Original lyrics
黄泉より聴こゆ、皇国の燈と焔の少女。 -殯-
「彷徨える屍の中 苦しみと悲しみと怒りを抱いて
痛みと共に生ける同胞に告ぐ―――。」
「私は再び 此の幕を開けよう―――。」
【人は天空へ】 愛は彼方 不確かに
あの暁が燃えて 雫は泡と散る
「蒔かれた種が芽吹き 我らの意思は流転する」
【人は虚空へ】 哀と濡れて 凍える花のように
あの言葉さえも 貴女の叫びと
【“大地に爪を立てた怪物 緑眼が照らす死界は醜く
這いずり回るのは己が欲望か 力への渇望か”】
愛すべきモノを裂かれたならば もう此処に何も残らないから
定められた歪んだ思想(おもい)は 抗わぬモノを喰らい肥えてゆく
桜が散るのは また花を咲かす為
茜色に手を染めた 心に灯った焔
皇国の燈を享け さあ立ち上がれ 愛す者達を 守る翼よ
緋く染まった誓いの灯を さあ我が身が朽ち果てるまで
貴方の想いを―――。
「死神が手招きしている 大いなる世界の前で
矮小な我々は容易く飲まれてしまう。」
「わかりあえぬ者共の 悲しき繰り返し―――。」
救イノ無イ世界 過去ヨ 咎ヨ
次ノ無イ世界ハ 破滅ヲ望ンデイルノ?
「水が低きに流れるように 人もまた低きに流れていく。」
「慟哭が形を成して此処へ辿り着く―――。」
【災厄が…悪意が…絶望が……!】
遥か彼方 生まれた まだ見ぬ同胞の謳
私の希望(のぞみ)は其処に
いずれ逢うだろう君へ……
【“大地に爪を立てた怪物 緑眼が照らす死界は醜く
這いずり回るのは己が欲望か 力への渇望か”】
愛すべきモノを絶たれたならば もう其処に精は残らないから
宿命(さだめ)られた爛れた呪いは 贖わぬモノを 喰らい殺した
桜が散るのは また花を咲かす為
茜色に手を染めた 心に灯った
皇国の燈を享け さあ立ち上がれ 愛す者達を 守る翼よ
緋く染まった誓いの灯を さあ我が身が朽ち果てるまで
相剋黄泉を見ず 死に物狂いで 愛す者達を 守り抜くため
赫く染まった誓いの明を さあ此の手で掴み取るため
私の想いを―――。
[Sung simultaneously start]
嘲るように世界が哂っても
消えることのない意図を紡いだ物語を
其の願いが謳われた
遥か彼方の散華を見届けて―――。
[Narrator in background]
「嗚呼 嘲るように世界が哂っても
消えることのない意図を紡いでこの物語は続いていく
そう これから再び此の世界が語られていく
散華の果てに 貴方達が見るものとは―――。」
[Sung simultaneously end]「さあ往こう 未知の語らいへ
神産みの後(のち)、宣いと贖罪に至るまでの空想を―――。
黄泉に纏わる、愛憎に誘われて。」

Translation
Hear from hades, the maiden of flame with the empire's light -MOGARI-
「Amidst the wandering corpses harbouring anguish, grief and rage,
I proclaim to my fellow brethren living in pain―――。」
「I shall once more, raise those curtains―――。」1
【Mankind heads toward the firmament】2whether love lies yonder remains uncertain
As the distant dawn ignites the sky, drops of water scatter as bubbles
「By the sown seeds opening their buds our purpose will continually change」
【Mankind heads toward the vacant sky】2Like a flower drenched in, and subsequently freezing with grief
Even those words are thy cry
【“A monster hath plunged its claws into the earth, the abyss illuminated by its blue eyes is grotesque
Is it one's own desires, or a thirst for power that makes one crawl about?”】3
If the things ought to be loved were to be torn apart, nothing would remain here thereafter
The crooked will, long since ordained, shall be feasting upon those of no resistance
Cherry blossoms scatter so as to make flowers bloom anew
With thy hands dyed crimson a flame wast lit in thy heart
Come now, take the light of the empire and rise! Be the shield protecting thy loved ones!
And with the light spread by thy scarlet oath relent not till thee crumble away to dust
With thy feelings―――。4
「Death beckons as we, of such diminutive role,
will easily be swallowed infront of this grand world」
「A grievous repetition by ye5 who fail to comprehend one another ―――。」
A world beyond saving by the sins of its past
Is this world without a tomorrow wishing for it's demise?
「Just like water runs down into the depths, mankind will be washed away into the abyss。」
「The lament will assume form and find its way here―――。」
【Calamity…Malice…Despair……!】2
Born in the distance but yet to be seen,
the extolment of my brethren
My hope lies therein, so that I may see thee someday
【“A monster hath plunged its claws into the earth, the abyss illuminated by its blue eyes is grotesque
Is it one's own desires, or a thirst for power that makes one crawl about?”】2
If the things ought to be loved were to be eradicated, all we call spirit would be gone thereafter
The festered curse laid upon by fate hath ripped those lacking atonement to shreds
Cherry blossoms scatter so as to make flowers bloom anew
With thy hands dyed crimson, a flame wast lit in thy heart
Come now, take the light of the empire and rise! Be the shield protecting thy loved ones!
And with the light spread by thy scarlet oath, relent not till thee crumble away to dust
With heaven out of sight6, thou struggle with death to protect thy loved ones till the end
Shine the glistening light of thy scarlet oath so that thou may clasp onto this hand of mine7
With my feelings―――。
[Sung simultaneously start]
Though the world laughs, as if ridiculing us,
this story spun with ever persistent intent,
hath those wishes extolled
See the death in valour from afar and recognize it―――。
[Narrator in background] 8
「Ah- though the world laughs, as if ridiculing us,
we will continue spinning the thread, with everpersistent will, so that this story may continue
Thus this world will be spoken of once more
on the verge of a glorious death, it is what is to be seen by you5―――。」
[Sung simultaneously end]「Come now! Let's head toward this story yet to be know
A descendant9 of deific heritage, his fancies leading up to proclamation and atonement―――。
What's called for by love and hate, wriggles about in hades。」
- 1. "Raising the curtains" is a frequently used phrase said at the beginning of their songs, it seems to allude to the overarching world these songs play in. I think they call it "Decadenscene".
- 2. a. b. c. d. Taihaisekai
- 3. 1. Taihaisekai
- 4. Translated as "Feelings" here because of 想 instead of 思 for おもい. As far as I know 想 is a kanji used in more poetic and sentimental settings, often referring to feelings instead of thoughts
- 5. a. b. Plural
- 6. Though heaven is not directly mentioned here, it is the way I made sense of "rivalry/opposing" + "underworld/hades/hell". I think it fits better here. I'm open to suggestions
- 7. notice that this is sung the same way it was the first time, but 赫く・sparkling is substituted for 緋く・scarlet, and 明・bright for 灯・light. So I tried to reflect that in my translation to some degree
- 8. This part is taken from the old version of this song
- 9. Although it is an archaic meaning of のち it fits best into the context. And it works since they specified のち as the reading of 後
