sung by: JAM Project featuring Yoshiki Fukuyama
Translation by Alinda Sue…

(note: the intro is not written down in the CD liner notes, so I’m having to figure the words by ear. It has a really awesome dark choir sound. Unfortunately, that does make the words a little hard to understand. If you know the words, or think you can understand them well enough, please contact me at alinda98418@yahoo.com. Thanks.)

intro: ???? shall find the end of this world
          There was a gate to the dark side
          And in there guardian is here
          He will come here as Kaizer

          It’s just that gate of gloom and hate
          It’s not   ????

** The liner notes say “kore”, but it sounds like he is singing “sore”.
