Dragging our ship down, gone with the pipe
this is their town and their dream
I miss ya so, coz ya so loud
i'm so dirty how am I so let down
my violence it make me feel

何時間 其の顔 微塵
感じる外傷を顔面に発砲
missed her faint lie(unintelligible)
(Unintelligible) affectionate light
i can't tell man always so drunk and
The future's a...a vision now left
I foresee all of me
i (unintelligible) i can't see
i found a master four nine
i can't lie I don't feel right
i can't fight anymore...

The song is about the act of genocide or violent oppression of another nation. But tells it through the metaphor of an abusive boyfriend/spouse(the aggressive nation) dealing with the guilt of killing his partner(the victimized nation) via gunshot, and is now trapped in Sheol experiencing his own personal hell. Just like nations who were responsible for atrocious acts on others, have to own up to what they did.
Seeing as this song came out a couple of years after the start of the Iraq war, and many artists and musicians from other countries were making art and music that protested against the American government, my guess is that this was directed towards the US govt.

These lyrics most certainly were not on the official website years ago, this is a mistranslation that a lot of people have been spreading around since 2011. Some of the words that Akira sings in both english and in japanese in many of the band's songs aren't even intelligible due to his unique vocal style. So listeners just made up those parts on their own. Jistu's translation is mostly correct actually.

"I found a master four nine" should actually be "I found a master for life"
"I found a master four nine" should actually be "I found a master for life"
As mentioned before Akira's vocal style can be unintelligible because he tends to slur his words, whether singing in english or japanese. That's not a bad thing either, it adds to the atmosphere in a lot the band's music.
The japanese parts translate to
How long have I been here?
And who the f**k are you? (x2)
Your faces I can't escape
With holes where my bullets filled (x2)
And Jistu is also correct in the interpretation. This song released back in 2006, during the time many countries around the world were protesting the USA's invasion of Iraq. This included Japan. Hayao Miyazaki was openly protesting by refusing to make appearances in the US, Japanese game developers were protesting in their own ways. Ikd-sj was very likely protesting with this song.
Majority of the words in these lyrics are wrong.
Corrected version:

Firstly, you didn't need to correct the lyrics, these lyrics are official, these lyrics were on their official website years ago
