This song is a fanmade song for Persona 5.

The confusion of Akechi in Ranpo's writings
A calling card dances in the big city gleaming gold

Days like the pages of a book
This world is truly a pleasure

I could hear it - a voice calling for help
Shadowy figures on the run under red light
Cheers, jeers, and grinning masks
Give power to the protagonist
Let's enjoy ourselves!
Alright, now we're coming to steal your heart

Angel or demon - it doesn't really matter
The fourth wall blocking us may be a problem

Even though I desired this so badly,
I can't even find a place behind the scenes as a supporting role

I'm begging you, please, someone help me!
I'll say it as many times as I have to, so please hear me out
I haven't provided my grandfather's name, though
Who am I?
The truth is always cruel

Steal my dark heart
From here on, I want to illuminate the future's path with what's right
I want to find my own name, my treasure
The truth is always infinite

Defrosting seeks out freezing.*

Note: The line here is "凍てつき求める かいとう". Kaitou, while meaning "Phantom Thief", also means "defrosting" and I'm pretty sure that's what was intended for this line, otherwise the word for "freezing" seems strange to me. If anyone knows a better way of phrasing this line, please let me know!
