1. THE TRIUMPH OF METAL

The voice of ancient stones echoes
In the burning flame of the present,
Thousands of stars are dancing in the crucible,
They are born and die in a second

I left my skin of sorrow
To the sea of salt,
Truth strikes below
And reigns from above

Now feel the fight
The heart thrives
The one true self
From the sky descends
Pierce yourself
With the light,
You are the grail,
The triumph of metal

Obey your ideal of Great Love
Choose the struggle over stagnant rest
Be the soldier, the soldier of your desires
Be the lover despising his own dead

Take the staff of wisdom,
Wear the heavy crown,
The loneliness is profound
But you'll light up many a dawn

Now feel the fight
The heart thrives
The one true self
From the sky descends
Pierce yourself
With the light,
You are the grail,
The triumph of metal

To the chalice of countless horrors,
You will not close your senses,
Man is a bridge to be crossed over,
Become the one giving roses


2. POLYMORPHIA

I beheld the world
Through a narrow slit
From a dusty floor
That overlooks the scene

I was the misshapen ghost,
Whom history shuns,
Confined to the shadows,
Hidden from the bright suns

But the white star in the prima materia took shape,
In the canvas of the cosmos, a divine drape for the lonely souls

Polymorphia
Borrows from the almighty nature
Its original enigma,
Its magical structure

Polymorphia
In the laboratory
Feel the magma
That brings forth the majesty

The gales swept over the rafters,
The ruins bestowed the sky,
Letting the sunrays enter
Making matter volatile

The darkness became a friend,
For it no longer bit nor gnawed,
The hurting wolf was tamed,
Glorious, beneath the moon's laud

Archetypes of ancient scenes,
Emerging from my empathy,
I understand in you the mysteries,
That write the pages of myth

But the white star in the prima materia took shape,
In the canvas of the cosmos, a divine drape for the lonely souls

Polymorphia
Borrows from the almighty nature
Its original enigma,
Its magical structure

Polymorphia
In the laboratory
Feel the magma
That brings forth the majesty


3. THE SCALES OF REBIS

The funeral carriage
Has stopped by the altar's side,
You drank your own fears,
And raised the cup with pride

The rays of the sun
Translucent and vibrant
Are filling your grail
Now a new gushing well

For the chaos of the moonmaker,
I praise the heavenly mother,
For the golden sphere of order
I praise the earthly father

‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance
Of the force of the King
Guided by the Queen's Hand
‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance of it all
Formless monsters
Invading, the spirits are
Turning into nothingness
By the scales of the Rebis

Support your gaze,
To the insouciant Chronos,
Who makes our dreams race
Faster than the clock

Borrow from innocence,
Its disarming peace,
It will conquer death,
With the pace of bliss

Between order and chaos
You have freed the pathos
That has chained you, restless,
To the frozen necropolis

‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance
Of the force of the Queen
Guided by the King's Hand
‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance of it all
Formless monsters
Invading, the spirits are
Turning into nothingness
By the scales of the Rebis

The scales of Rebis
Order the balance


4. MIDNIGHT

Midnight is ringing
My insight is blind
Tomorrow’s afraid
To unveil its light

Dragons are growling above the warm lamp,
I grab my blade, floating in my brain,
My breath is fleeting at the seeker’s shrine
The scythe of death threatening my spine

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, the fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight, in the pale moonlight

The flickering halo’s devoured by gargoyles
Scattered shadows prowl the cathedral

The constant smoke escapes from the chimney
The handwritten bird language pages are inked
I seek to lift the veil of mysteries
For my mind deeper than the old sea

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, the fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight !
Oh ! No escape to make my way, face it now, in the dead of night
No more cries, No more lies, no more doubts, to leave behind

Rite after rite the unknown will rise
Cradle of truth, the demise of time
Fathomless cosmos will be my guide
I seek the red stone for a new life
Until it’s right for slags to die

My steps were guided by a single oath
To choose the path leading to the unknown
I transcended my flesh and my own grave
It’s time to slay the nightmare

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, The fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight !
Oh no escape, find a way, fight it now, in the red star light
No more cries, No more lies, no more doubts, to pass the gate of midnight


5. THE CITY OF TEARS

Bluish droplets collide
They faint and intertwine
On the iron stained glass
Waving in the half-light

Delicate spinal columns
Witness to fleeting beauty
Skeletons tending to heaven
Bears the cathedral city

The storm's retreating roar
Clashes with the thunder's roll

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the city of tears

Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the city of tears

Roaming in my pale mantle
I am the ghost and the guest
Under the bridge and my feet
Pass my fondest memories

I dried my alabaster
Eyes to fix in history
The heroes of the hours
That shaped my destiny

Raindrops cascade down the hill,
A grey river shedding its fill

No more grist for the mill
No more salt for my grief
I face the icy fears
As they fade in the breeze

I lie down on the warm sheet
I close my heavy eyelids
And I dream without barriers
A crease appears on my cheeks


6. MIND'S ARBORETUM

Black pigments of the pen
Write on the old parchment
Vibrant dots on the stave,
From the spheres they descend

Belligerent mayhem
Clashes and aligns,
High vibrations blend,
Tremendous power climbs

With all wonders combined

Beneath the skeletal lid
The daring sapling branches
They connect and interlace
To new golden buds to raise

The cerebral spider's web
Weaves a constellation bright,
In a dusty cellar's ebb,
It purifies the stifling night

Breathe, think, exhale, rethink, drop

My perishable form,
Empty and so fleeting,
Is nourished by the warm
Light that keeps it beating

The harmony of the spheres
Bows down and conquers too
My blood is pulsing and I breath
In shades of crimson hue

Drifting above the moon

The great reality stream
Lacks its true foundation
And always strikes a deal
With the imagination

The white swan glides and sways
On the belly of the pond
The willow stretches its hair
In the rippling reflection

The note spreads out afar
And before it’s last sequence
It drowns within the blue space
In the sheer sound of silence


7. AS MY WILL TO POWER IS SEEN

The breeze lightens my hair
As I leave the dense smoke
I cast my dazzled gaze
On the dale of plant gold

Along the path I tread
The scent of cedar spread
And mingle in the air
On those I've come to stare

Piercing eyes and amber gleam,
Driven by a pure Energy
The trees are guardians to my inner peace
Their thick roots deepen within
As my will to power is seen

When Great Disgust prevails,
Gather from distant heights,
The stars of the mountains
That bears the icy wind

A child creates, reclines
In perfumed flowers wide
With a lyre, enchants,
Plays joy of the life's tide

May this isle provide
A haven for my mind
From many travels' close
I rest upon its shore

Let my instinct conceive
An airy Mercury
Who flies above the peaks
And dwells in caverns deep


8. A SONG OF BLOOD AND STEEL

The sun cuts through the snowy lace of the lake
The icy air bites her alabaster face
Her focused breath blows across the steaming plain
Metal plates surround the mantras on her waist

Her wooden talisman still burns on her chest
But Hachiman predicts a black butterfly
The red pine misted behind her swift footsteps
She will cut off the head of the strongest man

Nature is one with me
I am the glowing phoenix
Rider with honed Tachi,
Let the golden dawn bleed
As my soul will be set free

I gallop with the kamis
My bow pierces the ranks
The wind brings steel and dread
And my heart hangs by a thread
With metal I’ll triumph

She soars like a heron beneath the mountain
Her blade undulates with the flow of the water
The mirror of the sky darkens with red grief
The field of frost like the winter of her sword

この混沌とした世界では、戦火の中で咲く花のように、悩みのない心だけが花を咲かせることができる。
-
In this chaotic world, only a heart without worries can bloom like a flower blooming in the midst of war..

Dip your Naginata in the sacred river
You’re the onna-bugeisha who fights with honour
Prevent rust from tarnishing your pure dignity
Clean your mouth and your hands with quiet honesty

The salamander drinks the blood on the spilled reeds
Recite the prayers for the rest of the departed

Japanese part :

もし今ここを離れても、
この山の頂上まで
すぐに戻ってくる
待っていると言ってくれさえすれば。
-
If I leave here now.
To the top of this mountain
I'll be right back
As long as you tell me you'll be waiting for me…

The shore of Lake Biwa in flower
Under the willow of the spirit
The cries of a soul fade away
The cries of Tomoe Gozen
