Unknown are the names of the flowers that have been trampled Birds have fallen to the earth and long for the wind Prayers won't solve anything Only the will to fight can change the here and now!

O pigs who laugh at the resolve to walk over corpses to move forward Livestock complacency? False prosperity? Give us the freedom of dying starving wolves!

The humiliation of being caged is what triggers us to fight back We hunters slaughter prey beyond the castle walls, consumed with surging bloodlust, as our crimson bows and arrows pierce scarlet holes into the twilight Sing-along English= Are they the food? No we are the hunter!

Standing in an endless field of nameless flowers dead and broken Weary birds with broken wings all search the windless sky for omens. Those above have kept their silence; prayers won't bring salvation. Change will only come if we all fight and die to save our nation!

Damn the pigs who dare put you down For the will to push on 'cross the corpse-laden ground! Peace as livestock? It's an illusion! As starving wolves we will die free!

Channel the rage of humiliation! Use it to fight - crush the oppression! 'Fore the ancient eyes of the walls the hunted will become the-e HUNTERS! Fury and hate are raging through you. Don't hold it back, let it consume you. Take up your crimson bows and arrows! The final war is nigh! GG Fansub= No one remembers the names of the trampled flowers Fallen birds await the next wind before they try again Prayers won't save us Only the will to fight can change our world

Ignore those pigs who ridicule you for having the will to step on dead bodies and move on Our complacency as livestock strengthens this false reality We're as free as starving wolves!

Channel the humiliation of imprisonment into your arrows and begin the resistance Far beyond the confining walls, you'll slay your prey! As your body burns with an overflowing urge, pick up your burning bow and gash through the twilight

English= Are you the food? No, we are the hunter!

Crimson Bow and Arrow

Not knowing the name of the trampled flower Birds that have fallen from the sky tire of waiting upon the wind Prayers won’t change anything Only the resolve to fight can change the [present]…

You pigs who sneer at our will to step over corpses and march onwards Enjoy the peace of livestock…false prosperity…"freedom" of the dying wolves that hunger!

The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack Beyond the castle walls lies a killing his prey With a surging scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet With a crimson arrow

Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won’t let it escape Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won’t let it escape He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping He’ll release it, time and time again, until draws its last breath

What truly kills a prey are not [tools] nor your skills at using it But your own sharp killing intent

We are the hunter -> passionate as flames! We are the hunter -> cold as ice! We are the hunter -> pour your heart and soul into your arrow! We are the hunter -> boldly go forth and pierce through everything!

Attack on the titans. The boy from back then will soon take up the sword. Who only laments his powerlessness won’t be able to change anything. The boy from back then will soon take up the black sword. Hate and rage are a double-edged blade. Soon, one day, he will bare his fangs against fate.

Ones that could hope to change anything Are ones who could bear to abandon anything Without bearing any at all, how could you hope to attain anything…?

Foolish assumptions…they are but mere phantasms…right now, we could do with even reckless courage… The advance guards of …betting on their offensive Victory to the charging slaves!

All this absurdity forced upon us are our cue to attack Deprived of his horizon, [Eren] yearns for “freedom"[the world] With relentless assailing his body, he carries violet to dusk- With an arrow from Hades Booklet= Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

踏まれた花の　名前も知らずに 地に墜ちた鳥は　風を待ち侘びる

祈ったところで　何も変わらない 《不本意な現状》を変えるのは　戦う覚悟だ…
