「漆黒の闇に浮かぶこの大聖堂
薔薇に導かれた記憶の空間に響きわたる雷鳴が
新たなる悪意と悲劇の物語の幕開けを告げる」
"Shikkoku no yami ni ukabu kono taiseidou
Bara ni michibikareta kioku no kuukan ni hibikiwataru raimei ga
Arata naru akui to higeki no monogatari no makuake wo tsugeru"
"This cathedral floats up in the jet black dark.
The thunder that echoes in these memories led by roses
Announces the beginning of the tale of new malice and tragedy."

 

揺れる月明かりに浮かぶ重なる影は
まるで霧のように幻想的なこの光景はあの日に見た夢
Yureru tsukiakari ni ukabu kasanaru kage ha
Marude kiri no you ni gensouteki na kono koukei ha ano hi ni mita yume
The flickering light rises in overlapping shadows,
Just like the mist. This scenery, and the dreams I saw that day, are so romantic.

 

「瞬間の霧の中に浮かぶこの大聖堂
永遠の風に乗り聞こえてくる鐘の音は
貴方の血を記憶の薔薇に変える
ここは甘美な約束の場所」
"Toki no kiri no naka ni ukabu kono taiseidou
Eien no kaze ni norikikoetekuru kane no oto ha
Anata no chi wo kioku no bara ni kaeru
Koko ha kanbi na yakusoku no basho"
"This cathedral floats up in the mist of time.
I can hear the sound of bells that ride upon the eternal wind,
And they change the memories of your blood to roses.
This is the place of sweet promise."

 

迷宮の回廊照らす蝋燭の影は
暗い礼拝堂に続く賛美歌の調べに
かき消されてゆく
Meikyuu no kairou terasu rousoku no kage ha
Kurai reihaidou ni tsuzuku sanbika no shirabe ni
Kakikesareteyuku
The shadows of the candles that light the maze corridors
Continue in to the dark place of worship, and disappear
Into the tune of the hymns.

 

聖なる光 照らされた闇は薔薇に彩られた
Seinaru hikari terasareta yami ha bara ni irodorareta
The darkness where holy light shines is colored by roses.

 

永遠の刻告げる鎮魂歌神秘なる祈りを
Eien no toki tsugeru requiem¹ shinpi naru inori wo
The mysterious prayer is the requiem announcing eternity.

 

聖なる光 照らされた闇は薔薇に彩られた
Seinaru hikari terasareta yami ha bara ni irodorareta
The darkness where holy light shines is colored by roses.

 

永遠の刻告げる鎮魂歌再会の祈りを
Eien no toki tsugeru requiem saikai no inori wo
The requiem telling of eternity is a prayer for reunion.

Notes
1. “Chingonka” (“requiem”) is written, but Klaha sings the English word.

黄昏の中 浮かぶ影
いつか見たこの光景
Tasogare no naka Ukabu kage
Itsuka mita kono koukei
I once saw a spectacle
Where shadows rose up in the twilight.

 

C'est une imagination capricieuse comme la nuit
Elle est douce, la rencontre fatale
まるで霧のように幻想的な そこは甘美な約束の場所
C'est une imagination capricieuse comme la nuit
Elle est douce, la rencontre fatale.
Marude kiri no you ni gensouteki na Soko ha kanbi na yakusoku no basho
It is the caprice of my imagination in the night.
The fatal encounter is gentle.
There is the sweet place of promise, whimsical like the mist.

 

囁き冷めた吐息 しのび寄る風よ
私は琥珀の憂い 引き裂かれてゆく
Sasayaki tsumeta toiki Shinobi yoru kaze yo
Watashi ha kohaku no urei Hikisakareteyuku
Whispering cold breath steals into the wind.
I'm torn by the amber grief.

 

真夜中に交わした約束
嘆き 闇の彼方
教会の鐘 鳴り響く時
淡い 光の中
Mayonaka ni kawashita yakusoku
Nageki Yami no kanata
Kyoukai no kane Narihibiku toki
Awai Hikari no naka
The promise we exchanged at midnight
Laments on the other side of darkness
As the bells of the church reverberate
In faint light.

 

淡き月の光に 照らされた影よ
私は深紅の薔薇のように染まりゆく
Awaki tsuki no hikari ni Terasareta kage yo
Watashi ha shinku no bara no you ni somariyuku
In the pale light of the moon, the shadows are illuminated.
I will be dyed like a deep crimson rose.

 

真夜中に交わした約束
嘆き 闇の彼方
教会の鐘 鳴り響く時
揺らぐ 光は今
Mayonaka ni  kawashita yakusoku
Nageki Yami no kanata
Kyoukai no kane Narihibiku toki
Yuragu Hikari ha ima
The promise we exchanged at midnight
Laments on the other side of darkness
As the bells of the church reverberate
Now in the trembling light.

 

太陽と共に落ちてゆく
願い 刻の彼方
夕闇と共に昇りゆく
白い 眠りの中
Taiyou to tomo ni ochiteyuku
Negai toki no kanata
Yuuyami to tomo ni noboriyuku
Shiroi nemuri no naka
I will fall with the sun
To the other side of the time I wished for,
And then I will rise with the dusk
From within the white sleep.

降りしきる雨と風 森を駆けぬける夜
鐘の調べの中 時は今…
Furishikiru ame to kaze Mori wo kakenukeru yoru
Kane no shirabe no naka Toki ha ima...
In this night of pouring rain and wind that drive through the forest,
And the chiming of the bells, the time is now...

 

優しく翳る月 今宵 霧と共に
祈り捧ぐアリア
Yasashiku kageru tsuki Koyoi Kiri to tomo ni
Inori sasagu aria
Tonight, the gently-shaded moon, together with the mist,
Form an aria offered up in prayer.

白い肌に舞う 緋い薔薇に接吻を
運命の棘が胸を 貫き心引き裂いた
Shiroi hada ni mau Akai bara ni kuchizuke¹ wo
Unmei no toge ga mune wo Tsuranuki kokoro hikisaita
Crimson roses dance down to and kiss the white skin,
The thorns of fate penetrating the breast and into the heart...

The life breathing in the pitch-black darkness
The limbs sized by the transient sleep
And, these shadows are overlapping each other
Tonight, the peal of thunder invites you to the new encounter

 

交わり しなやかに 堕ちる闇と共に
夜明け告げるアリア
Majiwari Shinayaka ni Ochiru yami to tomo ni
Yoake tsugeru aria
An aria reveals the dawn
That comes sinuously-mixed with the falling dark.

 

白い肌に舞う 緋い薔薇に接吻を
運命の棘が胸を 貫き心を
Shiroi hada ni mau Akai bara ni kichizuke wo
Unmei no toge ga mune wo Tsuranuki kokoro wo
Crimson roses dance down to and kiss the white skin,
The thorns of fate, the breast, and the continuing heart...

 

白い肌に狂う 愛と哀しみの輪舞
運命の棘が胸の 閉ざした時を今…
Shiroi hada ni kuruu Ai to kanashimi no rondo
Unmei no toge ga mune no Tozashita toki wo ima...
Driven mad by your white skin, my rondo of love and grief
Is now the thorn of fate plunged into the heart's stopped time.

 

白い肌に狂う 愛と哀しみの輪舞

Driven mad by your white skin, my rondo of love and grief
Is thorn of fate penetrating the breast and into the heart...

As if the dream I dreamed that day continues, the scene floats up in the forest of reminiscence.
I'll go out and meet you in the garden of our pledge, where the flower buds bloom.

「愛しい人... ガーデニア」
"Itoshii hito... gardenia."
"My beloved... Gardenia."

Playful desire starving of blood

 

Get down limitless night

 

Beast of Blood

Along with the scream
from the death throes

 

sharp claws are shining brighter Dually
obscene breaths continues

 

And rips apart the silence
of the night Crossing the uplifty life

 

Get down
limitless night

No fear, no sadness
Lofty life is tasting loneliness and eternity

 

And near by the target
with no more life

Red drops on my greedy lips

 

Falls down on the freezing ground
Get down limitless night

 

Beast of Blood
Beast of Blood
Beast of Blood
