Japanese
Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod.
服を脱ぎ横たわる姿に祈りを捧げて
Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod.
もし一度手にしてしまえば逃れることは出来ない
ダビデの星のもとで全てと交わる
解き放たれたその躰から流れる血も傷みも快楽へと変わる
救われぬ躰で踊る仕草はセミラミスのように美しく
身を委ねもがき狂い舞う躰を
ホーリーグレイルで頂へと昇り詰めればいい
“CALL BACK”
I’m sunk in the abysmal swamp
“BORN AGAIN”
Where there is no foothold
“GROVE”
I have reached the watery depths
“WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?”
Distorted face…
Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod.
モーリヤに身を落とし揺れて…揺れて夢の中で踊る
夢の狭間でボアズを口にくわえ揺れる胸も躰も永遠に操られて
救われぬ躰で踊る仕草はセミラミスのように美しく
身を委ねもがき狂い舞う躰を
ホーリーグレイルで頂へと昇り詰めればいい

Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod1.
Take off your clothes and I'll offer a prayer to your prostrate form
Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod.
If I grasp you just once, you can no longer run away
We will join under the Star of David
The blood and pain that flow from your liberated body turn into pleasure
The gesture of dancing with an unsalvageable body is as beautiful as Semiramis2
Surrender to your body, writhing and dancing madly
All you have to do is climb to the top on the Holy Grail
“CALL BACK”
I’m sunk in the abysmal swamp
“BORN AGAIN”
Where there is no foothold
“GROVE”
I have reached the watery depths
“WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?”
Distorted face…
Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod.
Disguise yourself as Moria3 and sway… sway and dance in your dreams
Between my dreams, my swaying breasts and body are forever manipulated with Boaz4 in my mouth
The gestures your irredeemable body makes you dance are as beautiful as Semiramis
Abandon yourself and let your body, in its writhing, dance crazily
Rise to its climax with the Holy Grail
Magical or Merriment. Communion with Nimrod.

Japanese
幾つもの幻覚を君の耳元でささやき
君の回路shortさせて治してよあげる
汚れたsheetsの上で官能の声を張り上げて
僕の顔を跨ぎながら踊っているvenus
「Die game…」
太陽になりたくて月の上で僕は
胸にknifeを突き刺して遊んでいる
羽を広げ空へ舞い上がる僕は
火に抱かれ歓喜の声を張り叫ぶ
with the venus
太陽になりたくて月の上で僕は
胸にknifeを突き刺して遊んでいる
「Die game…」

(I) whisper many hallucinations in your ear
(I'll) short circuit and heal you
(I) raise (my) sensual voice over the dirty sheets
Venus dances while straddling my face
“Die game…”
I'm on the Moon (wanting) to become the Sun
(I'm) playing with a knife stuck in (my) chest
I spread my wings and soar to the sky
Embraced by flames, (my) voice shouts of joy
I'm on the Moon (wanting) to become the Sun
