Astral Dogma
妖精帝國 Lyrics

時は奏でる陰鬱な大時計蒸気の帳で　無我夢中
Lost in a fog of the grand clock's somber toll, amidst its steamy veil.

金塊を蓄えて聳える摩天楼で毎夜のマスカレード
Every night, there's a masquerade in the towering gold-filled skyscrapers.

錆びた真鍮に金箔を施した幻想の大都市は　崩れ堕ち
The grand illusion of the city, where brass laden with gold foil rusts and falls apart.

哀れ黄金期の代償と王女はこの世を嘆いた
The princess lamented the losses that came with the pitiable golden age.

虚栄で身体を飾り立てるロマネスク
The Romanesque, decorating themselves with vanity.

焼かれて初めて裸になるの
Only through being burned do you become truly naked.

星座(ほし)からの啓示を読み解ければ　更なる世界へと導かれる
If you can decode the revelations from the stars, then you'll be led into a new world.

原初明かす記されたるコトバ　「終焉(おわ)るセカイ」
The word that reveals the world's origin: 'an end to the world.'

末路示す秘められたるコトバ　「興(おこ)るセカイ」
The word that conceals the world's fate: 'a rising world.'

揺れる炎宇宙元素エーテル
The tremors of the fiery ether of the universe's elements.

虚空輪廻対のアカシャ
The Akasha that's juxtaposed against the circle of empty reiteration.

眠る生命(いのち)アストラルの幻影
Life that sleeps, its astral phantasmagoria.

リピカ綴る自己のイデア
Repeka spelling out one's own idea.

空中庭園の古びた羊皮紙は父の遺した　桂花の薫り
The time-worn parchment from the garden in the sky, redolent with the scent of osmanthus that one's father left behind.

滲むインクは今際に認(したた)めた最後のメッセージ
The ink that bleeds and stains is the final message one recognizes in their twilight.

賢き娘よ我が時代は終わる
Wise daughter, our era is coming to an end.

暗澹の未来を紡いでおくれ
Spin together the murky futures yet to come.

誰も皆　容易(たやす)く地位も名誉も　欲しがっては零落(おちぶ)れる成れの果てか
Everyone wants wealth and fame with ease, but in the end, they fall to ruin.

神の存在が我らを惑わす
The existence of God confuses us.

求めて縋り崇めば救う
Clamber towards and worship it if you want to be saved.

いつしか人は進化を止めた
All of us have at some point ceased evolving.

篝火に揺らめく装飾の馬車
A decorated horse-drawn carriage flickering in the campfire's light.

黄金の蒸気で街中を照らせ
The city alight with the steam of gold.
