At the Mercy of the Gods

*Full of things that don't go as planned Feeling helpless and full of self-loathing From the pain and sadness of the eight million gods I'm looking for a place to escape to

I'd rather shut myself in the cracks of the rocks Ignoring the moon and the sun, let's dance The meaning of being born into this world I don't know, I just don't understand

But the fact that you can feel that way It means you have the power to become Even more, much more wonderful That's what it's telling you

That's right, at the mercy of the gods, as they command Everyone loves the Earth Drink and sing, a boisterous party Sometimes that kind of thing is nice too

That's right, North and South, Right and Left One way or another, we love the Earth We're covered in mud, but we can keep walking The road ahead is still long

I just want to be a righteous person Surely everyone wishes for that, but By the ugliness of eight million hearts We are tormented every day

Me being born into this world It sounds nice to call it a miracle But it's surely nothing more than a coincidence After all, there's no meaning to it

But for example, if there's someone being mean to you It's just telling you That you are a very wonderful person That's what it's telling you

That's right, at the mercy of the gods, as they command Everyone loves the Earth If I laugh and you laugh too There's nothing that can't be forgiven

That's right, men and women, they should fall in love That's how the Earth keeps turning We're covered in mud, but let's keep walking The road ahead is still long

Things that are truly important Are surprisingly found within silly things Sometimes let's all make a ruckus Dancing naked and laughing out loud

That's right, at the mercy of the gods, as they command You can love yourself more and more Look in the mirror, you see it now, don't you? You are the light that shines on everyone

That's right, at the mercy of the gods, thank you everyone After all, I love the Earth Let's make flowers bloom, big flowers High enough to reach the heavens*
