English Lyrics

Official Singable Lyrics

The official English translation of the lyrics to "Pride From Despair" as written in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The lyrics are stylized, as they are intended to be singable.


(Another shitty fucking day)
(Another shitty fucking year)
(We're trash to the heap)
(Ain't that right boys and girls?)
(If this is all we're living for it's time to stand up!)
(You've got pride to bear)
(So let's roll! Pride from despair!)

(Yeah!)

Choking on this toxic air, driven down without a care
I'm constantly aware, I'm a lost and lonely child
God ran for god-knows-where
Deaf ears, unanswered prayers
Paid the fare to go nowhere, another wasted mile
Can't see beyond the glare
Even though the map's laid bare
Grin and bear it, it's our share, this road goes on forever
Slipping further every day, another sin to wash away
Whether we're wrong, who's to say? It's now or never!

And what do you want outta life?
Did you think you'd die with pride?
Smiling from the heaven like
You won the war with time?
Hey boy! Eyes open!
If you're still standing, show 'em!
Right now! And carve out your pride from despair!

Burn it down! This landfill that we've found!
Turn the past to ash and cast it to the ground!
The furnace rusts! I'll leave the world in smoke and dust!
A poisoned heart they'll never defeat!

And I'll remain, the sulfur in the rain, through fire
Through hell, through all the pain
From up on high, in bellowing and blackened skies
You bet I'll be looking down with pride

(Are you listening now brothers?)
(Do you hear me sisters?)
(All the anguish in your life has been worth it)
(For your pain is your pride!)
(Now follow me)
(And run! Run! Ruuuuun!)

[Intro: Backup Vocals, 【Backup Vocals/(Majima)】]
A shitty life
A shitty self
Living with despair upon despair, you boys and girls
Stand up right now
From the summit of despair mounted high
Show your pride!
Let's go! Despair-summit pride!
【Haaah!/(Heeehahahahahahahahaha! Woo! Let's go!)】

[Verse 1: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals), 【Majima】]
All year, I despair in myself
Lost in being lost in a haze, youth's lost child
(I have no, no idea)
And God, nine times in ten, must be dissappointed in me
The highway to my dreams is held up in major congestion
(I have no, no passion) 【Woo!】

[Pre-Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
My shortsightedness turns even the map into a distorted afterimage
With me straying dangerously off course, this month is over
(Cry, cry, feels like I'm about to cry)
Earthly desires pile up and up, instincts dull down and down
I don't care if I'm wrong, just give me an answer
(Go! Go! Get the answer!)

[Pre-Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
How will you go on living?
(Hey boy! Get up fuckers!)
A life you can't be proud of
(Hey boy! Stand up fuckers!)
That you waste moment by moment
(Hey boy! Get up fuckers!)
Until you face the very end?
(Hey boy! Stand up fuckers!)
Hey boy! Just think
(Hey boy! Get up fuckers!)
With that hollow brain
(Hey boy! Stand up fuckers!)
Right now! Charm with your despair-summit pride!
(So! Charm with your despair-summit pride!)

[Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
Burn up, burn up and burn out
(Yeah! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The garbage past you want to forget
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah-oh)
With the lightless and rusted-over incinerator in your chest
(Pride! Pride! Pride! Pride! Despair-summit pride!)
From the summit of despair, look down on them
(Oi! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah-oh)
Rise up and become the crane of the trash heap
(Pride! Pride! Pride! Pride!)
Charm them with your despair-summit pride
(Ooohhh oi!)

The in-game version of the song omits the following lyrics.

[Interlude: Backup Vocals, 【Backup Vocals/(Majima)】]
A shitty day-to-day
A shitty everyday life
Sinking to the depths of despair, you boys and girls
【If you start running now/(Start running now)】
Step on the accelerator of your passion
Show off to those guys!
Your despair-summit drive!

[Verse 3: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals), 【Majima】]
I'm still in the dark, in the middle of fumbling around
Losing myself and losing my self, the future's underdog
(I have no, no idea)
And God, nine times in ten, must be dealing divine punishment
The mountain path to my dreams is under dense fog advisory
(I have no, no passion) 【Heeehehehe!】

[Verse 4: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
My cash deficit turns even looking for rice into a hunt at the supermarket
The discount-stickered stacks of stale bento feature
(Cry, cry, feels like I'm about to cry)
Cold, cold yukgaejang and too much doubanjiang
The man choking down what he's eating, get him some water
(Go! Go! Get the water!)

[Pre-Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
What are you thinking?
(Hey boy! Get up fuckers!)
[Spending] today, this day that only comes once
(Hey boy! Stand up fuckers!)
Getting no answers and accomplishing nothing like this
(Hey boy! Get up fuckers!)
Until you greet its end?
(Hey boy! Stand up fuckers!)
Hey boy! Break into a run
(Hey boy! Get up fuckers!)
Break free of the darkness of despair
(Hey boy! Stand up fuckers!)
Right now! Charm with your despair-summit drive!
(So! Charm with your despair-summit drive!)

[Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
Run, run until you drop
(Oi! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
From this shitty world
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah-oh)
Start up that dreamless and rusted-over engine
(Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive! Despair-summit drive!)
From the foundations of despair, pull the rug out from under them
(Oi! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah-oh)
Step on the accelerator of your passion
(Drive! Drive! Drive! Drive!)
Charm them with your despair-summit drive
(Ooohhh oi!)

[Bridge: Kiryu/Majima, (Backup Vocals), All]
Des-... pair... despair... despair! Summit!
Driiive! Despair-summit driiive!
Priiide! (Des-des-) despair-summit priiide!

[Pre-Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
My potential isn't something that's for you to decide
My future and tomorrow are for me to decide
(Charm, despair-summit pride!)

[Chorus: Kiryu, (Backup Vocals)]
Burn up, burn up and burn out
(Oi! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The garbage past you want to forget
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah-oh)
With the lightless and rusted-over incinerator in your chest
(Pride! Pride! Pride! Pride! Despair-summit pride!)
From the summit of despair, look down on them
(Oi! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah-oh)
Rise up and become the crane of the trash heap
(Pride! Pride! Pride! Pride!)
Charm them with your despair-summit pride!
(Ooohhh oi!)

The in-game version of the song continues from this point.

[Outro: Backup Vocals, 【Backup Vocals/(Majima)】]
【Did you find your answer, boys?/(Did you find your answer, bro?)】
【Did the answer find you, girls?/(Did the answer find you, sis?)】
【The answer was always/("The answer" was always)】
Inside of you from the beginning
So drop the pretense of anxiety
Run! Run! Ruuuuuun!
