I was born immortal
Fate plays tricks on people
Heaven and earth turned upside down
Reborn as a demon
My heart was a child’s
Yet the crowd
Sees me as a monster
Hurls abuse at me
Cannot tell right from wrong
I am strong, I am able
I could have benefited others
But these living beings
Are foolish and dull
Eyes that cannot see
Ears that cannot hear
Cannot tell black from white
You call me a demon
So I will be a demon
I will toy with you all
Watch you grieve
Watch you howl
Pitiful, hateful
Look at these beings
Stirring up trouble out of nothing
Thinking themselves extraordinary
Look at these beings
Help them out of the sea of suffering
As if scheming for their wealth
You call me a demon
So I will be a demon
Tearing the tiles off the roof
Wreaking havoc on the world
That wailing of yours
You truly deserve it
No good to any living being
I am the most free
Spit at me, curse me
A faint smile
Heartless and carefree
I don’t care
Who cares about whom
Saying I don’t care
I care deeply
Deep in the night, all quiet
All alone
I only pity that
Pure heart of a child
I want to be close to people
I want to be near people
Helping each other
Keeping each other company
To have a friend
Kicking a shuttlecock together
The gears turn day by day
Time changes day by day
The beings of that day
Fall into disaster
Because of me
The demon nature is natural
It is destined
The heavenly tribulation cannot be avoided
My parents do not reject me
They see me as human
Love me as their child
Willing to trade their own lives
For my safety
Never telling the truth
A well-meaning lie
I do not accept my fate
The words of fools
What are they to me
All nonsense
To hell with that absurd fate
My fate is up to me
Not up to heaven
Since I have a human body
Then I am human
Not a demon but an immortal
Subduing demons and vanquishing evil
Bringing blessings to the world
