[Verse 1]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Bridge]
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.
[Outro]
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.
