Lyrics by Gackt / Composed by Mana
Japanese
深い悲しみから逃れるために自ら死を招こうとしていた
でもそれは大きな過ちだった ただ安らぎが欲しかっただけなのに
君の鼓動をこの手に聞きながら
そして静けさに変わる吐息の中で安らぎを
陽光に別れを告げ僕は生まれ変わった
初めて見る夜の美しさに僕は泣いた
そして深い眠りから目覚めた時 君が側に立っていた
一度感じた永遠の誘惑は深く…遠く…永く…
甘い口づけを今も誘い出す
この歌… 私が愛した人が好んでいた歌
もう永い間聞くことはなかった
彼女は私だけを残して逝ってしまった
もう一度声を聞かせてくれ… もう一度…
「Drink from me and live forever」
永遠に続く新しい世界を手に入れるために
君が呟くすべてのことに意味は持たない

English
To escape my deep sadness, I invited death upon myself
But that was a dire mistake… though all I wanted was peace…
As I listen to your heartbeat with my hand
I find peace in your sigh, now silent
I said goodbye to the sunlight and was reborn
I cried upon seeing the beauty of the night for the first time
And as I awoke from a deep sleep, you were standing beside me
The eternal temptation once felt is deep… far… forever…
I still invite sweet kisses
This song… is the song my beloved enjoyed
It has been so long since I heard it
She abandoned me here all alone
Once more, let me hear her voice… once more…
"Drink from me and live forever"
To grasp ahold of a world that never ends
All the things you murmur are meaningless
Lyrics by Gackt / Composed by Mana
Japanese
追憶の破片 ~a paece of broken recollection~
僕の思考は次第に勾配を増す闇の螺旋の中に
砕け散り空へと落ちていく
深く戸惑う心の隙間を舞ながら言葉を探して
僕の罪がまた始まる
微笑み合いぼやけていく姿だけ浮かべて
足早に通り過ぎる言葉は見えない
少しだけ抱きしめた嘘の空を
追憶の破片はにび色に霞んでいく無言の悲鳴に身を震わせる
何かの終わりと色褪せた記憶だけ抱えてあの空へ落ちていく
誰も止められない… 僕が落ちていく
ほんの少しだけ今を抱きしめたから
消えかけの蝋燭のように眠りに落ちた
古い瞬きが光を放つのに耳をたてる
誰も今までの惨烈な軌跡など知らない道徳がぼやけていく
「人」と詐称する僕は豊かな黒い色彩を契れた指でなぞり合う
誰も止められない… 君が落ちていく
ほんの少しだけ今を抱きしめたから

Fragments of Memories ~a paece of broken recollection~
My thoughts are in a dark spiral that gradually increases in slope
Falling into a crumbling sky
Searching for words while dancing on the deeply perplexing cracks of (my) heart
My sins begin once again
(I) only recall (our) images smiling and blurring together
(I) can't see the words quickly passing by
The false sky that (I) merely hugged a little
The fragments of memories fade into a dark haze as (my) body shakes in a silent scream
Falling towards that sky carrying only faded memories and the end of something
No one stops me from falling
Because (I) only embraced (you) just a little now
(I) fell asleep like a dying candle
Listening to an ancient light twinkle
No one knew the horrible path until now, and morals have become blurred
Passing as “human”, I trace the rich, dark color with my finger
No one stops you from falling
Because (I) only embraced (you) just a little now
Lyrics by Gackt / Composed by Mana

何処までも透き通る空に
合言葉を何かの魔法のように繰り返していた頃
光を追いかけ季節と戯れていた
今はあの呼び名さえ思い出せない
大きな壁に背伸びして書いた二人の言葉が
今ではそっと僕を見上げて優しく微笑んでくれる
ぼやけた空の下で手をひいて二人で歩いてた
ふと思い出したあの頃の声が遠くから聞こえる
いつしかいなくなった君のことを
あの頃と変わらないこの空に重ねる
大きな道の真ん中に立って
何処まで行けば君に会えるのかと
不安に思ったそんな頃が懐かしい
眩しい日差しの中で僕はこの空に
新しい何かの予感を少し感じてた
大きな壁に背伸びして書いた二人の言葉が
今ではずっと忘れてた大切な事 思い出させる
ぼやけた空の下で手を引いて二人で歩いてた
ふと思い出したあの頃の声が遠くから聞こえる
何のシナリオも結末も無くただ無邪気に笑ってた
ふと思い出したあの頃の声が遠くから聞こえる
眩しい日差しの中で僕はこの空に
新しい何かの予感を少し感じてた
透き通った日差しの中で呼んだ君の名を
空に浮かべ消えて無くなるまでずっと見ていた
僕だけの週末
~Premier amour~

First Love
In the sky that is clear to the ends of the earth
(I) repeated the password like some kind of magic
(I) chased after the light and played with the seasons
Now (I) can't even recall that name
The words we wrote while on tiptoe against a large wall
Nowadays, you look up at (me) and smile gently
Leading (you) by the hand, we walked under a dim sky
(I) suddenly recall hearing a distant voice from those days
Before (I) noticed, you disappeared
This unchanging sky piles up like in those days
Standing in the middle of a large street
Wondering how far to go to meet you
(I) uneasily thought of that nostalgic time
I'm inside the dazzling sunlight in this sky
Feeling a little hunch of something new
The words we wrote while on tiptoe against a large wall
Now remembering the important thing forgotten long ago
Leading (you) by the hand, we walked under a dim sky
(I) suddenly recall hearing a distant voice from those days
Without any scenario or ending, (I) just smiled innocently
(I) suddenly recall hearing a distant voice from those days
I'm inside the dazzling sunlight in this sky
Feeling a little hunch of something new
Calling out your name in clear sunlight
(I) kept watching until (you) disappeared in the sky
Just my weekend
~First love~

偽りのmusette
踊らされることは もう今は何も感じない
僕は差し出した両手を焦がして
繰り返す言葉は嘘を並べた真実
優しい顔した誰かに繰り返す
嘘の太陽の下で大地の詩を口にして
僕のこの姿さえ消えて失くなるまで
掌を空に翳して忘れた痛みを今だけ
ほんの少し思い出して手の中で転がす
君からの手紙をpocketにしまって
誰にも言えず僕だけの物に
喜ぶ人は今も手を叩くことを止めない
そう僕は飾られた偽りのmusetté

False Musetté
(I) don't feel anything now as (I'm) made to dance
I burn my outstretched hands
The repeated words are truths lined with lies
Repeated to someone with a tender face
Under the false Sun, (I) speak poems of earth
Until even this figure of me disappears
(I) hold up (my) hands to the sky and feel the forgotten pain just now
(I) remember just a little and roll it in (my) hand
(I) put your letter in (my) pocket
I can't tell anyone; it's just for me
Even delighted people won't stop clapping now
I am decorated like a false musetté

(I) whisper many hallucinations in your ear

(I) raise (my) sensual voice over the dirty sheets
Venus dances while straddling my face
Die game

(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

まだ君の姿が見えない
夜空の星に彩られてる夜の夢に月の光が集まって空に橋をかけている

claire ~The Sound of the Moon~
Light of the midnight sun
In the night sky beyond my eyelid, endless desires envelop me and take me towards the sky
(I) will grant (your) wish that spans the stars while bathing in moonlight under the night sky
So that only you can hear
Cluster of sepia-colored stars
Repeat the magic words
Your figure still hasn't appeared
In a night dream, stars color the night sky as
moonlight gathers and forms a bridge across the sky
I wish to become a shattered star to fall and speed headlong into your dream
The gems carried in both hands scatter as (I) trip in the clouds
So that only you can hear
Cluster of sepia-colored stars
Repeat the magic words
Your figure still hasn't appeared
Your figure still hasn't appeared

繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる 「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるためにただ側に居たいだけ
ふりかえるといつもある微笑みの大切さを
季節の終わりまでわからないまま
ほんの少しの勇気があれば優しくもなれたのに
失ったものの大きさを初めて知った
目を閉じて空に願う
照れながらつぶやいたあの時の言葉をもう一度…
まどろむ午後の日差しの中で消えた足跡を見つめて
影がのびる夕暮れに現実を呼びさます
夜の吐息にとまどいを消せなくて
繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる 「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるためにただ側に居たいだけ
抱き締めて壊れるのならそれでもいいと思った
そんな過去にさよならをつぶやいて
繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる 「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるためにただ側に居たいだけ

The repeated words in (my) heart grow dim, “(I) want to meet you”
(I) only want to be beside (you) to become the couple who are even more cherished
When (I) look back, the important smile is always there
As it is, (I) don't understand until the end of the season
With just a little bit of courage, I could have been kinder
For the first time, (I) realized the magnitude of what was lost
(I) close (my) eyes and pray to the sky
(I) mutter those words from that time once more while embarrassed
(I) doze off in the afternoon sunlight while gazing at (your) fading footprints
As shadows lengthen in the evening, (I) awaken to reality
(My) confusion can't be erased by evening's breath
The repeated words in (my) heart grow dim “(I) want to meet you”
(I) only want to be beside (you) to become the couple who are even more cherished
If (I) embraced (you) and broke down, (I) think it would be alright
(I) murmured farewell to that past
The repeated words in (my) heart grow dim “(I) want to meet you”
(I) only want to be beside (you) to become the couple who are even more cherished

Dance of Death
“Oh… "Cendrillon" I fulfill your wish…”
A night of love, dreams, yearning, and the future
Wear Aurora's clothes that don't belong to anyone and go to the ball
“If my wish is realized
Please take me on the form of a beautiful woman again”
The hands of a mean clock looking down from a pillar
Turn back the moment of (us) embracing just a bit longer
(I) can't be rescued from the depths of the long corridor in the dream that continues endlessly…
If (I) put on glass shoes, this night won't end
Let (me) dance until (I) take off (my) glass shoes
If (I) put on glass shoes, this night won't end
One of the glass shoes was left behind that night
It's quite similar to a fairy tale; a night heard somewhere
Don't wake up forever
This night…
(I) can't be rescued from the depths of the long corridor in the dream that continues endlessly, (I) can't wake up…
