Hizunda urei ga tobikau naka de
Ushinai ushinai hiza wo tsuku douke
Ano chou wa jiyuu ni nareta kana
Jounetsu wa kodoku to moeru

Kinou no jibun ni kyoumi nankanai
Shirokuro kaesu kotoba uraomote
Joushiki toka iu henken wo amikomi
Meian wo wakatsu majoritii

Tensai wo enjiteru baka wa omae ka
Naishi baka wo yaritsuzuketeiru tensai kai
Saigo ni warau no wa dochira no megami darou

Aimai na kyouki ga
Boku no nodo wo kawakasu

Rinkaku ga teigi sareru mae ni
Rojikku wo kutsugaese! aa

Kijou no kuuron wo yume to yobu
Mubou no naka ni hikari wa yadotta
Uttoushii kaze furiharatte
Chikara wo ima shimesou
Uso mo shinjitsu mo akase

Nando mo kizutsuite togisumasareta
Binkanna tsume no saki de yuragu tougenkyou

Honne ka ? tatemae ka ?

Ikinokore to sakenderu
Mirai wo ryouga suru kiseki wo matte
Yuukande okubyouna bokura

Te ni suru mono wa eikou ka kyoei ka
Hitori de wa tatakaenaito shiru
Kono geemu de wa

Aa kijou no kuuron wo yume to yobu

Uttoushii kaze furiharatte
Chikara wo ima shimesou
Asobi wa owarida
Nanimokamo sutete hikari wo tsukame

In this flurry of distorted melancholy
Are kneeling clowns who keep on losing
I wonder if the butterfly is finally free
As our passions burn with loneliness

I have no interest in my previous self
Black and white, different words to say and keep from someone
Weaving in prejudices like common sense
The majority decides the outcome

Are you the fool who is pretending to be a genius?
Or the genius who keeps pretending to be a fool?
Which of our goddesses now, will have their last laugh?

Madness filled with ambiguity
Dries my throat, making me thirsty

Before the contours can be defined
Stand up and overturn the logic

They call empty theories dreams
In the midst of recklessness, light dwells
Wave off this dreary wind
It is time to show our strength now.
Let the lies and truth uncover

[thanks for visiting animesonglyrics.com]

[Full Version Continues]:

I've been hurt so many times, it's sharpened my claws
At their sensitive tips lies a shimmering Shangri-la
The words are carefully selected and spun
Each symbols of the bold and delicate

Decipher the signals
Are they true? Or just a front?

The future is shouting at us to survive
So wait for a miracle that surpasses it
Brave and timid we are
In this world we wandered into
Win or lose, all we can do is dance

Mastering only the numbers with splendor
All that can be gained is glory or vanity
We learn that we cannot fight alone
Not in this game

Ah, armchair theories are only known as dreams
But within recklessness, the light dwells
So shake off this oppressive wind
And show your strength now
Play time is over! Abandon everything and seize the light

Koudo Ikusei Senior High School appears to be a utopia on the surface, offering students unparalleled freedom and boasting a high rank in Japan. However, the harsh reality reveals a less-than-ideal situation. The student body is divided into four classes - A through D - each ranked according to merit, with only the top classes enjoying preferential treatment.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji finds himself in Class D, the category for the school's perceived underachievers. There, he encounters the reserved Suzune Horikita, who believes she landed in Class D by mistake and aspires to climb to Class A, and the seemingly friendly class idol Kikyou Kushida, whose goal is to forge numerous friendships.

While class assignments are permanent, class rankings are not; lower-ranked students have the opportunity to rise by outperforming those in higher classes. Furthermore, Class D operates without restrictions on the methods students can employ to advance. In the competitive environment of this cutthroat school, can they overcome the challenges and ascend to the pinnacle?
