Dragalia Lost Agents of the Goddess theme song:

CHECKMATE feat. EMA

Artist: WEAKEND WALKER , EMA Lyrics: teppe, SiN Arrangement: teppe Sound Produce: TAKU INOUE Translation: HazeintheDaze Artwork from the official Dragalia Lost twitter

Please show your support by checking out the Official Video at WEAKEND WALKER’s youtube as well as its official streaming services

Edit: I made some changes to the lyrics as in the middle chorus some lyrics should be rephrased to sound more like the singer was fighting back the despair and not succumbing to it (thank you @yokusomizu for pointing this out). I also tuned some other parts, though the meaning does not drastically change.

I am facing some problem reuploading the corrected video on tumblr so I will try again next week. For now please view the more accurate translation here

Edit: the test post was successfully uploaded so the original post will be deleted soon. Sorry for the trouble.

Synced to Video:

死んだら負け 消えていくだけ If I were to fall, I’ll die and disappear 終わらないこの世界から Along with this world that never seems to end ⽕を滾らせ 今この⼿で I’ll let the fires burn, with these hands of mine ⽩けた罪を CHECKMATE The color of white Sin, CHECKMATE

虚構に囚われているフェイズ Trapped in the confines of this fictional phase 捨てきれはしない 可燃性の真実 Don’t toss away the flammable words of truth どうしたって変わらない No matter what ever comes your way

変えられない Don’t ever falter   思い抱いて DIVE Embrace these feelings and DIVE

ボロボロのまんまで結構 As the world falls apart all around me 最後に笑えるのがベスト Going down with a smile is the best action 化学反応渇望する⽇々 A daily addiction, a chemical reaction いつまでも待っていれない I can’t stand by waiting here forever

「これでどう？」 “What do you think?” 秒で悪意のリフレクション Seconds show your evil reflection 反論は意味ない There’s no use fighting back 分かっていたんだずっと I knew this truth all along

The time has come

HEY！⼿のひらに爆薬 HEY! Throw away the fuse 導⽕線にはもう Fire Let the dynamite in your hand explode Fire Hey！⼿遅れさ HEY! You’re a step too late 5 秒前焦げる匂い充ちた 5 seconds in and the room was quickly filled with smoke 邪魔はさせやしない世界に罰を Do not disturb as this world receives its punishment

いつも僕は そう I’ve always had these doubts なんでだって思っていた Why do I just keep on fighting on この傷は報われない These scars of mine don’t feel deserved at all もう待っていたって I’ve just been waiting 祈ってばっかだった Praying for salvation 「いっそ全部消してしまう？」 “Are you ready to erase it all?”

「これでどう？」 “What do you think?” 痛みを伴ったセレクション Of this painful pitiful selection もう戻れない There’s no more turning back 後ろに未来は無い To the future that was all long gone

When the time is come

Hey！⽬の前に赫燿 Hey! Gaze as this world burns もう時は満ちた Fire Blazing bright, you know that time is running out Fire Hey！⼿遅れの未来だって取り戻せるさ Hey! There’s no going back, Trying to save the future that you have lost Hey! The clock is ticking on, can you still save the future that you have lost 警報鳴らせ Go let the alarm bells sound 惑わすためのビッグノイズを Make some noise to deceive and distract them all 決死の思いさ Hey do you feel death’s despair 混沌に紛れ罪を打ち抜け As you drown in the chaos of your undeniable sins As you fight back the chaos of your undeniable sins 腐れていた過去を CHECKMATE Your rotten past shall forever haunt you CHECKMATE

僕らは厭世的なシステムに踊る I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism   感情を殺した⼈間さ Like a person who killed off all their emotions 僕らは厭世的なシステムに踊る I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism 単調な命を⽣きていた Living like a fool, a monotonous lifestyle

ふやけたぬるま湯の中じゃ Floating aimlessly gazing at emptiness 栄光の未来は⼀向に⾒えないな I can’t seem to see the glorious future they all talk about 「どう⽣きればいい？」と “How can I find the will to live?” 問いかけた時から もう明⽇はない There’s no answer to that and no tomorrow anymore

「これでどう？」 “Hey what do you think” 揺らぎない determination This unwavering determination もう何も恐れない 失ってた感情を I’m no longer afraid, my emotions are already dead

The time get back！

HEY！⼿のひらに爆薬 HEY! Throw away the fuse 導⽕線にはもう Fire Let the dynamite in your hand explode Fire HEY！旗を翳せ HEY! Raise the flags up high 弱いだけの僕らに別れを Say goodbye to all the weakness you used to have さあ扉壊せ Hey, come on and break this door のさばった不条理を蹴散らせ Kick away everything that you had to endure 正攻法さ Attack with your head held high お前らに⽐べたら I’m better off compared to you

それでも忘れられない痛みはあるんだ But after all that, I can’t ever seem to forget the pain I felt 終わることが救いになんてなりはしない At the end of it all, I am never ever truly saved

死んだら負け 消えていくだけ And even when I’m dead, and even when I’m gone 終わらないこの世界から This never ending world will forever live on ⽕を滾らせ 今この⼿で I’ll let the fires burn, with these hands of mine ⽩けた罪を 偽善纏った奴を The color of white Sin, I’m done being a hypocrite CHECKMATE

Literal Translation:

If I were to fall, I’ll die and disappear Along with this world that never seems to end With these hands of mine, I’ll let the fires burn Revealing the guilty (white) sin, CHECKMATE

Trapped in the confines of this fictional phase Don’t toss away the flammable words of truth No matter what ever comes your way

Don’t ever falter Embrace these feelings and DIVE

As the world falls apart all around me Going down with a smile is the best action A daily addiction, a chemical reaction I can’t stay here waiting forever

“What do you think?” Seconds show your evil reflection There’s no use fighting back I knew this all along

The time has come

HEY! Throw away the fuse Let the explosives in your hand explode Fire HEY! You’re a step too late 5 seconds was all it took for the burning smell to spread Do not disturb as this world receives its punishment

I’ve always had these doubts Always just wondering why These scars of mine don’t feel deserved at all I’ve just been waiting, praying for salvation “Are you ready to erase it all?”

“What do you think?” Of this painful pitiful selection There’s no more turning back The future we once had is no longer behind us

When the time is come

Hey! Gaze as this world burns Blazing bright, you know that time is running out Fire Hey! It is too late, yet still you try retrieve the future you’ve lost Go let the alarm bells sound Make some big noise to deceive them all Hey do you feel death’s despair As you fight back the chaos of your undeniable sins Your rotten past shall forever haunt you CHECKMATE

I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism Like a person who killed off all their emotions I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism Living  a monotonous lifestyle

Floating aimlessly in the lukewarm water I can’t seem to see the glorious future they all talk about “How can I find the will to live?” Since asking that question, there’s no tomorrow anymore

“Hey what do you think” This unwavering determination Nothing scares me anymore, my emotions are already gone

The time get back！

HEY! Throw away the fuse Let the explosives  in your hand explode Fire HEY! Raise the flags up high Say goodbye to all the weakness you used to have Hey, come on and break this door Kick away everything that you had to endure Go for a frontal attack I’m better off compared to you

But after all that, I can’t ever seem to forget the pain I felt At the end of it all, I am never ever truly saved

And even when I’m dead, and even when I’m gone This never ending world will forever live on With these hands of mine, I’ll let the fires burn Revealing the guilty (white) sin, of the hypocritical man CHECKMATE
