～The Lair of Madame Tarantula～

Japanese song lyric transliterations/English translations & Visual Kei magazine scans (edited by me).

All transliterations and translations have been done personally by me.

Each song lyric has its own page (instead of the usual "post" format) containing the transliterations and my English translations on the page in a format that makes it easier for me to post and also allows anyone to copy and paste them for their own use. To find a song, simply click the artist's photo in one of the side columns or the artist's name listed in the rows at the top of this site, which will take you to a complete discography listing (if I've had the time to create it, some are not finished yet) and links for any song I've translated and posted on this site. Scan directory links are also listed underneath discographies for each artist by magazine and then release date chronologically once they've been edited by me (removing watermarks, color correction, straightening, cropping, etc.) and posted to this site.

Lyrics

藍く滲む空　閉ざされた幻影を
死にゆく者には　悲哀の決別を

深い霧の闇　閉ざされた幻覚を
変わり果てゆく　美麗な残骸を
your lie　perish　and die
cause of evil in you

滅びされよ

あぁ翳りゆく　月は　涙の破片を
揺らめく　闇に　沈んで

あぁ仮初めの　恋は　月に支配され
揺らめく　影に　踊らされ

淡く歪む空　崩れゆく現実を
裏切る者には　微笑の決別を

your lie　perish　and die

あぁ仮初めの　恋は　月に支配され
揺らめく　影に　踊らされ

翳りゆく　月は　涙の破片を
揺らめく　闇に　沈んで

あぁ仮初めの　恋は　月に導かれ
色めく　影に　引き裂かれ

翳りゆく　月は　貴方の姿を
煌めく　闇に　映して

あぁ仮初めの　恋は　月に支配され
揺らめく　影に　踊らされ

My English Translation
———————————————————————————————————————————
(Perish!/Be destroyed!)1

An illusion that was plunged in grief…floats in a sky that spreads/is blurred/reveals itself in indigo…
I give a sad/sorrowful farewell…to this dying person…

A hallucination/An illusion that was plunged in grief…floats in the darkness of a thick/dense fog…
It exists in the beautiful wreckage…that is completely changing…

Your lie…perish…and die

‘Cause of evil in you

Perish!/Be destroyed!
Ah, the moon…that is darkening/getting obscured…descends/sinks
In the darkness…that wavers…in the traces of my tears and
Ah, our transient/fleeting…love…is dominated/controlled by the moon and
We are made to dance…in the shadows…that waver and…

My reality that is collapsing…among a sky that is faintly warped/distorted
I give a smiling farewell…to you, the person who betrayed me…

Your lie…perish…and die

Ah, our transient/fleeting…love…is dominated/controlled by the moon and
We are made to dance…in the shadows…that waver and
The moon…that is darkening/getting obscured…descends/sinks
In the darkness…that wavers…in the traces of my tears and…

Ah, our transient/fleeting…love…shows the way to the moon
Which separates us…in the shadows…that grow lively/waver and
The moon…that is darkening/getting obscured…projects
Your form…in the darkness…that wavers2 and
Ah, our transient/fleeting…love…is dominated/controlled by the moon and
We are made to dance…in the shadows…that waver and…
