気が狂う程    狂れる程
世は灰色へと染まりゆく
もう取り戻せはしないだろう
Ki ga kuruu hodo Fureru hodo
Yo ha haiiro he to somariyuku
Mou torimodose ha shinai darou
I'm going crazy, I'm going mad...
I'll dye the world to ash.
I can't take it back now, can I?

 

一つの時代が終焉を迎え    人々は無様に    この有様となり
「天の声が僕等を衝き動かしていた」と言い訳して…
Hitotsu no jidai ga shuuen wo mukae Hitobito ha buzama ni Kono arisama to nari
"Ten no koe ga bokura wo tsukiugokashiteita" to iiwake shite...
Facing the end of this one era, people become this unsightly way.
And excuse it, saying, "The voice of heaven is urging us"...

 

気が狂う程    狂れる程
世は灰色へと染まりゆく
世が狂う程    狂う程
人は破滅へと追い込まれ
Ki ga kuruu hodo Fureru hodo
Yo ha haiiro he to somariyuku
Yo ga kuruu hodo Kuruu hodo
Hito ha hametsu he to oikomare
I'm going crazy, I'm going mad...
I'll dye the world to ash.
The world is going crazy, going mad,
Herding people towards destruction.

 

純粋な生命は終焉を迎え    汚れた奴等が増殖されてゆく
連鎖反応のように    未来への希望は持てなくなる
Junsui na inochi¹ ha shuuen wo mukae Kegareta yatsura ga zoushoku sareteyuku
Rensahan'nou no you ni Mirai he no kibou ha motenaku naru
As the pure lives end, the corrupted ones will increase.
Like a chain reaction, hopes for the future slowly disappear.

 

生きることだけで    幻滅へのprologue
生きることだけで    幻滅へのepilogue
囚われたthe curse of life
Ikiru koto dake de Genmetsu he no prologue
Ikiru koto dake de Gensou he no epilogue
Torawareta the curse of life
It's only in living that there is a prologue to disillusionment.
It's only in living that there is an epilogue to disillusionment.
I'm caught in the curse of life.

 

「矛盾した世界に別れを告げようか」
犠牲なのか…    光の論なのか…
裁定が下される前に    廻り廻りゆく白羽の矢を
立てて    突き刺して    あいつ等諸共断未魔へ
生まれて来なければ    罪へ亡びはしなかった
"Mujun shita sekai ni wakare wo tsugeyou ka?"
Ikenie² na no ka... Hikari no wa³ na no ka...
Seitei ga kudasareru mae ni Mawari mawariyuku shiraha no ya wo
Tatete Tsukisashite Aitsura morotomo danmatsuma he
Umaretekonakereba Tsumi he horobi ha shinakatta
"Shall we bid farewell to this inconsistent world?"
Am I a sacrifice...? Is that the doctrine of light...?
Before a judgement can be passed, the spinning white-feathered arrow will
Thrust in and pierce them all together with the undecided devil.
If I hadn't been born, I wouldn't have perished in sin.

 

呪われた現在は    未来も過去も描き映す
Norowareta ima⁴ ha Mirai/sasu mo kako mo egakiutsusu
This cursed present paints out the future, and the past.

 

the curse of life

I feel sad

 

永遠に…
Towa ni...
Eternally...

Notes

記憶の扉    呼び醒ますように叩いて
夢見心地な潜在意識を掻き出して
Kioku no tobira Yobisamasu you ni tataite
Yumemigokochi na senzaiishiki wo kakidashite
So I can call and wake you, I beat on the door of memory,
Scraping out this dreamy subconscious.

 

狂い始めた凄惨な夜    貴方の意識は何処か遠くへ
歪む精神は抑え切れずに    欲望のままに暴き出せば
Kuruihajimeta seisan na yoru Anata no ishiki ha doko ka tooku he
Yugamu kokoro¹ ha osaekirezu ni Yokubou no mama ni abakidaseba
The lurid night begins to go mad and goes far away, to where your consciousness is.
A warped heart, lusting uncontrollably, is exposed.

 

Cross emotion now
for hailling future...

 

記憶の隙間    埋め合わせる旅へ導き
巡り行く程に深みへ溺れゆく『運命』
Kioku no sukima Umeawaseru tabi he michibiki
Meguriyuku hodo ni fukami he oboreyuku "unmei"
The gap in the memories point towards the journey for making amends.
I drown in the depths, and my "fate" comes round again.

 

狂ったようにへばりつく歌声    貴方の意識は何処か遠くへ
弾む衝動は抑え切れずに    欲望のままに曝け出せば
Kurutta you ni hebaritsuku koe² Anata no ishiki ha doko ka tooku he
Hazumu karada³ ha osaekirezu ni Yokubou no mama ni sarakedaseba
Your clinging voice seems to be going mad, and your consciousness goes somewhere
far away.
When the lust is exposed, the body is uncontrollably stimulated.

 

Cross emotion now
for hailling future...

 

狂気に染め上げた聖餐な宴
貴方の思考は『恋の盲目』
"渦巻く感情は    欲情と欲望のままに貪り尽くせ"
Kyouki ni someageta seizan na utage
Anata no ishiki⁴ ha "koi no mokume"
"Uzumaku karada⁵ ha Yokujou to yokubou no mama ni musaboritsukuse"
Holy Communion is dyed by madness.
Your senses are "blind love".
"Our whirling bodies covet and lust until we are exhausted."

 

Cross emotion now
for hailling future...

目醒 Translation

A translation of XOVER’s “Mezame” from their album “XGATE”. It was also included in their second album “Aureola”.

溢れる程の喜び分かち合い
壊れる程の怒りは乗り越えた
流した涙は渇れ果て
呆れる程に哀れみも懐いた。。。
今軌跡を音楽に乗せて
Afureru hodo no yorokobi wakachiai
Kowareru hodo no ikari ha norikoeta
Nagashita namida ha karehate
Akireru hodo ni awaremi mo idaita...
Ima kiseki wo oto¹ ni nosete
Sharing the overflowing joy,
We cross through the breaking anger.
The tears that flowed have dried.
I was so attached to even the pity that I was shocked.
Now, I'll ride the song of this path I take.

 

まだ観ぬ世界へ    頂へと昇り詰めよう
瞳を開いて観える景色は確かだから
刻の彼方へ
Mada minu sekai he Itadaki he to noboritsumeyou
Hitomi wo hiraite mieru mono² ha tashika da kara
Toki no kanata he
Let's go to a world we've yet to see and climb all the way to the summit.
Open your eyes, because the scenery we can see is certain,
All the way across the other side of time.

 

displayに映す精神の螺旋
乱れる程に言い訳は見出せず
流す涙で滲ませて    立つべき舞台へ彩りを添えた
今寄蹟を旋律に乗せて
Kuuhaku³ ni utsusu kokoro⁴ no rasen
Midareru hodo ni iiwake ha midasezu
Nagasu namida de nijimasete Tatsubeki basho⁵ he irodori wo soeta
Ima kiseki wo oto ni nosete
The spiral of my soul reflects in blank space.
Because I can't find a reason for the degree of its disorder,
Tears blur the place where I should stand, garnishing it with colour.
Now,  the miracle rides that melody.

 

この闇天超えて    頂へと昇り詰めよう
幻想から目醒めて    映る風景は全霊で受け止めながら    羽撃いて
Kono yozora⁶ koete Itadaki he to noboritsumeyou
Yume⁷ kara mezamete Utsuru kaze⁸ ha karada⁹ de uketomenagara Habataite
Let's pass through this night sky and climb all the way to the summit.
Waking from the dreams, absorbing the harmonising wind with our bodies, we fly away.

 

Everlastingを誓った        夢は彼方まで。。。
Towa¹⁰ wo chikatta Yume ha kanata made...
I pledge everlasting, beyond my dreams...

 

失う者    見失う者。。。手を差し伸べよう
失う者    立ち止まる者。。。全て置き去りに
愛する者    愛すべき者。。。導かれるまま
戦う者    挑むべき者。。。「さあ、 足を揃えろ」
Ushinau mono Miushinau mono... te wo sashinobeyou
Ushinau mono Tachidomaru mono... Subete okizari ni
Ai suru hito Aisubeki hito... Michibikareru mama
Tatakau mono Idomubeki mono... "Saa, ashi wo soroero"
The person I lost, the person I lost sight of... I'll hold out my hand to them.
The person I lost, the person that stands still... I'll abandon everything.
The person I love, the person I should love... I was led by them.
The person who fights, the person who I should challenge... "Now, ready yourself!"

 

まだ観ぬ舞台へ    頂へと昇り詰めよう
新天地を拓いて    魅せる光景は幻想じゃないから
刻の彼方へ
Mada minu butai he Itadaki he to noboritsumeyou
Sekai¹¹ wo hiraite Miseru¹² keshiki¹³ ha yume⁷ ja nai kara
Toki no kanata he
Let's go to a world we've yet to see and climb all the way to the summit.
Because the scenery you showed me is not a dream, open up the new world,
And go beyond time.

何の為に 誰の為に
君よ その命燃やそうか
Nan no tame Dare no tame ni
Kimi yo Sono inochi moyasou ka
For what, for whom
Will your life burn?

 

ある時私は 真っ白無垢な蕾
なんにでも成れると 生み落とされた
Aru toki watashi ha Masshiro muku na tsubomi
Nan ni demo nareru to Umiotosareta
At one time, I was a pure, white flower bud.
I was born to be able to become anything.

 

此処は無限の園 想像の虜
「What is Your name?」 「The World」
花は蛇に 針は砂に 創めましょう
Koko ha mugen no sono Souzou no toriko
"What is Your name?" "The World"
Hana ha hebi ni Hari ha suna ni hajimemashou
This place is an infinite garden, and I'm a captive of imagination.
"What is Your name?" "The World"
Let's start turning the flowers to serpents, and the thorns to sand.

 

 

何の為に 誰の為に
君よ 命投じるのか
星は屑にバラバラとなって 成って美しい
Nan no tame ni Dare no tame ni
Kimi yo Inochi toujiru no ka
Hoshi ha kuzu ni barabara to natte Natte utsukushii
For what, for whom
Do you cast away your life?
The stars become scattered scraps, and it's so beautiful.

 

降り注ぐ光と雨に 磨かれ穢されて
ねぇ君よ 何として生きてゆく?
万色の花 とても優しいこの世界で
Furisosogu hikari to ame ni mukarekegasarete
Nee kimi yo Nani toshite ikiteyuku?
Manshoku no hana Totemo yasashii kono sekai de
I'm ground down and dirtied by the rain and light that pours down.
Hey, what will you live as?
The flowers of thousands of colours are so gentle in this world.

 

特別なものは 中に見当たらない
限りなくゼロに近い 空虚な可能性
Tokubetsu na mono ha Naka ni miataranai
Kagirinaku zero ni chikai Kuukyo na potential¹
I can't find anything special inside me.
Drawing near to the endless naught and empty potential,

 

此処は無限の園 誘惑の虜
酸いも甘いも
人は灰に 毒は声に 変わってゆく
Koko ha mugen no sono Yuuwaku no toriko
Sui mo amai mo
Hito ha hai ni Doku ha koe ni kawatteyuku
This place is an endless garden, and I'm a captive of seduction,
The sour and the sweet.
People turn to ash, and poison to voice.

 

ある時私は生まれ ある時知った 蕾の終わり
金色の世界と それを隔つ境界線
Aru toki watashi ha umare Aru toki shitta Tsubomi no owari
Konjiki no sekai to Sore wo hedatsu kyoukaisen
At one time, I was born, and at that time I knew the end of the flowerbuds.
That was the distant boundary of the golden world.

 

 

何の為に 誰の為に
君よ この命使おう
捧ぐことで恐れを断つ 無垢な花は散れ
Nan no tame ni Dare no tame ni
Kimi yo Kono inochi tsukaou
Sasagu koto de osore wo tatsu Muku na hana ha chire
For what, for whom
Will you use your life for?
Cut off your fears in consecration, and the pure flowers will scatter.

 

何の為に 誰の為に
君よ 命投じるのか
星は屑にバラバラとなって 成って美しい
Nan no tame ni Dare no tame ni
Kimi yo Inochi toujiru no ka
Hoshi ha kuzu ni barabara to natte Natte utsukushii
For what, for whom
Do you cast away your life?
The stars become scattered scraps, and it's so beautiful.

 

降り注ぐ光と雨に 磨かれ穢されて
ねぇ君よ 何として生かされてゆく?
万色の花 とても激しいこの世界で
Furisosogu hikari to ame ni mukarekegasarete
Nee kimi yo Nani toshite ikasareteyuku?
Manshoku no hana Totemo yasashii kono sekai de
I'm ground down and dirtied by the rain and light that pours down.
Hey, what will you be reborn as?
The flowers of thousands of colours are so fierce in this world.

湧き上がる人々の声 僕らは生きようと 声を上げ 願いを込めた
天国の在る場所へ
すぐそばで終わりが笑う だからこそ望め あらがえる力を讃え
美しき人となれ
Wakiagaru hitobito no koe Bokura ha ikiyou to Koe wo Age Negai wo kometa
Tengoku no aru basho he
Sugu soba de owari ga warau Da kara koso nozome Aragaeru chikara wo tatae
Utsukushiki hito to nare
The voice of the people arises. Trying to live, we too raise our voices in prayer
To the place where heaven is.
The near end is laughing. So wish! Wish for the strength you laud,
To become a beautiful person!

 

On our way to AVALON, far away from home
All will be there AVALON, joy will be in our hands

 

横たわる落とし穴に 何度足を取られただろう
誰だって見えやしない 未来なんてない世界さ
Yokotawaru otoshiana ni Nando ashi wo torareta darou
Dare datte mie ya shinai Mirai nante nai sekai sa
I wonder how many times I tripped in the stretching pitfall...
In this futureless world, I cannot see anyone.

 

ああ ここが僕の ああ 産まれた場所
ああ ここがあなたの今さ 今じゃなきゃ会えない 僕らは
Aa Koko ga boku no Aa Umareta basho
Aa Koko ga anata no ima sa Ima ja nakya aenai Bokura ha
Ah, this is the place, ah, where I was born.
Ah, this place is your present. If it weren't now, we couldn't have met.

 

Paradise is AVALON, our place to be
No sorrow in AVALON, blemish bears our hope

 

大地の果て 海の果ても 空の果ても行き尽くした
体は地球に帰れど 僕らはなにも残せない
Daichi no hate Umi no hate mo Sora no hate mo ikitsukushita
Karada ha hoshi¹ ni kaeredo Bokura ha nani mo nokosenai
I'll exhaust myself going to the end of the earth, and of the sea, and of the sky.
The body may return to the earth, but we can leave nothing behind.

 

ああ ここが僕の ああ 産まれた場所
ああ ここがあなたの今さ 今じゃなきゃ会えない 僕らは
Aa Koko ga boku no Aa Umareta basho
Aa Koko ga anata no ima sa Ima ja nakya aenai Bokura ha
Ah, this is the place, ah, where I was born.
Ah, this place is your present. If it weren't now, we couldn't have met.

 

手よ届け 命の果てに 産声の元へ
今をいけ この血を糧に 僕よりも幸せな 世界を
Te yo todoke Inochi no hate ni Ubugoe no moto he
Ima wo ike Kono chi wo karite ni Boku yori mo shiawase na Sekai wo
At the end of life, I reach out to my first birth-cry.
Now, go! A world more blessed than mine thrives on this blood.

 

We fought for life
Didn't mean to kill anyone
Wanted better days to come
Roaring arms are down, anxiety is gone
Can we just cuddle?

 

湧き上がる人々の声 僕らは生きようと 声を上げ 願いを込めた
天国の在る場所へ
すぐそばで終わりが笑う だからこそ望め あらがえる力を讃え
美しき人となれ
Wakiagaru hitobito no koe Bokura ha ikiyou to Koe wo Age Negai wo kometa
Tengoku no aru basho he
Sugu soba de owari ga warau Da kara koso nozome Aragaeru chikara wo tatae
Utsukushiki hito to nare
The voice of the people arises. Trying to live, we too raise our voices in prayer
To the place where heaven is.
The near end is laughing. So wish! Wish for the strength you laud,
To become a beautiful person!

 

今 手を扉へ
Ima Te wo tobira he
Now, put your hand upon the door.
