English Translation
[Intro; spoken] That day, humanity received a grim reminder Of the fear being dominated by titans And the walls that they lived in, were like cages Fly away to the sea and beyond those walls!

[Intro] Are you the prey? No we are the hunters!

[Verse 1] Not knowing the name of the trampled flower The fallen bird anxiously yearns for the wind to rise Just praying, will not change anything at all What changes this distressing moment, is the determination to fight

[Pre-Chorus] Pigs that sneer at the resolve to climb over corpses and walk on Enjoy the peace of livestock…false prosperity…"freedom" of the dying wolves that hunger!

[Chorus] The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack Beyond the castle Walls lies a hunter killing his prey With a surging impulse scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet With a crimson bow and arrow

[Verse 2] Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won’t let it escape Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won’t let it escape He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping He’ll release it, time and time again, until draws its last breath

[Bridge] What truly kills a prey are not 《weapons》 nor your skills at using it But your own sharp killing intent

[Verse 3] We are the hunters -> passionate as flames! We are the hunters -> cold as ice! We are the hunters -> pour your heart and soul into your arrow! We are the hunters -> boldly go forth and pierce through everything!
