1. World without logos
https://youtu.be/FLeF5RxBNh0?si=xjyl5oEJREXeuieEThe song is used for the opening of hellsing, the lyrics are made of English sounding, according to ishii it is called world without logos due to logos meaning logic in greek so it could be roughly translated to as world without logic which explains the gibberish lyrics it also means a world without god.
2. When going to war fight with arrows, spears and swords
https://youtu.be/C9HOPc76LQE?si=Oa9roHkg8Ac4_OUbThe song is about ishii lamenting over modern greed/capitalism and someone who only chases that in life, the songs name meaning is derived from ishii’s belief that we should not use guns in warfare since they are too easy to use and we should fight with tools/martial art that improve focus.
