Lyrics:
Before your hair’s parted at the nape
And before we start to decapitate–
Your hands, your feet,
Your ears, fingers
Oh, please, we beg of you Shikyou gods
As you let known all the truth to us
Forgive us for our transgression
One, a-two, a-three, now then!
It is a headless existence
Mimicking the gods of humans
Like the whispers on the wind
From a shakuhachi flute
For, say the worthless creations
Of the gods, who do not praise us:
“We are masters of our fate and”
“We don’t need the gods to aid us”
Ga, ga, ga, sore (x8)
People tell the stories only
Of the gods that they believe in
Like the one-legged Ebisu
The faceless Bishamonten
And say the worthless creations
Of the gods, who do not praise us:
“We are masters of our fate and”
“We don’t need the gods to aid us”
Ga, ga, ga, sore (x8)
Before your hair’s parted at the nape
And before we start to decapitate–
You, the gods’ shoddy creations
Ere we decapitate, ere we decapitate
Oh, please, we beg of you Shikyou gods
As you let known all the truth to us
Forgive us for our transgression
Ere you decapitate, ere you decapitate
Your reward will be for your little lives
To be brought up short when you’re finished off
You, the gods’ shoddy creations
When you are finished off when you are finished off
So walk, continue to celebrate
Ere your pain becomes a reality
Forgive us for our transgression
Ere you decapitate, ere you decapitate
All of those beheaded under Shikyou, the Amanojaku
Return their heads in baskets! Yes, yes, yes, yes
They’re beheaded, they’re beheaded
Ga ga ga
As the worthless creations atone for themselves by dying
Even the bugs retreated. Yes, yes, yes, yes
They’re beheaded, they’re beheaded
Ga ga ga
Standing at the gate of the gods
Drop the ceremonial fire
Orochi of dawn, a prayer
From the bakeneko comes
So say the worthless creations
Of the gods, who do not praise us:
“We are masters of our fate and”
“We don’t need the gods to aid us”
Ga, ga, ga, sore (x8)
Before your hair’s parted at the nape
And before we start to decapitate–
You, the gods’ shoddy creations
Ere we decapitate, ere we decapitate
Oh, please, we beg of you Shikyou gods
As you let known all the truth to us
Forgive us for our transgression
Ere you decapitate, ere you decapitate
Before your hair’s parted at the nape
And before we start to decapitate–
You, the gods’ shoddy creations
Ere we decapitate, ere we decapitate
Oh, please, we beg of you Shikyou gods
As you let known all the truth to us
Forgive us for our transgression
Ere you decapitate, ere you decapitate
