Lyrics

鉄の冠 支配の印
城壁の向こう 自由はシルエット
命令が空を裂く 規則が血を染める
正位置 秩序の王座に座る
支えるのは力 揺るがぬ地盤
指先ひとつで 世界を動かす盤
統率と計画 冷たい慈悲
守る者の顔 決して笑わない
私は皇帝 ルールの象徴
力が秩序 秩序が刃
光も影も 掌の上
逆に回れば 鉄の檻
逆位置 支配が狂う
命令の鎖 自分を縛る
権力は虚像 胸に刺さる
守るつもりが 孤独に溺れる
規則を盾に 愛も奪う
強さの裏に 影が潜む
冷たく固めた 世界のルール
崩れた瞬間 全ては幻
私は皇帝 力の迷宮
秩序を振るい 縛るか解くか
正しさの鎧か 孤独の檻か
めくるのは自分 皇帝のカード
ー ー ー ー ー ー
Iron crown, mark of dominion
Beyond the castle walls, freedom is just a silhouette
Orders tear the sky, rules stain with blood
Upright — seated upon the throne of order
What upholds it is power, unshakable ground
With a single fingertip, I move the world’s pieces
Command and planning, cold mercy
The face of the protector never smiles
I am the Emperor, symbol of rules
Power is order, order is a blade
Light and shadow rest in my palm
Turn it reversed — an iron cage
Reversed — domination spirals into madness
Chains of command bind myself
Power is an illusion, piercing my chest
Meant to protect, yet drowning in solitude
Using rules as a shield, love is also stolen
Behind strength, shadows lurk
A world of laws frozen cold
The moment it crumbles, all is illusion
I am the Emperor, labyrinth of might
Wielding order, to bind or release
Armor of righteousness, or cage of loneliness
I turn the card — the Emperor’s choice
