The Devil -Awakening-1

I scream　in a steel storm　I scream　in a blessed storm
God help me2　I cannot see you from here
I will become a flower and fall3　I will fall and turn to ash　for you, cutie
The sky sobs　oh, you cutie　hey, you will hear it
Two... three... five... seven...4
I scream　in a steel storm　I scream　I scream your name
God help me　I cannot see you from here
I will become a flower and fall　I will fall and turn to ash　for you, cutie
The sky sobs　oh, you cutie　hey, you will hear it
Two... three... five... seven...
God help me　can you hear my voice...

1 The Maou series of songs is a critique of war, centered around WWII.

2 The original phrase is Namu Amida Butsu, which is a mantra called the "Nenbutsu" and is from the Pure Land Sect of Japanese Buddhism. The belief is that one only has to utter it before death to enter the Pure Land -- heaven, in a nutshell.

3 This line is symbolic; in WWII, the young kamikaze pilots were referred to as flowers, specifically with the image of a fleeting cherry blosoom in mind. The veru "chiru," to fall, refers literally to the way the petals fall from trees and are blown away in the wind, but also metaphorically refer to the way the pilots died.

4 Counting in prime numbers is a nod to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean, in which the main antagonist counts prime numbers as a way to calm himself down.
