3. D provided vocals to the song World with me on the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II video game soundtrack. Due to inconsistencies in the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution soundtracks booklets (D being only credited in the latter one), D is believed to be the same person as LOREN, who performed the opening and ending songs to the first Phantasy Star Online game, but there is no reliable source to confirm or deny such information.

...Blood

世界の夜明けを汝らは夢見るのだろう？
永遠の荒野を彷徨い疲れ...

身を焼かれよ裁く太陽それはきっと解放の叫び! Cry out!

掟に背いて汝らは愛に目覚めた

美しい最後の夜空を見上げ

踊ろう闇を感じて "Love is never Die" 歓喜の宴

背徳の「シルエット」
退廃的「理論」
渇いた「喉」
枯れ果てた「バラ」

汝を愛するが故にそっと口づけて別れを
呪われたこの欲望で汚したりはしない
ああ叶わぬ願いだと知っても今は
祈ろう目覚めた愛を忘れられなくて...

背徳の「シルエット」
退廃的「理論」
渇いた「喉」
枯れ果てた「バラ」

汝を愛する証しにここで太陽に焼かれよう
永遠に続く苦痛を与えたりはしないから
汝を愛するが故にそっと口づけて別れを
呪われたこの欲望で汚したりはしない
灰になろう思い出に包まれたまま
死を超えたこの愛はやがて世界を変えるだろう...

Vampire Missa... 「"Last" Vampire Missa」

Overall Meaning

These lyrics seem to depict a longing and forbidden love story within a dark and mysterious world. The opening lines ask if the listeners dream of the dawn of the world, suggesting a desire for a new beginning or escape from the eternal wilderness they wander in. The following line talks about being burned by the judgment of the sun, which can be interpreted as the harsh reality or societal norms that constrain them, but also as a cry for liberation. The phrase "Cry out!" emphasizes the need to express these feelings openly and loudly.

The next section talks about breaking the rules and awakening to love. They gaze up at the beautiful last night sky, which could be seen as a metaphor for embracing their forbidden desires. They then dance, feeling the darkness and proclaiming that love never dies, creating a joyful celebration. The repeated phrases of "背徳の「シルエット」" (the silhouette of immorality), "退廃的「理論」" (decadent theory), "渇いた「喉」" (parched throat), and "枯れ果てた「バラ」" (withered rose) suggest a sense of decadence, longing, and perhaps the consequences and sacrifices of their love.

Despite knowing that their wish cannot be fulfilled, they will pray and never forget the awakened love within them. The final lines speak about becoming ashes, embracing the memories, and how this love that transcends death will eventually change the world.

Overall, "Vampire Missa" portrays a passionate and forbidden love story set in a world of darkness and longing. It explores themes of desire, breaking societal rules, and the transformative power of love.
