Aku (Me)
If my time has come
I don't want anyone to beg
Not even you
I don't need that sniveling!
I'm but a wild animal
Exiled even from his own group
Even if bullets pierce my skin
I will still enrage and attack
Wounds and poison I'll take running
Running
Until the pain leaves
And I will care even less
I want to live a thousand more years
