[dir4444]

最高!!



[Needless957]

this was my fav song by them till heard inconvenient ideal, that song is woaah O.o

[ssshadow89]

brings back memories of my childhood

[MinervaArnauld]

How can they do songs like that? It's so beautiful. They're my idol and my inspiration, and when I'm composing I think in them, so the lyrics came to my head so easy. It's scary, really.

[xXUsuiTakumiXx]

damn I love this song its my favorite dir en grey song ^_^

[oOKakarotOo]

very emoional song to listen to in any mood of the day

[Croblji]

This song is amazing, i love the beginning *-*

[iamchibisango]

one of my top favorite diru songs...kyo is amazing. love the heavy guitars. this is what they do best...and its a nice change from the crazy blood curdling screams

[boobearcubx]

i cant seem to find the exact translation for this song.

[Kiryu394]

I Pledge Allegiance to Dir En Grey and All The Great Songs of Dir En Grey and To The Republic of J-rock, For Which It Stands,One Nation, That Does NOT Fall, Invincible, With Love and Honor For All Dir En Grey Fans.

That is my fucking pledge....

[Anarchaism]

@Kiryu394 i think most j-rock is too cool for any sort of government. xD

[Kiryu394]

@Anarchaism hell yea... i wouldnt be surprised if there were anti government lyrics by any jrock band... but as i said, thats my DEG pledge

[kingsasuke160]

i love u my babe alice

[pauliazz94]

5 deaf people accidentally clicked this awesome song

[lhaclatiitaxx]

Esta Cancion esta Cantada con Tanto Sentimiento..

[Lilyssad]

Обожаю)) Очень классная песня *___*

[rockinghard72]

I heard the unplugged ver. before this one but.. Damn... It sounds amazing.. Unplugged or not..

[mattodrummer1]

the best thing about kyo is that he can totaly do this stuff live!

[iktpq1234]

this song kicks me in the ass

everytime i listen to it,absolutely amazing song.

[MasamuneV3]

My fave Dir en Grey song.

Vocals or earmelting!

[fairygumm]

i love this song!

[redrugright]

Damn Kyo every time I think I've heard every note he can sing he floors me with something new and extraordinary.

[funkmachiner1984]

love the song at the first time i heard it....

[mashui99]

This is sick! i love those chords, Dir en Grey has amazed me again o.o

[zenithar6666]

i know thre just unreal!!

[aYellingSir]

i want to go back in time just to hear it for the first time once again

[UnabridgedComics]

I know how you feel!

[okeichan]

haha, same here!

[ILikeThis2]

agreed

[TasteofGore]

Along with Conceived Sorrow, this is one of the two most beautiful songs I have ever had the joy of experiencing..~

[soulridder]

the acoustic version is greaT TOO

[soulridder]

im pretty sure u would like the unplugged version as well

[randygleason333]

@TasteofGore have you heard were yami tote... thats a really beautiful song :)

[imokinikoniko]

音質いいですね

[aliceko928]

ホントにディルって凄いよね

尊敬します

[Ragnar0k951]

omfgwtf bestest band evarrrrrr!!!!1!11

[Shuku8]

Nah, I totally know what you mean. I hate it when you get multiple translations. I'm trying my hand at translating too and it's practically imposible. There is just so many posibilities!

[AMVmaka]

THESE ARE NOT THE CORRECT ENGLISH LYRICS fail!!!!! </3!!! you broke my heart RE DO THEM

[Shuku8]

If you can tell that they are incorrect, why not post the corrections? If the creator of this amv posted those lyrics, they probably think they are right. How would they re do them if they don't know what's wrong? . . . . Great song BTW :)

[AMVmaka]

I don't remember all the lrycis =) thats why I looked up this vid but if you look at the english version you can tell it sounds a little off... its an incorrect translation... I don't know if he translated it himself but most likely he got it from a differnt source.. and he should look for a differnt source for a new set of lyrics.. but just to let you know I love this song for the vocals and the instrumental play its so beautiful what Iloved even more are the lyrics i just remember bits & piece

[GreatestPokeMaster]

it seems like the author just kind of ripped them from Songmeanings, so how could they redo them if they never knew the meanings in the first place? Don't have to be so mean about it. . .

This song is the bomb-diggity though <3

[Jazuki01]

such a beautiful song, i love it <3

[LightxEdge]

i need this song in english lyrics :[

[stigerqueen]

There are english lyrics in the info box right underneath the japanese lyrics

[LightxEdge]

hah i didn't see them till after i made the comment. Thank you.

[Gummiebaerin]

<33 *___________*

[xXLadyDiruXx]

I think of a boy sitting in his dark room his parents don't care about him, at school he has no friends because of envy or whatever...but he has still hope that one day everything will be good

[dsballer37]

This is my favorite track off MOAB, it's a mix of their old and new style IMO, even they switch styles so often

[liljc95]

ya i could agree to that

[Tatacchan]

I adore this song. It blows me away.

Guys, what do you imagine when you listen to this song?

I imagine heavy rainfall, and a lonely person drenched in rain, on the edge of a cliff, looking at the ocean.

What about you?

[sugarplumhellspawn]

You have a creative mind, it must be said. I think you would make a good writer, or poet =]

[Tatacchan]

*blushes* thank you very much for the sweet comment sugarplumhellspawn, I feel very much honoured :) With this type of music in the background, anyone can become a writer or poet, believe me. Dir en grey are sooo inspirational, it's incredible. *__*

[sugarplumhellspawn]

You're welcome ^__^

You know what inspires me? Search for Lilium - from the Elfen Lied anime soundtrack. Possibly the most beautiful thing ive ever heard. Seriously, it has helped me through a lot of bad patches =]

[FoxunFur3046]

i think of a young boy crying in the rain under a streetlight while people pass by him not caring about him. only of themselves.

[Zjohns123]

I love how Dir en Grey isn't emo, but makes all of those heavy eye-liner big-haired bands look like sissies ^^

(I have nothing aginst big hair and heavy makeup... i'm fully aware of their Visual Kei days and i love their vk days) ^^

[direnpepsi]

I love this song <3333

[guanjon]

a lot of people i know like the acoustic version better, and whilst it is epic, i still love this one. one of the best tracks off Marrow

[EvilB3rry]

Wow... I love this song. I never though I would be the kind of girl who liked visual kei music but its one of the most awesome things I've ever heard. So far my favorite VK bands are Dir en Grey and Rentrer En Soi

I LOVE THIS

[Godiva008]

Dir en Grey are not Visual Kei. In an interview Kyo said that they were never Visual Kei, it was just that they liked wearing make-up and dressing up.

[EvilB3rry]

haha

yeah I read my comment, and I think I kind of sound like an idiot. but yeah now diru are the only "VK" band that I like.

And yeah I know that they were never VK now, they didn't really like to categorize themselves in that area. I think that's why they kind of left that style, cause their image was getting in the way of their music.

[fruitycheese]

i love this song so much :)

[darkfox1001]

love this song :D haha have the CD to!! XD

[senatorpadme]

man, that is a good song. you can really hear the passion in his voice

[54spiritedwill54]

THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME

[dsballer37]

My favorite track from Marrow.

[PutrescentSoul]

you know what....dir en grey have really good songs!..i'm gonna go and buy their cds!!!!

[bigumpi]

no,wait, the music too

[mushrooms]

Thank you for uploading!!!

[MyLittleBonsai]

Oh, I love this song so much. For those trying to ruin Dir En Grey by stereotyping them, just fuck off. You people are a load of cunts I can't fucking stand any single one of you trying to stereotype talent like this.

[kookikatsy]

YES!! <3

[UchihaTrina]

no it's NOT!

xoxo

[bigumpi]

just the drum part really, not the actual music. (i can't believe people give you a thumbs down for asking a simple question)

[AsukaxKijo]

3:03 "Kiss of the Devil. No evil can run..."

I know he doesnt say that but it totally sounds like it XD

Awesome song. Dir en grey are the best

[69eyesjussi]

holy shit it does!!

[MooMooCow888]

Holy fuck, it does!. . . I didn't intend for this to be so similar to eyesjussi. . .

[hizokadarkwolf]

is very nice, butthe unplugged version is great!

[BlackVisu]

i love this song

and i love the lyrics

[kookikatsy]

Okay please don't get mad at me, but.....I kinda don't think making yourself bleed all over stage isn't emo. BUT, I really don't like the stereotyping, and calling Diru emo is just wrong....Emos are pussies compared to DEG lol. They can't really be "categorized".

Dir En Grey is it's own genre!!! ^^

[MyLittleBonsai]

I think it's good. Kyo gets himself in the mood for the songs then. He did it when he played live in London, I can tell you from that point on things got a lot more fucking amazing!

[Fridgeson]

STOP STEROTYPEING!!!

Dir En grey Rule

[orangegreendaysuite]

i love this song

especially the acoustic version

[UkeFreak]

I prefer the unplugged version more but this song is still amazing as all hell

[Jrockalltheway]

they are not emo it's just a slower song they did. if you hear there other songs you can clearly hear they are not. don't label a band based on one song

[iriapeke]

dir en grey <33

IS NOT EMO!!

[XBr0wnB0mb3rX]

Yeah... >_>

Those aren't the english lyrics I know o.o

[xXxDiruDezxXx]

This song is AWESOME. Definatly not emo - those who say it is are just simple minded enough to be held down by American genres.

The English lyrics posted in the description are different from the one's that I have read. I mean, I'm used to finding many different translastions to songs, but these are very oddly worded...like the course "Why is the regret still running?" how can that be translated from the same lyrics as "Where is the philosophy of spring?" was? Maybe it is...idk Oo

[dreamteamkill]

code of vulgar{ism} explains it all...

[evolkrow]

Dir en grey isn't emo, and neither is this song.

[LhyJ]

eres un ignorante

[FragileZeroSpace]

You're kind of special, aren't you. Die slowly jackass.

[motoslam]

THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME.. does anyone have it?

[ReverseVampire]

one of the better songs on MoaB, cant stand the screaming from alot of the tracks...

[kookikatsy]

wow, this song has such a cool, dark feeling that gives me shivers! :D oh Kyo, you're so sexy! waru=badass!!xD

[tonisaparasite]

Okay.

Was this supposed to be funny?

[emoboy163]

you know what. SHUT THE FUCK UP. this isnt emo. DeG isnt emo. so just shut up and leave.

[animehottie281]

i effing love this song i am in love now

[R34L]

luuuuuuvvv dis soonggg XD

[foshizzlekun]

I love this song, but I LOVE it better unplugged.

[siriusql]

yeah they played it, you can look the video ONCe on their website :)

I got it, I got the sound, i'm listening to it right now, AND IT PWNS

[TsukiNoMahou]

Well, I've been at their gig once and they didn't play it. What a shame, a live play would have done justice for it, I believe. No matter what, I love the feeling The Pledge has. Flowing, mourning, it's so pretty in a dark way.

[kyoslave92]

Yes, Dir en Grey.

[kyoslave92]

i think this s one of the best songs off the 'morrow of a bone' album

[Stephiee93]

Great song, And thanks for the english lyrics ^^

[emoboy163]

that is true, but LP also puts in emotion into their songs....well, chester does.........but yeah, DeG is awesome!

[UchihaSakura14]

fucking awesome :D

[FummyMimoki]

I have to say I enjoyed their Vulgar, Macabre, and 6ugly a lot more than MOAB.

[MekkT]

Uncapitalize that g slacker! <3

On a lighter note you are 100% correct. Kyo is a badass on so many levels it spans multiple dimemsions.

[BiohazardGT]

this is a great song

[siriusql]

Freakin amazing, love the chorus with that clear sound of guitar

[Tsunade1sama]

I was at their concert in Switzerand yesterday!

That was... just awesome! *__*

[KowaruKei]

concieved sorrow, pledge, tamerai <3

[patchyxx]

I second this. I have over 300 plays for each of those songs on iTunes. They never get old and I always find something new to like about them each time I listen to them <3

[witeness]

i have no idea what the words mean at all...but its one of my favorite songs to listen to...help me calm down

[Floodedwithblood]

I love this song... Kyo is just awesome, the lyrics are truely beautiful...

[clickityclack666]

[anelir]

[dusadusa222]

it is sounds like water .. !!!

[bobnewby]

[bobnewby]

[FummyMimoki]

Awesome song <3.

No other band can make such a song.

[inamerica88]

[metalandanimeyes]

Great song it's another awsome song from a revelutionary band.

[dusadusa222]

[CoffeeSlave]

BEST song on the album. <3

[extremeXjapanophile]

ZMOG i love this song!! this is the best song dir en grey has ever put out!! i like this version better than the unplugged version, but that was also very good. this one just seems to have WAY more emotion in it. i love kyos voice ^_^

[bergers1987]

I love this song. i also loved most of the new songs. thanks dir en grey

[pieass22]

hmm so far this is the only song I like off this new album *cries* I'll still listen to the old stuff *nods* I still love ur voice kyo but I hate most of the new stuff *cries more*

[FF7Freak92]

tf is that on the album cover lol if im not going crazy the album covers got darker and darker over the years too rofl

[Yoiko]

I also prefer this version of the song. I admire the combination of Kyos' emotional lyrics and the more agressive music. Awesome~

[theonezeata]

there are two virsions of this song, its pretty great i like this artist :)

[ExpoLove]

Yes, this song rules!! I love it... There needs to be more like it...

[Kanransha]

Ah...I like this version better. There just seems to be more emotion, IMHO
