Arrangement: Nightmare
Within the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
A flower of evil sprouted because it was loved
Because I won’t let anyone interfere
with everything that will come about from now on
The fruit told of the future
The city has forgotten reasoning
The present time is distorted black
I turn dreams into ideals
Why? Am I a broken Messiah?
Everyone wished for a “finale”…
Within the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
A flower of evil sprouted because it was loved
I won’t let anyone interfere
with everything that will come about from now on
Someday, I’ll show you
a shining sky
Why? Am I a broken Messiah?
Everyone dreamt of a “paradise”…
Within the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
A flower of evil sprouted because it was loved
Because I won’t let anyone interfere
with everything that will come about from now on
Someday, I’ll show you
a shining world

Dare ni mo jamasaseru wake ni wa ikanai kara

広がる闇の中 交わし合った 革命の契り
愛した故に芽生えた悪の花
これから先訪れるであろう全てを
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかないから
果実が告げた未来
理性を忘れた街
黒く歪んだ現在を
夢、理想に変える
どうして？ 僕はこわれた救世主？
誰もが望んだ「終幕」を…
広がる闇の中 交わし合った 革命の契り
愛した故に芽生えた悪の花
これから先訪れるであろう全てを
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない
いつか僕が見せてあげる
光り輝く空を
どうして？ 僕はこわれた救世主？
誰もが夢みた「楽園」を…
広がる闇の中 交わし合った 革命の契り
愛した故に芽生えた悪の花
これから先訪れるであろう全てを
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない
いつか僕が見せてあげる
光り輝く世界を

Thank you for uploading the full version of this great song and the wonderful lyrics… You’re the BEST!
I adore this song, the lyrics and the music itself have some strange but strong meaning for myself. I even like Raito more after listening to this song, poor child, following his own path alone…

P.S: I… Am… Kira… XD

Of course.
Great job! And, of course, nice song as well ^^

Yes; click on the Death Note link under Categories on the right side of the page.

thx for lyrics 🙂
Suggoiii nee, I reallly like this song, N love all Nigthmare songs. Thanks for The Lyrics.
how do I download? I only get the sendspace main page
Ya man. This song’s lyrics fit soo perfectly with the anime of Death Note and the mindframe of Light.
I Loooooooove this song so much! It’s just… sugoi =D.
Shikashi… May I correct something? The last sentence of the kana is wrong: it says “いつか僕が見せてあげる 光り輝く空を (Itsuka boku ga misete ageru hikarikagayaku sora wo)”, when it should say ” いつか僕が見せてあげる 光り輝く世界 を(Itsuka boku ga misete ageru hikarikagayaku sekai wo)”, if I’m right.
Anyway, thans SO much for the lyrics and translation ^^ Domo arigatou gozaimasu!
Oh, thanks for pointing it out!

Very good

Within the spreading darkness I pledge a vow to the revolution, I can’t let anyone interrupt it. The future that the forbidden fruit foretell, the ending that everyone wants, within the spreading darkness I pledge a vow to the revolution, I can’t let any one interrupt it. Some day…… I’ll show you a bright and ideal world. I dreamed a dream that no one could see, I threw away every thing I didn’t need, I’m holding these feelings I can’t give up in my heart, even if my feeling fall victim to the shackles of sacrifice, in between reality an my ideal, I can’t hold back my flooding impulses, because I have a strong desire to accomplish (deceit) (fear) (vanity) (melancholy) I’m not weak enough to believe any of these negative perceptions. I’m a trickster who doesn’t know solitude
Its aMAZING
thanks dude.. awesome.. 😀
Wows! Thank you sooooo much! The lyrics here are longer than the anime ones. (the evil flower thing was skipped out, for example.) I also like The High-Lows 😛

Thanks! Love this theme. Got to find Nightmare’s official site now 😀
dude ur awesome i’ve been looking for this all over the place
Death Note is hands down the best anime I will ever see.
OMG!!! fave ANIME i have watched after other faves like INU YASHA AND NARUTO……..!!! i luv lighto’s SHINIGAMI…. luv kira…….<3 ❤
I am very much a fan of Death Note now after seeing it for the first time!(just watched the box set back to back). I cannot believe how much L reminds me of myself, like with the thumb thing, the way he walks, sits, amount of sugar in tea/coffee, the way he thinks, always eating cake’s & sweets, almost same hair(same length), bit dark under the eyes & nearly same cloths… I was very amazed at how many things I found in common.
I was sad about L dying, wish he made it to the end of the series 😦
DEATH NOTE ROCKS!!!! OMFG I LOVE THIS SONG-GOT IT ON MY I-TOUCH [HAHAHA JEALOUS? XD] LOVE THIS SONG AND WHATS UP PEOPLE?!!? BY MAXIMUM HORMONE
LOVE YA PEOPLES
THIS IS MY #1 FAVORITE OPENING EVER!!!! ^^
I think Light is awesome!!!
I hated the ending to this anime.
WHOO LIGHT!! ^_^
Are you sure this is right cuase i watched the japanese version of the show and some of these lyrics arent in the opening theme
This is the full version of the song you dumb ass. If they used the full version in the anime there wouldn’t be enough time for the show.You are an ass hole!!!>:-(
Annonymous-June 3, 2010 you are such an ass hole! They don’t use the songs full version in anime shows, you muther fuckin dumb ass.If they did then there would’nt e enough time for the show and this is the full version of the song,Jesus Christ how dumb can one be!!! >:-(
This is the full version of the song, and not the TV version. People usually like to download and/or listen to the full version rather than the TV (shortened) version.
Great music !!!
I love this song! Thankyou so much!!! : )
i love this song
thanks
What are the words that come up during the english dub version of death note? I love it and I want to learn it. I would love to download it too, how?
And what’s with the fucking language? You guys need to be more polite, a person asks a perfectly fucking valid question and you call a fucking dumb arse and an arsehole. What the fuck is with that? That just disgusts me, and if you have a problem with it, I only have one thing to say: build a bridge and get the fuck over it
yay, now i can try and learn the lyrics 😀
Death note is the best anime i have ever watched in my whole life. long live death note. hats off, but didnt like the ending but still salute.
wah lagune pancen apik tenan,.. neng kok mung lirike lha mp3ne endi
Why did Light have to die!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? COME BACK LIGHT!
i didnt like that picture so I will keep posting things until I get a good picture
Starwars is pretty cool
I LOVE POKEMON
Cats are cool
Powerpuff girls are actually pretty awesome
SSBB – epic. mariokart – epic.
meh that last one was good enough but still… -Zoe Magik
man, this is best anime opening song ever! Werry god music! Nice lyrics! English translation is cool!
P. S. Kira ir werry sexy!
xD
^^ like this ^^ ~~~~~~~ 😀

thx for sharing…
Dudes where can i find teh shortened version of it like the one in the anime 😀
where can i find the shortened verison of the song like the one in the anime… please tell me 😀
I simply adore this first opening, I was shocked when they changed it because with my speakers on max and my total unexpectancy of the whole song change, i had a spazzgasm x3 I totally jumped and threw back my laptop, but i really do love both songs XD
Thanks so much for this! The song is amazing, but once you know the lyrics it’s even better.
i like this song soo much!!!!
