Syunikiss~二度目の哀悼~
Hold on… you’re gonna be okey…
somebody… help us…
Ah… 君が繰り返す独り言は君の最後に僕が叫んだ言葉
祈りが届いたのか…目の前に記憶のままの君が居る
Ah… 君が繰り返す独り言は誰も知るはずもない最後の言葉
駆け寄った僕は君を抱き震える指で頬をなぞる
Ah… 僕の願いを叶えてくれた空にやどる主へ
もう一度願いを叶えて…「彼女に心を戻して」
冷たい瞳で空を見つめてる
帰るべき場所を知っているかのように
Ah… 僕の願いを叶えてくれた空にやどる主へ
もう一度願いを叶えて…「彼女に心を戻して」
Ah… 僕の願いを叶えてくれた空にやどる主へ
最後の願いを叶えて…「彼女を安らかに眠らせて」
冷たい指で涙の跡をなぞる
震える声で「空に帰して…」と繰り返す

Syunikiss ~Second Time Condolences~
Hold on… you’re gonna be okay…
Somebody… help us…
Ah… your repeated soliloquy were the words shouted at you in your final moments
Have (my) prayers been heard?… You exist before (me) as you were in (my) memories
Ah… the repeated soliloquy in your final moments are words no one should know
I rush over to embrace you and my trembling fingers trace your cheek
Ah… to the Lord who lives in the heavens who granted my wish
Grant (my) wish once more… "Return her heart to her"
With cold eyes staring at the sky
As if knowing the place (she) should return to
Ah… to the Lord who lives in the heavens who granted my wish
Grant (my) wish once more… "Return her heart to her"
Ah… to the Lord who lives in the heavens who granted my wish
Grant (my) last wish… "Let her sleep peacefully"
Cold fingers trace the remnants of tears
With a trembling voice, (I) repeat "Return to the sky…"

ヴェル・エール~空白の瞬間の中で~
さあ目を開けて僕を見てよ
ほらまだ温もりさえ 僕の手の平に抱かれている現実は
もう痛みも無い中で
貴女は何を現在も想っているの
この背中を包む夜と闇に絵を描く僕は 時間という名の支配者に操られて
大空に浮かべた思い出の中で 踊る二人を見つめ泣いていた
最後までさよならさえ言えずこの場所で 眠りに落ちた貴女を抱いていたくて
揺れながら足を浮かせ…
この痛みを増す夜に同じ言葉を繰り返し 揺れながら空に足を浮かせて
大空に浮かべた思い出の中で 僕を見つめた貴女は微笑んで
最後まで腕を伸ばして薄れていく声は 現実を見つめることを祈って
そっと
大空に浮かべた思い出の中で 踊る二人は今も微笑んで
長い夜の終わりを告げるこの腕で 眠りに落ちた貴女を抱いていたくて
揺れながら足を浮かせ…
揺れながら空に身を寄せて…

Vers Elle ~In A Blank Moment~
Now open (your) eyes and look at me
Look, there's still warmth of reality held in my hand
With no more pain
What are you thinking of now?
I paint a picture as night and darkness wrap around my back and I am controlled by this ruler called time
Inside the memories floating to the heavens, (I) gazed at a dancing couple and wept
(I) want to hold you as you fall asleep in this place, unable to say farewell until the end
Trembling as (my) feet float…
On this night when the pain increases, (I) repeat the same words, trembling as (my) feet float to the heavens
Inside the memories floating to the heavens, I gazed at a smiling you
(My) voice fades as (my) arm stretches until the end, praying for this event to be reality
Gently
Inside the memories floating to the heavens, the dancing couple are now smiling
(I) want to hold you in my arms as you fall asleep, marking the end of a long night
Trembling as (my) feet float…
Trembling as (my) body approaches the heavens…

Magical or Meriment. Comunion with Nimrod.
服を脱ぎ横たわる姿に祈りを捧げて
Magical or Meriment. Comunion 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 Meriment. Comunion 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 NimrodI.
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 SemiramisII
Surrender to your body, writhing and dancing madly
All you have to do is climb to the top of 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

Disguise yourself as MoriaIII and sway… sway and dance in your dreams
Between my dreams, my swaying breasts and body are forever manipulated with BoazVI 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.

肌が透き通り夜を優しく抱き締める空がそっと舞い降りて来る頃
風のざわめきは指の隙間をすりぬけながら遊んでいる
君はてのひらを優しく差し出して
この空に飛び込んだ僕の行き先を瞬きもせずじっと見てる
何もない白い部屋の窓から小さな体をのばして
この空に少し近づいた君は僕と二人で踊っている
静かな夜には僕がこの子守歌でなぐさめてあげるから
そんなに泣かないで
風がささやいた
「アスファルトの焼けた匂いもこの夜にはないよ」と
突然の周りの出来事に君はどうしていいか… 戸惑っている?
君はてのひらを優しく差し出してこの胸に飛び込んだ
街の静けさも歳の数の灯も君のために
何もない白い部屋の窓から遠くの景色を眺めて
夕暮れに少し冷たい風をまとい
この日のためにいつも奇跡を祈っていた
何もない白い部屋の窓から小さな体をのばして
この空に少し近づいた君は僕と二人で踊っている
この空に少し近づいた君は僕と二人で踊っている
静かな夜には君の素敵な顔を見せて

Broken
Like transparent skin, the sky gently descends and affectionately embraces the night
The rustling wind slips through (my) fingers as (it's) playing
You gently hold out your palm
I jumped into this sky, staring at my destination without blinking
A small body stretches out from the window of an empty, white room
You're a little closer to this sky, and you're dancing with me
On quiet nights, I'll comfort (you) with this lullaby
Don't cry like that
The wind whispers
“There won't be the smell of burnt asphalt this night” and
Are you confused about what to do with the sudden events around you?
You gently held out your palm and jumped into (my) chest
The silence of the city and the lights of the years are all for you
Gazing at the distant scenery through the window of an empty, white room
A slightly cold wind shoots (through) the evening
I always prayed for a miracle, for this day
A small body stretches out from the window of an empty, white room
You're a little closer to this sky, and you're dancing with me
You're a little closer to this sky, and you're dancing with me
Show (me) your beautiful face on a quiet night

エーゲ~過ぎ去りし風と共に~
琥珀の想い誘う蒼い風…
部屋に響く映写機の回る音
古いフィルムの中だけで微笑ってる君…
指でそっと壁際の君をなぞる
何も変わらないこの空が
あの時の二人を雲に乗せて運んでゆく
何も変わらないこの空を
見つめてた白い君を思い出す
重なり合う記憶の中で君を抱き
指を絡め眠りに落ちてゆく
重なり合う記憶の中で君を抱き
夢の中へ深く沈んでゆける
何も変わらないこの空があの時の想いを
雲に乗せて運んでゆく
何も変わらない二人だけのこの場所で
白い君を思い出す
重なり合う記憶の中で君を抱き
指を絡め眠りに落ちてゆく
重なり合う記憶の中で君を抱き

Aegean ~With the passing wind~
The blue wind invites amber thoughts
The revolving sound of the projector resounds in the room
You only smile minutely in old films…
(I) gently trace you with (my) finger on the wall
This sky doesn't change
That time we were placed on a cloud and carried away
This sky doesn't change
(I) remember gazing at a white you
Holding you in (my) overlapping memories
(Our) fingers intwine as (we) fall asleep
Holding you in (my) overlapping memories
(We) sink deep inside the dream
This sky doesn't change, but the sentiments of that hour
Are carried away on a cloud
In this place, where only we haven't changed
(I) remember the white you
Holding you in (my) overlapping memories
(Our) fingers intwine as (we) fall asleep
Holding you in (my) overlapping memories
(We) sink deep inside the dream
(Our) fingers intwine as (we) fall asleep…
(We) sink deep inside the dream
Once again, in this same room, today is the same as everyday
Only within the walls of that unchanging time do you and I smile
Once again, (we) sink deeply…

大きくなった歩幅を気付かせた
肩にすれ違う小さな落ち葉がまた空に戻って
そんな吹き荒ぶ風さえも今はなぜか愛しくて
そっと微笑んでいた
窓辺にもたれる見なれた姿が
陰る陽射に映し出されて消える
あふれる想いにつぶやいた言葉は
「せめて夢が覚めるまで…」

あなたを抱きしめ眠りたい
優しい記憶に変わった今でさえも
この腕で抱きしめ眠りたい
出会った頃の二人のように
窓辺にもたれてざわめく並木に
そっとつぶやく同じ言葉をもう一度…
あの時の姿が見えなくなっても
せめて夢の中だけは

Goodbye
Our footsteps always echo on the road
The withered trees lining the streets
Made me realize how long our stride had grown
The small fallen leaves that pass my shoulder return to the sky again
Even the fiercely blowing wind is now somehow dear to me
You were smiling softly
A familiar figure leaning against the window
Reflects in the clouded sunlight and disappears
Overflowing with feelings, I murmured
“At least until I wake up from this dream…”
Even more
I want to hold you and sleep
Even now, tender memories are different
I want to hold you in my arms and fall asleep
Like the time we met
Leaning against the window by the rustling rows of trees
I softly murmur the same word once more…
Even if I can't see the figure from that time
At least, it's merely a dream
Even more
I want to hold you and sleep
Even now, tender memories are different
I want to hold you in my arms and fall asleep
Just like that time, that day
The two of us met
I want to hold you and fall asleep
I want to hold you in my arms and fall asleep

ほんの少しだけでいい抱かれていたい
狂わす月が夜に寄り添うように
躰を動かすことも出来ず言葉をつまらせる
冷たい指で唇をなぞる僕を押しつけて
貴方の澄んだ瞳には何も見えない

I Want You
When I met you after a long time, everything changed
(It) pulls me like an entirely different person
Enveloping the surroundings with intensifying air
Cold like the Moon made of ice
I don't appear in your clear eyes
The threads that surround (my) body completely burn away
Hold (me) for just a little while
As if the crazy Moon nestles close in the night
Unable to move (my) body as well as choke on words
Push me down as cold fingers trace my lips
Your clear eyes don't see anything
The threads that surround (my) body completely burn away
Hold (me) for just a little while
As if the crazy Moon nestles close in the night
Your clear eyes don't see anything
The threads that surround (my) body completely burn away
Hold (me) for just a little while
As if the crazy Moon nestles close in the night

English
Why can't you understand?
Why don't you smell a rat?
Though it is too noisy around you.
Why don't you speak something?
Why do you keep silent?
Nobody is in their right mind.
Why don't you think further?
Why can't you suggest idea?
Nobody has a difference in appearance…
Have you ever been filled with joy?
Why don't you be moved to tears?
Though, there are beautiful sights around you.
Why are you ****ing?
What's so funny?
It's too funny of you?
Why do you exist?
What are you going to do about it?
I don't know what will become of you.

優しい歌声に導かれて…
流れ落ちる真っ白な涙が風に吹かれ時間を刻む

小さな指で忘れていた僕の涙の跡をなぞる
君の細く透き通る声が僕を離さない
僕がここに居続けることは出来ないのに…
Ah…こぼれ落ちる涙はお別れの言葉
何も聞かず、ただ僕の胸に手を当て微笑みを浮かべ
君の頬に口づけを… 僕は君を忘れない

The Sky
Guided by a gentle singing voice…
Pure white tears that trickle down are blown away by the wind ticking away time
Innocent eyes look at me
Reflecting the endless earth
Small fingers trace the remnants of my forgotten tears
Your thin, clear voice won't let me go
Even though I can't stay here…
Ah… the tears that spill are words of farewell
Don't ask me anything, just put your hand on my chest and smile
Kiss your cheek… I won't forget you
Until I return to the sky
Your thin, clear voice won't let me go
Hug me tighter
Don't let me disappear…

月下の夜想曲
何かに導かれ、森の中を歩いていた幼い僕は
不思議にもただ引き寄せられるままに
古い小屋に着いた僕は、
ホコリにまみれた横たわるピエロに気を惹かれる
人形は哀しそうな…でも嬉しそうな顔をして、”屋敷に連れてって”と…
涙を浮かべ僕に抱かれた
階段を昇り抜け、光を放ち彼を待つ少女の人形と互いに見つめ合う
綺麗な夜だから…哀しい夜だから優しく笑って見守ってあげる
寂しい夜だから…最後の夜だからこれからも二人を離したりはしないから
月の光は彼らを…踊る彼らを映し出し、壁に映る姿は生まれ変わる前のままに
見つめ合う二人は”最後の夜…”と、つぶやいて
この夜が明けるまで熱い想いで踊る
綺麗な夜だから…哀しい夜だから泣かずに笑って見守ってあげる
寂しい夜だから…最後の夜だからこれからも二人を見守ってあげる
綺麗な夜だから…
綺麗な夜だから…哀しい夜だから優しく笑って見守ってあげる
寂しい夜だから…最後の夜だからこれからも二人を離したりはしないから
忘れたりはしないから…
二人を忘れはしないから…

Nocturnal Moonlight
Guided by something, child me walked into the forest
Strangely drawn towards it
I arrived at an old cabin,
Charmed by a pierrot lying down, covered in dust
The doll looked sad… but its expression turned delightful and said, "Take me to the mansion" and…
I held it in my arms with tears in my eyes
Ascending the staircase, he locked eyes with a maiden doll as light shone down on her
Because it's a beautiful night… because it's a miserable night, (I) watch over (them) with a tender smile
Because it's a lonely night… because it's the last night, (I) won't separate them from now on
They dance in the moonlight… their figures are reflected on the wall before they're reborn
They stared at each other and murmured, "it's the last night"
Because it's a beautiful night… because it's a miserable night, so (I) won't cry and watch over (them) with a smile
Because it's a lonely night… because it's the last night, (I'll) watch over (them) from now on
Because it's a beautiful night…
Because it's a beautiful night… because it's a miserable night, (I) watch over (them) with a tender smile
Because it's a lonely night… because it's the last night, (I) won't separate them from now on
(I) won't forget…
(I) won't forget them…

静かなる妖精達よ…全ての怒りを鎮め
静かなる妖精達よ…罪人を許しておくれ
この歌声はそよ風と共に 森と大地を駆け抜けて祈りを叶える
静かなる妖精達よ…私の犯した罪を
許してもらえるまで私は歌い続ける…
この声が無くなるまで

Wood of Wonders
Fairies become silent… to calm all anger
Fairies become silent… to forgive the sinners
This singing voice, along with the gentle breeze, runs through the forest and the earth, grants prayers
Fairies become silent… for the sins I committed
I'll keep singing until (you) forgive (me)…
Until this voice disappears
