This is probably the best song on this compilation.
死亡遊戯 is literally “Death Game” but is also the name of the Bruce Lee film “Game of Death…” but the two aren’t related so call it whatever you want, I guess.

Shit!!
なあ 可笑しいだろう？
なあ 楽しいだろう？
naa okashii darou?
naa tanoshii darou?
Hey, isn’t this funny?
Hey, are you having fun?
命賭けて。。。
inochi kakete…
Betting your life…
スリル求めたDaredevil
suriru motometa derudebiru
A thrill-seeking Daredevil
やめられないね 最高のゲーム
次の相手はなかなか手強い
yamerarenai ne saikou no geemu
tsugi no aite ha nakanaka tegowai
I can’t quit this now, in this highest of games
And the next opponent is even stronger…
なあ 虚しいだろう？
なあ 寂しいだろう？
naa munashii darou?
naa sabishii darou?
Hey, this is futile, isn’t it?
It’s kind of sad, huh?
また壊れた。。。
mata kowareta…
Broken again…
台無しにした愚か者
dainashi ni shita orokamono
A fool who’s come to nothing…
抜け出せないね 最低のループ
行き着く先は 生きるか死ねかだ
mekedasenai ne saitei no ruupu
ikitsuku saki ha ikiru ka shine ka da
I’m not worn out, even in this worst of loops
But the destination I arrive at, will I live or die?
神に背いた証明を
行き場なくした負の感情
kami ni somuita shoumei wo
ikiba nakushita fu no kanjou
I’ll fight against the Gods
Having lost my destination to these negative emotions
弱肉強食の世界
jakku ni kukyou shoku no sekai
It’s survival of the fittest…
止められないね 最強の愚者
シナリオ通りいかない結末
tomerarenai ne saikyou no gujaa
shinario toori ikanai ketsumatsu
But I can’t stop now, the strongest Fool of all
The end of this scenario wasn’t as predicted:
神を殺した少年よ
慈悲を無くした天使の声
kami wo koroshita shounen yo
jihi wo nakushita tenshi no koe
The youth killed the Gods
And the angel’s voices lost their hope
