It's actually another song.  Won't make much sense unless you read Maze
Games 2, though (now available at both Lori's site, http://web2.spydernet.com/lori/gatchaman/archive.htm, and my site at

Katse's Song (2)    To The Warchild, From Hell

Darkness on my left
And nightmare on my right
I reach, but I can never grasp the light
I turned my back on sanity
To walk the twisted paths
Till I awoke, and found me here
On this cold and dark hillside

*    And now I'm calling out from Hell
     To warn my only child
     Turn back! Turn back,
     Do not take the twisted path
     But she cannot hear me, she cannot hear me
     And so I plead with you
     Take a message from a father
     To the Warchild, from Hell

I chose my lonely path
Though 'twas the only choice that I could make
Still I cannot rail against my well deserved fate
But she still has a chance
The child that I never knew
She follows in my footsteps,
but I will not see her damned

     Chorus (*)

She deceives herself with ambitious dreams
And believes that things are what they seem
She worships me, a fantasy
Of nothing I could ever be
And there's so much that she could be
If she would only see
But she's dooming herself, and damning herself
On the same path that claimed me

And so I'm crying out from Hell
To warn my only child
Turn back! Turn back,
Do not take the twisted path,
But she cannot hear me, she cannot hear me
No matter how loud I scream
And so I plead with you  
What else can a father do?
Take a message to the Warchild,
she who's called the Chaos Bringer
And tell her that it comes
from her father down in Hell.
