Linked Horizon – Shinzou wo Sasageyo! (心臓を捧げよ！) Lyrics
(Shingeki no Kyojin S2 Opening Theme)
これ以上の地獄は無いだろうと信じたかった
kore ijou no jigoku wa nai darou to shinjitakatta
I wanted to believe this hell was over.
されど人類最悪の日は いつも唐突に
saredo jinrui saiaku no hi wa itsumo toutotsu ni
However, the worst days of humanity always come unexpectedly.
扉を叩く音は 絶えず酷く無作法で
tobira wo tataku oto wa taezu hidoku busahou de
The harsh sound of knocking the door is resounding.
招かれざる災厄の灯(ひ)は 悪夢のように
manekarezaru saiyaku no hi wa akumu no you ni
Followed by horrid days we can't escape, like a nightmare.
過ぎし日を裏切るもの 奴らは駆逐すべき敵だ
sugishi hi wo uragiru mono yatsura wa kuchiku subeki teki da
Those who betray these past days are the enemies that must be destroyed.
あの日どんな顔で瞳で 俺達を見つめていた？
ano hi donna kao de hitomi de ore tachi wo mitsumeteita?
What were the expressions they had as they watched us on that day?
何を捨てれば悪魔をも凌げる
nani wo sutereba akuma wo mo shinogeru
What should we give up to surpass these demons?
命さえ 魂さえ 決して惜しくなどはない
inochi sae tamashii sae kesshite oshiku nado wa nai
Take my life! Take my soul! I'll have no regrets.
捧げよ！ 捧げよ！ 心臓を捧げよ！

過ぎし日を偽る者 奴らは憎悪すべき敵だ
sugishi hi wo itsuwaru mono yatsura wa zouo subeki teki da
Those who fake these past days are the enemies that need to be hate.
あの日どんな声で 言葉で 俺たちを騙(かた)っていた
ano hi donna koe de kotoba de ore tachi wo katatteita
What were the voices and words they had as they deceived us on that day?
何を学べば悪魔をも屠(ほふ)れる？

Those mysterious monsters have faces resembling humans.
この世から一匹残らず 奴らを駆逐してやる
