Verse 1]
New Game starts, an island, sun, and sea
A new protagonist, and this time it is me
I'm Hajime, my talent is unknown
A whole new cast on this tropical throne
A rabbit teacher says it's friendship time
But Monokuma's back to make the death bell chime
He hijacks the island, the sky begins to crack
The Killing Game is on, there is no turning back.
[Chorus]
I search the pixel island on my screen
Another body, another awful scene
I find the Hope Fragments, learn their story fast
In the Class Trial, make the logic last
"I agree!" I shout, and use their own damn words
To find the killer in these panicked herds
The 8-bit verdict plays, a grim, creative end
I lost another character I thought would be my friend.
[Verse 2]
The first to fall, they cry "It's Byakuya!"
But the Impostor's dead, it's not the player I knew
The trial reveals a chef's protective crime
Another classmate's running out of time
The islands open, chapter by chapter's pace
With new, dark motives all over the place
I solve the case, the verdict is declared
Another icon on my screen is despaired.
[Chorus]
I search the pixel island on my screen
Another body, another awful scene
I find the Hope Fragments, learn their story fast
In the Class Trial, make the logic last
"I agree!" I shout, and use their own damn words
To find the killer in these panicked herds
The 8-bit verdict plays, a grim, creative end
I lost another character I thought would be my friend.
[Bridge]
The game gets twisted, a Funhouse, a surprise
Mikan's Remembers, despair is in her eyes
Gundham's sacrifice, a duel with robot might
And Nagito's insane gamble, bathed in hopeful light
He forced a death that I could not predict
To find the traitor, my logic is conflicted
It's my friend Chiaki, the AI sent to guide
A heartbreaking truth she could no longer hide.
[Outro]
The final trial starts, the program is the lie
We're data ghosts who weren't supposed to die
We are the Remnants, the students of Despair
And Alter Ego Junko's a virus in the air
She wants to trap us, a choice I have to make
A forced shutdown is the path I have to take
I press the button, end the sim's cruel reign
And wake up to reality, to start my life again.
