Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger!
Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen
Fumareta hana no namae mo shirazu ni
Chi ni ochita tori wa kaze o machiwabiru
Inotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranai
Ima o kaeru no wa tatakau kakugo da
Shikabane fumikoete
Susumu ishi o warau buta yo
Kachiku no annei... kyogi no hanei...
Shiseru garou no „jiyuu“ o!
Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no koushi da
Jouheki no sono kanata emono o hofuru Jäger !
Hotobashiru shoudou ni sono mi o yaki nagara
Tasogare ni hi o ugatsu guren no yumiya
