檻の中の遊戯
Sound Horizon Lyrics

薔薇を想わせる緋色の口紅(ローズレッドルージュ)　唇には嘘吐きな約束を
Wearing rose-red lipstick that invokes roses, she makes empty promises with her lips.

昇り詰めて崩れ堕ちた　その夜に花束を…
She fell from grace after climbing great heights. On that night, she received a bouquet of flowers.

檻の中の遊戯…
A game played within a cage...

寂れた洋館　追い詰めた壁際　美しき獲物
In a decrepit mansion, at the cornered wall, there is a beautiful prey.

軋む床　浮き上がる身体　月明かり差し込む窓辺…
The creaking floor, the floating body, by the moonlight-flooded window...

細い頸に絡みついた　浅黒い指先が 食い込んでも離さないで　最期まで抱いていた…
Her thin neck was entwined by his suntanned fingers, which held onto her until the end, even when digging into her flesh...

仄蒼い庭　錆付いたスコップ　花を敷き詰めた棺
In the dimly lit garden, there is a rusty shovel and a flower-strewn coffin.

突然の閃光　歪んだ銃声　眩い環状の終端…
A sudden flash, distorted gunshots, at the dazzling terminal of a ring...

あの悲鳴は(うたごえが)葡萄酒(ワイン)のように 罪は月夜より甘く 堕ちてゆく詩は狂気(ルナ)を孕んで 闇を照らし躍らせる…
That scream is like wine, sin is sweeter than moonlight, the falling poem holds madness, lighting up and dancing in the darkness...

煌く瞬間(とき)の宝石(いし)を　集めては打ち砕く 忘れるまで思い出して　失うまで逃がさない…
Gathering and crushing the jewels of that sparkling moment, remembering them until they are forgotten, and never letting them go until they are lost...

歪な螺旋　幾度目かの覚醒　あの笑い声が響く
A distorted spiral, the umpteenth awakening, and that laughter echoes...

早くしなければ　また夜が明けてしまう もう一度この手で彼女を…
If he doesn't hurry, morning will come again. He wishes to hold her once more in his hands...

追憶は甘い果実　水面に揺れる淡い月のように 檻の外へ手を伸ばしても　滑り堕ちる針は止められない 蛹はいづれ蝶になると知り　逃げないよう羽を毟る せめて愛し合った証が欲しい　永遠に消えない傷痕を…
Reminiscence is a sweet fruit, like the faint moon reflected on the water's surface. Even if one reaches out a hand towards the outside of the cage, the slippery needle can't be stopped. Knowing that the cocoon will eventually turn into a butterfly, she plucks her own wings so that she won't run away. All that she hoped for was evidence of their love that would leave behind an eternal, unvanishing scar...

法が統べる檻の中で 終われない悪夢(ゆめ)を視ている 愛しい女性(ひと)を永遠(とわ)に渡り 殺め続ける物語…
Within the cage dictated by law, he sees an unending nightmare. It's a story where he will continue to kill the woman he loves forever...

（その檻の中にいるのは誰…？）
(Who is inside that cage...?)
