Lower Realms

Come to be devoid of
Our freedom in nature
Blindness and power
Consume all of of our dignity
And only some will stand
To defend the rights of man
Watch as they fall—
All the values that we built our world on
A tale that won't forgive its every curse
Repeated in our insanity,
Shedding virtues with time
But I found a new world,
A world underneath us
They'll call to the surface
And lure us on all our desires
The truth won't save the tribe
Bury where it matters not
Wait anymore
And you'll be weakened to the point of madness,
But come to love this brighter state of mind,
A chance for us to be something else,
You'll become what we all need to be
We've brought upon ourselves
A world of complacency
With standards unrealized
And nothing to rectify
Well if this is what we are,
We'll trample till we retire
On all our civility
Like ashes beneath our feet
We can't understand we're limited
But where are our feelings
When we're under the earth
With new kinds of beings
Who wish to protect
Our individuality
And keep the peace?
We will be the strong
We will be forever
Consciously evolving
Down within these realms,
A place for reinvention
To trust what we've upheld,
Reveling in ardor

Sins for the Masses
04:41

I never lied to please you
I was opened just as much as I could be
But you distorted all my deepest beliefs,
You loved your own self-deceit, defamed me
I never changed my ethics
You would think that after what you put me through,
I would have been guided to peace,
Abandoned the necessary
Means to reveal all the world’s complexities
I’ve felt the weight of a thousand sins
For which only I atone
道無き道は希望を下さない
[The directionless path does not give me hope]
善の道を消す時が来た
[The time to erase the virtuous path has come]
世界には痛ましい真相が多い
[The world is filled with painful truths]
そんな事をお前は知りたくない
[Such things you wish not to know]

Solace

Stars give in,
Take this shape,
Find her spirit,
And let us unite
No time to waste here
When everything's yours
Follow my lead
And run its course
Dreaming while living
Not limiting us
More ways to find
Unflustered love
Each moment
Contoured with
The features
Of a dream
How did we
Forget this isn't real
From the first leap we took?
Our feelings are energized
And never overlooked
Why should we exist
Outside our sleep
If we don't know
Which life is real
Or which we dream?
Stay here. It's perfect--
The world I designed
Moments of grandeur,
Changing lives
Failing to restrain
As if we'll explode,
Our love will be consoled
How did we
Forget this isn't real
From the first leap we took?
Our feelings are energized
And never overlooked
We focus on ourselves
We saw fit to believe
The solace of our love
Would be kept underneath
All my dreams

Never-Ending Flame
05:22

The demons sang to me
Before your waking
A song that lingers on and on
Kept changing keys, but sang
For years to make me
A martyr of the arcane
What will I
Become if not
A catalyst
For this stagnant world?
You joined me in my prime,
Played to those demons
We put our strengths in harmony,
But when my faith grew deep,
Your lie grew pale with
The unknown end impending
Your serpentine
Facade became
The blackened soul
I wish I knew you for
Soon you’ll understand me
I’m the joke that fights on
Years pass, but I won’t fade
I’m that lingering song
A righteous king of me
Your trust let me be
Took to the solace of our fate
The poet’s words stand tall
Your curse provoked him
The realms have now awakened
You’re too scared
Of being feared,
And now you’ll judge
The way they all do
パタラの水に侵していた人は罰から脱出できない
[The people who invade the waters of Patala cannot escape punishment]
See me ever stronger,
Now more gods to consume
Chafing your unbound skin,
Sucking life from what’s left
Do you understand me?
I’m the truth that fights on
Years pass but I won’t wane
I’m that lingering flame
You can’t wish the best for us
When you left us at the peak
You can’t wish the best for us
When you still can’t take ownership of your faults

In a thousand other realities,
I am facing up to my nightmares,
Confronting the world’s darkest secrets
With profound purpose
But time never feels that important
I roll with the landslide of life
Here the dust never reaches my lungs,
Never marks my soul
I’ve wandered past all the misery
I’m blind and I can’t change that fact
When the doors open up for me,
I’ll be strayed from serenity
When I have no experience,
Then there’s nothing of meaning for me to acquire
But that false sense of meaning is a toxin
Taken in with promises of light
It doesn’t matter if I live in my chaos
It shall be part of the order
They always thought they could read me,
But when the stage falls in place
I’m a challenge to the pillars of heaven
My soul’s escaped
I want to ignore my destiny
There’s more to life than following a path
I’ll stay a realist
‘Cause I can’t find another way
And the light never speaks to me,
So I’ll strive, I’ll aspire in the dark
When the doors open up for me,
I’ll be strayed from serenity
When I have no experience,
Then there’s nothing of meaning for me to acquire
Now I’m shrouded in mystery
Even with my affinity
I fought through all the calls of void
In my mind, without any soul
When the doors open up for me,
I’ll be strayed from serenity
When I have no experience,
Then there’s nothing of meaning for me
In the sea of development,
I will swim to the deepest parts,
And I won’t sink until I feel
Like I’ve taken the beating of life,
Like I’ve taken the most out of life

Nectar of the Heavens

Son of sons
Now confess
All your sins
Unto us
Always 13 steps below the square,
I feel like a child stuck in a grown-up’s mind,
Given far too much for my own good,
A victim of compassion nurtured from the womb
Why?
I don’t know who I am
I fell in line with the herd,
But my mind keeps me in check
My ethics don’t support the unethical
I won’t let your number game define me
It’s a progressive and repressive theory
That underestimates the cynical
No
It can’t be done like this
My thoughts are all my own
And not for you to wash out
While they pray this is the end of it all,
I feel the need to stay here forever
Give me time to see the realms and
Know which one I will survive in
There’s potential in us we can’t
See no matter how hard we try
Dès le début d'enfance,
[From the beginning of your life,]
Il n’y avait pas un chance
[There was no chance]
À viens dans la lumière
[To come into the light]
Quel raison particulière
[What a special reason]
Tu as été amené sur cette terre,
[You were brought to this earth,]
Mais regarde,
[But look,]
Tu n'es pas condamné
[You are not condemned]
We try to reach up
For ambrosia
There are easy ways up,
But you’ll fall down harder
We try to reach up
For the nectar
There are easy ways up,
But you’ll fall down faster
Should I blame myself for how I’ve grown?
It’s too late to say I should have known
Now I spend my time obsessing on regrets
And apologies that will never be heard outside my head
Son of sons
Now confess
All your sins
Unto us
Challenge your
Primal state
Sever your
Inner core
Be the one
We believe
Take upon
Destiny
The path is now
Set for you
Something you
Can’t undo
Mind is now abstract and post-conventional
Finds far more lies in reality
And far more truths in fantasy
Happiness withers as the senses appear
You
Gave me a reason to feel
From nothing, consciousness born
Embraced the burden of pain
Time won’t wait for me to turn this
Prison into nectar, so I’ll
Sacrifice my life to claim my
Mind and body as my own
Son of sons
Now confess
All your sins
Unto us
Challenge your
Primal state
Sever your
Inner core
Be the one
We believe
Take upon
Destiny
The path is now
Set for you
Something you
Can’t undo
Settle your mind

Lonely Day

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that Ill never miss
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived

この道を走り 進み 進み 進み続けた
地図に書いてあるはずの町が見当たらない
振り返ると そこに見えていた景色が消えた
この世界 僕が最後で最後 最後だ エレクトロ・ワールド
地面が震えて砕けた 空の太陽が落ちる 僕の手にひらりと
本当のことに気づいてしまったの
この世界のしくみ キミに手紙残すよ
ああ あああ ああ あああ
ああ あああ oh yeh エレクトロ・ワールド
街ゆく猫だって空を飛んじゃう街で
キミの存在さえ リアリティーがないんだよ
ああ あああ ああ あああ
ああ あああ oh yeh エレクトロ・ワールド
見えるものの全てが 触れるものも全てが
リアリティーがないけど 僕はたしかにいるよ
この道を走り 進み 進み 進み続けた
地図に書いてあるはずの町が見当たらない
振り返ると そこに見えていた景色が消えた
この世界 僕が最後で最後 最後だ エレクトロ・ワールド
地面が震えて砕けた 空の太陽が落ちる 僕の手にひらりと 僕の手にひらりと
この世界のスイッチ 押したのは誰なの
あああ もうすぐ 消える エレクトロ・ワールド
