Was a male scientist who asked me that

抱えてる赤い猫の死骸

火傷だらけの腕で彼が触れた 
yakedo darake no ude de kare ga fureta 
With arms covered in burns, he touched

『私だったもの』 
"watashi datta mono"

「もうここには戻らない　君は君の実験を続けなさい」 
"mou koko ni wa modaranai kimi wa kimi no jikken wo tsudzukenasai"

南空舞い散る七つの光 
minami sora [bad word] nanatsu no hikari

sore wo mite watashi wa omoidasu 
Looking at them, I remember

そう　全てを奪ったあの女に報復を！

三日月の夜に始まる復讐 
mikazuki no [bad word] ni [bad word] [bad word] 
On the night of a new moon my revenge begins

身体が変われば目的も変わる 
karada ga kawareba mokuteki mo [bad word]
