the players despair

I launch the game, the logo says "V3"

A brand new story is waiting for me

I'm Kaede now, the pianist in this game

With sixteen students, it begins the same

But Monokuma's here, and this time he's got cubs

To enforce the rules in his murder clubs

A "First Blood Perk" is the first evil test

Kaede sets a trap to put a foe to rest

But something's wrong, the plan is torn apart

The wrong boy's dead, and it was doomed from the start.

And I'm lying in the courtroom on the screen

Building up a story that is totally obscene

Gotta win the Mass Panic, a tangled word debate

And twist the truth around to seal another's fate

The Scrum Debate now splits the room in two

I have to win the point to see the fiction through

I know the killer, but the truth is a strange lie

Another 8-bit person now has to say goodbye.

The first twist hits, and my view is rearranged

I'm not Kaede, my protagonist has changed

I'm Shuichi now, the Ultimate Detective

Her final wish has made me more effective

I watch as Kirumi tries to climb the wall

And see Korekiyo's seesaw make two others fall

Miu's virtual world, a murder in the code

And Gonta takes the blame, a truly heavy load

This game feels crueler, it's meaner than before

With every death, I'm wanting something more.

And I'm lying in the courtroom on the screen

Building up a story that is totally obscene

Gotta win the Mass Panic, a tangled word debate

And twist the truth around to seal another's fate

The Scrum Debate now splits the room in two

I have to win the point to see the fiction through

I know the killer, but the truth is a strange lie

Another 8-bit person now has to say goodbye.

The world is gone, or that's what they all say

Kokichi Ouma wants to make the game his way

He's this game's Nagito, a liar to the bone

He builds a final crime to steal the killing throne

An un-winnable trial, a victim I can't name

He tried to break the system, to end the whole damn game

But Kaito takes his place, a hero's final flight

And dies there with a smile, burning ever so bright.

The final trial starts, Tsumugi is the one

The Ultimate Cosplayer, whose cosplay is never done

She says it's fiction, Season fifty-three

A TV show for the whole galaxy

The truth is fiction, a lie is all we get

But I, the player, can make a final bet

I break the fourth wall, and silence my own voice

I will not play along, I make a final choice

To end the story, let the system fall

And watch the set come crashing down for all.
