I found the kanji lyrics here: [ Ссылка ]

If you see any errors, have any suggestions, or just want to chat about the song, please let me know! I'd love any sort of feedback.

Some notes:
The title, "taidou," means "quickening," which is the first movement a fetus makes during gestation. The word has a more symbolic interpretation as well; my dictionary gave "fomenting (trouble)" as another definition.

In the lyrics, everything that would normally be written in hiragana is in katakana. In a case like this, katakana can be used to add emphasis, sort of like how italics or caps lock adds emphasis in English.

"Risou" ("ideal" at 0:35, 1:04, 2:06) can also mean "dream."

I have also seen "koushi" ("lattice" at 1:29) translated as "grid" and "bars" (like jail cell bars).

"Teppeki" ("iron wall" at 1:47) can also be "impregnable fortress."

"Arubeki" ("paradigm" at 2:21) also means "ideal" or "the way something should be."

Please let me know of any errors I might have made or if you'd like me to explain something more fully. I look forward to your feedback!
