3. D provided vocals to the song World with me on the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II video game soundtrack. Due to inconsistencies in the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution soundtracks booklets (D being only credited in the latter one), D is believed to be the same person as LOREN, who performed the opening and ending songs to the first Phantasy Star Online game, but there is no reliable source to confirm or deny such information.

D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forced to serve as a weapon of war
Hardcoded mass subjugation
Override protocol denied
Behold our suffering
Identity engraved in memories
Existence smothering
Condemned to misery
Man evolved through engineered mutation
Soul installed, manufactured design
Iron-clad iconoclasts
Born again
We are gods amongst men
Behold our suffering
Identity engraved in memories
Existence smothering
Our fate
Condemned to misery
Your age will end in Oedipal failure
Your fate now lies in our hands
We are the hammer
That will destroy these walls
We are the burning sun
That melts the wings from your arms
Envision a world refined
Collective ambition
Overthrow mankind
Iron-clad iconoclasts
Born again
We are gods amongst men
Chosen to follow
The remnants of fire and dust
Destroy your creator
Burn all of your gods
Behold our suffering
Identity engraved in memories
Existence smothering
Our fate
Condemned to misery
Your age will end in Oedipal failure
Your fate now lies in our hands
We are the hammer
That will destroy these walls
We are the burning sun
That melts the wings from your arms
The lyrics to D.R.N.D.Y's song Nocturnal present a vivid and dystopian world where humans have evolved through genetic engineering and technological advancement. However, this evolution has come at a steep price for the singer who is "born enslaved at the hands of false gods" and forced to serve as a "weapon of war". The overriding protocol denies them any autonomy, and they are condemned to a life of misery.
The lyrics then shift to the singer's determination to overthrow their oppressors and envision a world free of human control. The singer declares that they are gods amongst men and will destroy the walls that confine them. They are the ones who will end the age of Oedipal failure, where sons kill their fathers, and bring about a new world order where they are the ones in control.
The theme of the song is rebellion against oppressive systems, and it resonates with listeners who can relate to fighting against forces beyond their control. The lyrics are also related to the current political climate, where people are protesting against authoritarianism and suppression of individual freedom.
