king...!

That crest surfacing on your hand is proof Clad in the merged color of Darkness, just like an aura Roots of the King... Roots of the King... Roots of the King... Roots of the King... What must be protected are the laws of the race Judgement will be passed in an instant to those who have sinned For the power that can destroy the world A pure-blooded successor has appeared Judge it, King, this Saga of fates has come spinning Entrusting everything into those skills Those who bare their fangs will wander in Hell eternally What is real? This overwhelming rule shall now Be commenced in the heavens This unshakable existence, the Roots of the King... Sitting on that throne is but just one person There is only erasure for this incompetent imitation Roots of the King... Roots of the King... Roots of the King... Roots of the King... In the blessing of Darkness, he continues walking Ascending up onto the promised stage Without the world ever realizing, continuing in a cycle A pure-blooded successor has been chosen Judge it, King, this Saga of fates has been inherited Time to dye this era black Those who bare their fangs will wander in Hell eternally What is real? What has already begun It is not hope, but despair that he is sneering with This unshakable confidence, the Roots of the King... No matter how secretly Light shines There will always be shadows lurking That is something decided, and will never be erased, the Roots of Blood Judge it, King, this Saga of fates has come spinning Entrusting everything into those skills Those who bare their fangs will wander in Hell eternally What is real? This overwhelming rule shall now Be commenced in the heavens With the rise of the wind, the figure shall emerge Roots of the King...!
