-BY ALPHABETICAL ORDER-

Sphere

Sphere by NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST

淡い記憶の中に月を忘れないまま 風は吹くことを止め  蒼き命が問いた
Awai kioku no naka ni tsuki wo wasurenai mama kaze wa fuku koto wo tome aoki inochi ga toita
 Without forgetting the moon from within faint memories, the wind stops, and green life* questions:

壊し続けた過去に 終わりの結末へと 再生望む未来 お前の選択は?”
“Kowashitsudzuketa kako ni owari no ketsumatsu e to saisei nozomu mirai omae no sentaku wa?”
“[Forward] to the end of the past that continued to destroy [the Earth], or to the future [with a desire] for rebirth—what is your choice?”

廻る廻るこの世界の 降り出した罪は 灰に
Mawaru mawaru kono sekai no furidashita tsumi wa hai ni
Turning, turning, this world’s raining sins [turn] to ash…

Dying...dying... It's suffering this planet will be decayed one by one.

大地は枯れて花は散り逝き 汚れた手で叫んで悲鳴をあげた
Daichi wa karete hana wa chiriyuki yogoreta te de sakende himei wo ageta
The earth withered and flowers scattered, with stained hands, it cried out, letting out a scream.

見えない傷よ どうか許して 命は削れ行く
Mienai kizu yo dou ka yurushite inochi wa kezure yuku
Oh the scars we can’t see, somehow forgive us, for [your] life that is being whittled away.

此処はまだ生きている共に逝こう
Koko wa mada ikiteiru “tomo ni yukou”
Here, we are still living  “Let’s die together”

さぁ手を繋ごう 行き先は『透明』
Saa te wo tsunagou yukisaki wa [toumei]
Come now, grab my hand, our destination is [clarity].

掌から溢れた富、欲望が魅せる幻の先は
Tenohira kara afureta tomi, yokubou ga bakaseru maboroshi no saki wa
The end of the illusion that confuses desires and of the wealth that overflows from your palms.

Demise, demise...Destined indication will disappear into blaze is burning the vice, blaze is burning the virtue.

This planet will be decayed one by one.

Justice by the judgment will no longer stop this sacrifice.

Justice by the judgment will no longer expose evil lie.


大地は枯れて花は散り逝き 汚れた手で叫んで悲鳴をあげた
Daichi wa karete hana wa chiriyuki yogoreta te de sakende himei wo ageta
The earth withered and flowers scattered, with stained hands, it cried out, letting out a scream.

見えない傷よ どうか許して 命は削れ行く
Mienai kizu yo dou ka yurushite inochi wa kezure yuku

此処はまだ生きている共に逝こう
Koko wa mada ikiteiru “tomo ni yukou”
Here, we are still living  “Let’s die together”

Just standing over there will never change infliction. Asking yourself if it's right or what to do.

A little hand is going to be a hope to save us.

Save us all. Nobody hopes this sky. Nobody helps. It's too late. Nobody knows this scar is yours.

The sphere is...

Blaze is burning the vice... blaze is burning the virtue...

You're fucking lying to me You're lying to me


響け魂の声、痛みの重さを知れ
Hibike tamashi no koe, itami no omosa wo shire
With its soul’s voice, I know the weight of the pain.

*Aoki inochi can mean both “green life” and “young life”. Since this song is about the destruction of the earth, I decided to use “green life”, interpreting it as plant life, or even “Mother Nature”. 

THE SWAN by 12012

There's nothing left

Can you see what I'm feeling?
I just hide in my hand

悲しみが痛いよ
Kanashimi ga itai yo
The sorrow is so painful.
I wanna find the answers
Find the answers
Find the answers before I'm nothing

生きてる証が欲しい 此処にいるよ
Ikiteru akashi ga hoshii koko ni iru yo
I want proof that I’m living, I’m right here.

You see I'm finding a way
You see I'm finding a way
No reason to be alive now and nobody hears me
Don't leave me alone


逃げ惑うだけの日々誰かの温もりを借り慰め
Nigemadou dake no hibi dareka no nukumori wo karinagusame
In the days I merely run around trying to escape, I borrow someone’s warmth, and am consoled by it.
疑似愛さえ分からなくなってゆく
Kiji ai sae wakaranaku natte yuku
I’ve even starting to [confuse] the fake affection.
It's the ugly duckling, the ugly duckling, the ugly duckling swimming in the lake
打ちのめされ怯え続け痛みさえも愛も明日も見えない
Uchinomesare obietsudzuke itami sae mo ai mo asu mo mienai
Knocked down and continuing to be afraid, I can’t see tomorrow, the affection, or even the pain.

「夜が明けて朝が来るの」
[Yoru ga akete asa ga kuru no]         
“Night will grow light and tomorrow will come.”
キミはいつもそう言っていた
Kimi wa itsumo sou itteteita
It’s what you always seemed to say,
朝がくればキミの心も落ち着くから
Asa ga kureba kimi no kokoro ochitsuku kara
Because if the morning comes, your heart can [finally] steady.
The darkness arrives and I see the light
It's just like the rain that beats my window
The lake is so calm, and I'm all alone
And someday
I'll be a beautiful swan

So until the day I fly
It will so many days to cry
But I will be forgetting how I die
We celebrate we're all alive

Will you
You'll know we want that one
You don't know
You don't know what I want
You just follow the others do
You don't know

悲しくて苦しくて悔しくて崩れた日々も
Kanashikute kurushikute kuyashikute kuzureta hibi mo
The sorrowful, painful, regrettable days that have crumbled
キミを作る一つの要素でキミがいる
Kimi wo tsukuru hitotsu no youso de kimi ga iru
Are the one element I need to create you—you are here.
How loud I shout
How loud I cry
How sad I am
You will not get me
But I see the sky and someday
I might be something, So will you look at me for once?
For once
For once
Just once
The swan
