[Intro] Exactly 100 years ago, there existed an elusive island, appearing and disappearing like a mirage revealed only by a seductive mist… Upon this island, which was said to materialize on the reverse side of a real world dastardly prison, was a Purgatory more akin to a hellscape for those whose sins were yet to be judged Beyond death From here, a voice pierces through that sultry mist to reach thе ears of a willing listener… I wondеr... Can you hear it? [Verse 1] This ain’t the kinda story to start with “once upon a time” Painted, designed and fortified this narrative of the devilish kind SWITCH on the poetic tricks “GET RICH, and get it quick” Nice pitch, but reality’s rhetoric promises addicts no easy fix… Let’s take a journey down the River Styx, amigo, how ‘bout it? Somewhat concerning ferry excursion, cuz the path is clouded Mystifying misty island in the distance designed as a twisted asylum for the wild and the violent 煉獄って言う場所か? For the ones ‘bout to pass Some people call it “purgatory” but the others call it “ALKATRAZ” A place in-between the AfterStories unseen They say disgraced by the screams and laughter, torturous dreams, disaster 地獄と上界の間ある刑務所 The joke’s that prison life’s a wild, sadistic gameshow! Might die again of boredom in these walls so confined But will I ever make it out? Not ‘til the Warden decides [Chorus] Oh, I’m so criminal Rhymes so cynical Why so critical? Stop getting political It might not shock my friends, but I ain’t fixable I’m only here because YOU told me to “live a little.” Oh, I’m so criminal Rhymes so cynical Why so critical? Stop getting political It might not shock my friends, but I ain’t fixable I’m only here because YOU told me to “live a little.” [Narration] Well isn’t it your lucky day You get the grand tour All right then...
