The Empire.
Salute the Flag! Invasion!
十字架の下
The Empire.
Salute the Flag! Invasion!
Juujika no moto
The Empire.
Salute the Flag! Invasion!
Under the cross.

 

Onfall of Roses.
薔薇よ咲き誇れ!
Onfall of Roses.
Bara yo sakihokore!
Onfall of Roses.
Roses, bloom proudly!

 

ここには刻などない 永遠の楽園
心を領土とする 美しき帝国
Koko ni ha toki nado nai Towa no rakuen
Kokoro wo ryoudo to suru Utsushiki teikoku
Here in the Eternal Garden, there is no such thing as time.
The beautiful empire takes dominion of the heart.

 

瞳には映らない 国境を越えて
優雅なる闇の中 共に踊ろう
Hitomi ni ha utsuranai Kokkyou wo koete
Yuuga naru yami no naka Tomo ni odorou
I cross the border not reflected in your eyes.
Let's dance together in the elegant dark.

 

芸術という名の武器を手に入れたら
ダマスクの花びらが開き出す
Geijutsu to iu na no buki wo te ni iretara
Damask no hanabira ga hirakidasu
Taking the weapon called "art" in your hand,
The damask flower petals will unfold.

 

Rose Croix 誇り高き Rose Croix 薔薇十字を掲げ
Rose Croix 迷うほどに 君は美しい
Rose Croix その心の Rose Croix 悲しみを奪おう
Rose Croix 薔薇のように 君は美しくなる
Rose Croix Hokoritakaki Rose Croix Bara juuji wo kakage
Rose Croix Mayou hodo ni Kimi ha utsukushii
Rose Croix Sono kokoro no Rose Croix Kanashimi wo ubaou
Rose Croix Bara no you ni Kimi ha utsukushiku naru
Rose Croix Proudly Rose Croix Raise the rose cross
Rose Croix You are so beautiful that I lose my way.
Rose Croix Shall I steal away Rose Croix The sadness of your heart?
Rose Croix You have become so beautiful, just like a rose.

 

視線に例外はなく 歩く人々を追う
Shisen ni reigai ha naku Aruku hitobito wo ou
Your gaze follows the walking people, not missing anyone.

 

Ah 午前零時の鐘で自画像が動き出す
君を求めて
Ah Gozen renji no kane de jigazou ga ugokidasu
Kimi wo motomete
Ah, the self-portrait begins to move to the bells of midnight.
I seek you.

 

芸術という名の騎士を引き連れて
ダマスクローズの扉よ開け!
Geijutsu to iu na no kishi wo hikitsurete
Damask rose no tobira yo hirake!
Take along the knight named "art".
Gate of damask roses, open!
