無義道 - WHITEOUT [NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST]

Preface : This is my first time translating lyrics, so I'm still a little nervous. I was at the tour final on 3.10, and Hiro said some things in an MC about their recent songs -thematically- and gave me more confidence that I could do this justice. Musically and vocally, it's an absolutely beautiful song, and I strongly recommend it. I've also included the original Japanese, and romanised lyrics.
