Apparently, the automated uploads on Youtube come with BMG approved/ automated (?) lyrics for some of the tracks. Slightly edited for reading convenience.

Eve of Destruction
The eve of destruction (7x)
The eve of destruction (Human minds are simplified) (4x)
The eve of destruction (Sacrifice is justified) (4x)
We can't afford the water
Sacrifice is justified
Everyone is left to die
Human minds are simplified
Keep runnin', keep runnin'
Sacrifice is justified
Keep runnin', keep runnin'
Maybe I'll find a friend (3x)
To spend the weekend
Brothers and the suicide
What's to try out? Hear me now
He guideline, he guideline
Eve of destruction
Maybe I'll find a friend (3x)
To spend the weekend
ダンダン ダダン スタン ダンダン (4x)
ぶっ壊したい何もかも (4x)
God fucking a damn そこさ今
イブはアダムとする ていうのは
白い色は見えない
(?) 止めないことはない
何も知らす踊りたい
気づく まだそばに
居てくれる人は無し 友達とはいないけど dance
(ぶっ壊したい何もかも) (3x)
Maybe I'll find a friend (3x)
To spend the weekend
The eve of destruction (8x)

Bango
I'm falling fast in
In your eyes
I feel
I, I feel, that I might
Save you
Save you
We are an unbalanced couple
I am strong and you are weak
You are quiet while I speak
And I am tired of talking to myself
You are quiet while I speak
I won't back down, give me my thunder (4x)

The Universe Sent Me
I cave in (22x)
The universe has sent me a message
It came in the fire, encrypted with time, time, time, time
Ecstatic emotions, drive right through me
Pointy like fingernails on a beautiful lady
Uh-uh-uh-uh (7x)
You should know I like when I talk
You always know this (know this, know this, know this)
The Universe has sent me a message
It came in a flower, engraved in with time, time, time
I smelled it with my mind and began to search for something
Something (6x)
I cave in (16x)
(Help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in (one too many times)

We've Got to Try
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I know we can make it girl
Yes I know we can make it girl
If we just try
We've got to try
Got to find a way to me baby! (3x)
I know we can make it girl
Yes I know we can make it girl
If we just try
We've got to try
Got to find a way to me baby!
Got to find a way to me baby!
I know we can make it girl
Yes I know we can make it girl
If we just try
Got to find a way to me baby! (4x)

Catch Me I'm Falling
In a definite twilight, wearin' our finery
I'm in your arms and you're inside of me-me-me
And then when you go, where will you go?
I promise that I love you, dear, more than you will ever know
You said, "Hide"
I'm in your arms and you're inside of me
And I'm in your arms and you're inside of me
And the danger is so much greater when it comes to losin' you
And the danger is so much greater when it comes to losin' you
Losin' you, losin' you, when it comes to losin' you
Losin' you, losin' you, when it comes to losin' you
In a definite twilight, wearin' our finery
I'm in your arms and you're inside of me-me-me
And then when you go, where will you go?
I promise that I love you, dear, more than you will ever know
You said, "Hide"
I'm in your arms and you're inside of me
And I'm in your arms and you're inside of me
And the danger is so much greater when it comes to losin' you
And the danger is so much greater when it comes to losin' you
Losin' you, losin' you, when it comes to losin' you
Losin' you, losin' you, when it comes to losin' you
Losin' you, losin' you
Losin' you, losin' you

"You cannot eat money, oh no. You cannot eat money, oh no. When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, you cannot eat money, oh no."
— Aurora (The Seed)

Here's my rough translation so far. I'm not 100% sure the written lyrics are accurate to the song. It'll be easier when I can listen on my computer. Some words are in parenthesis if the pronouns aren't explicit. I'll edit it when I get a better listen:

ダンダン ダダン スタン ダンダン (4x)
Dan-dan da-dance ta-dan-dan
ぶっ壊したい何もかも (4x)
(I/you) can destroy anything (I/you) want.
God fucking a damn そこさ今
God fucking damn, now there.*
イブはアダムとする ていうのは
Eve is a Adam
白い色は見えない
(I/Adam?) can't see white.
(?) 止めないことはない
(I/We/it) cannot be stopped.
何も知らす踊りたい
I want to dance without knowing
気づく まだそばに
居てくれる人は無し 友達とはいないけど
But I still know there are no people that'll remain/stay close, no friends.
(ぶっ壊したい何もかも) (3x)
You can break down anything you want. (x3)

*The Japanese phonetic version of saying god fucking damn would be "godu fukunga damu" so I don't think it should be "a damn"

Thanks for your efforts Biff. If they choose to release it as a single I wonder if they'll bother to edit the swearing, or just decide that most people won't understand it.

Eve of Destruction
...
Brothers and the suicide
What's to try out? Hear me now
He guideline, he guideline
Eve of destruction...

I'm inclined to agree with WN's previous coments on these lyrics. I don't know what they should be, but this feels wrong.
I don't think Aurora can be saying "now" in "hear me now" unless she picked up a Northern Irish accent somewhere. It's meant to rhyme with suicide in the line above, surely.
The line sounds more like "just to try and humanise" to me. Come to think of it, I'm not sure "Brothers and the suicide" is correct either.

Also "He guideline, he guideline" is just gibberish.

Maybe we need to track down those obsessive Aurora stan-girls and see if they have this stuff figured out.
IT'S MORNING TIME!

Yeah, I noticed that too, that's why I later added that it might be auto-generated. I was kind of surprised, though, to see the "lyrics by BMG" annotation and thought they were at least somewhat credible (first time I saw Japanese parts for EoD) and they did differ from other lyric sites on the web (like for TUSM).
"You cannot eat money, oh no. You cannot eat money, oh no. When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, you cannot eat money, oh no."
— Aurora (The Seed)

I managed to isolate the Aurora's vocals from TUSM and got some clearer results of what the vocals are!

The Universe Sent Me

The universe has sent me a message
It came in flower, encrypted with time, time, time, time
Ecstatic emotions, drive right through me
Pointy like fingernails on a beautiful lady
Uh-uh-uh-uh (7x)
You should know I lied
When I told you I was nervous (nervous, nervous, nervous)

The Universe has sent me a message
It came in a flower, encrypted with time, time, time
I smelled it with my mind and began to search for something
Search for something (3x)
And certain
And slowly
I made it


I cave in (16x)
(Help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in (help me become divine, help me become divine)
I cave in (one too many times)

I also have a theory "a message" is "on my search" instead.
And I feel like I'm dreaming...and I feel like I'm dreaming...

I'm on side for "send me a message".
Hi Kevin!

This gave me the idea to try the old "invert the instrumental over the original" trick to isolate the vocals and it worked pretty well.

I... I'm still not completely sure what she's singing, but it's definitely not what's written. my best guess:

? social suicide
?
?
Eve of destruction

Give it a shot yourself, attached:

I feel the second line ends with "humanoid"

I also did the vocal inversion (used it to make an extended edit of the song), and the vocoded bits are indeed corrected, there's a clear "simplified" in the vocal instead of the at first thought "signified"
And I feel like I'm dreaming...and I feel like I'm dreaming...

My best guess:

Brought to social suicide
Pressed up (pestered?) by a humanoid (our human eyes?)
He enjoyed life, he enjoyed life
Eve of destruction
Never for money, always for love.

Not confident on the first two lines. But 100% sure of the last two:

Not this social suicide
Twisted by our human eyes.
Enjoy my, enjoy my.
Eve of destruction.

^ well done on getting the last line right!

But actually I think I pretty much agree with all of yours, Enjoyed. "Twisted" also sounds a bit like "trusted", but that doesn't really make sense. Or maybe it does?

Human eye(s) kinda sounds singular though. I can't hear an 's' at the end.

So in short - what Enjoyed said, but I think Human Eye may be singular.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*EDIT* hang on, now I'm hearing WN's version of the first line. I kinda hear it both of the above ways depending on how I "prime" myself in advance.

That the so called Hi-Kevin-effect.

Thankfully I have never, and will never, hear that.

And you and me too.

With EOD maybe It's a good Idea to ask the Aurora herself? :D
Where do I start?
Where do I begin?

I always heard "message". On my search doesnt really make sense

Can I get the link please?
Where do I start?

In Eve Of Destruction I hear:

not this social suicide
twisted by our human eyes
enjoy life, enjoy life
eve of destruction
Just get yourself high.
