The reason there are no lyrics is because there literally aren't lyrics. At least, not that have a translation. I haven't played Automata yet, but one of the reasons I loved the original NieR so much is how much work went into the soundtrack.In fact, the "lyrics" of every song are gibberish words based on different languages, and what they might sound like if they continued to evolve over the next few thousand years. Like, one song would be made up of "words" heavily based on the French language, dialect and pronunciation ( example ), another on Japanese, etc.
