[Intro]
Danganronpa
[Verse 1: Marchitect, Jas Mace, Natalie Oliveri]
Reality slips far away
Fiction comes alive, we start to play
Hope is no more behind a closed door
As we drift away from where we were before
Hope and hopelessness become one
It's all meaningless, we've already begun
Yup, we are all one in the same
Never opposites, we play the same game
So I listen to the world and know right from wrong
Stay focused so I can stay strong
If you ever wonder why I'm trapped inside
It's probably just because I told a pack of lies
Maybe a dream, maybe it was pride
Maybe for myself, I often wonder why
Until my very last breath
I'm running after life, trying to beat death
Walk a thin line between hope and despair
Running from the truth but it's already here (Ohhh)
Told so many lies, I dunno if they can find me (Yeah)
Only one life to life, so choose wisely (Oh, oh)
Heads or tails? Do you even know what side your own?
Does it really matter if it's on the same coin?
If you wanna achieve, you gotta believe (Ohh)
The time: right now. There's the door, here's the keys
[Hook: Natalie Oliveri & Jas Mace]
The search is so very long, we let it fade away
There's a ray of hope beyond despair
Move on, look for the truth in this world
(Only one life to live, so choose wisely.)
Break through the confusion, find a solution
Beat the twisted evil things
Just do it, go for it, never (Never say never, never say never, Never say never)
[Verse 2: Tribeca & Natalie Oliveri]
(Danganronpa)
Don't be hopeless, stay focused
Got to grind every time till they're open
Got to climb really high where the rope is
It is written in the sky, see the opus
And you know this, please don't lose hope
Try to progress, keep your eye on the scope —
For yourself, or do it for your folks
Dedication got to swear the oath (Danganronpa)
From this day forth, stay on course
No despair, gotta have a heart (Yeah!)
Take no loss, every step cost
Everybody wanna see if you'll fall off (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Keep your eye on the prize
Been through the worst, even cried on the side (Ohhh)
No lie, never know what you will find
Got to believe, let's keep hope alive
[Interlude]
L'espoir d'un homme fait le désespoir d'un autre
Il y en a toujours un qui se sacrifie
Nos souhaits profonds sont tous les même
Ne perdez pas espoir, gardez toujours espoir
[Hook: Natalie Oliveri & Tribeca]
Don't throw yourself away, wipe all tears away
Even if the future seems uncertain
Survive... find true happiness in this world
(Such dedication got to swear the oath)
So hash all intention to change direction
'cause the sky is the limit
Just do it, go for it, never
(For yourself or do it for your folks)
Break through the confusion, find a solution
Beat the twisted evil things
Just do it, go for it, never (Gotta believe let’s keep hope alive)
