～The Lair of Madame Tarantula～

Japanese song lyric transliterations/English translations & ヴィジュアル系 [Vijuaru-Kei] (Visual Kei) magazine scans.

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.

As for magazine scans, the scan directories are underneath the discography sections for each artist, in alphabetical order by magazine, then chronological order after that. All editing has been done by me (alignment, cropping, color correction, watermark removal, etc.)

I will try to credit whomever did the scans when I post them (if I happen to know who did the scans, though a lot of these are from over the years and I may not know), so if you happen to not be credited, please e-mail me and let me know. Knowing this, I WILL be removing any watermarks on any scans, as I believe this is intrusive to the scan and actually not definitive of "ownership," so I apologize if this upsets anyone, but scans shouldn't be marred with text that wasn't part of it. If anyone has better quality scans of anything I post/any scans that I might not have, please e-mail and let me know, I will post them! I have a massive amount of scans still left to post, but limited free time right now to do so, so I will try to post as many as I can each day, time allotting. Thank you!

Serpents Kiss/Serpent's Kiss [THE MISSION/THE MISSION UK/THE SISTERS OF MERCY Cover] (2013)

VELVET EDEN
Music: Craig Adams/Mick Brown/Simon Hinkler/Wayne Hussey
Lyrics: Craig Adams/Mick Brown/Simon Hinkler/Wayne Hussey
———————————————————————————————————————————
Foreign tongues in familiar places
Surrender the thrills to the very core
Forever young and blessed with nameless graces
A love that kills and promises more

Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer
Gasping for color, this perfect heart

Screaming howl and the children cry
Serpents/Serpent’s kiss for the words you pray
Whiskey and the devil and the witching hour
A serpents/serpent’s kiss on that untouched flower

Searching for a haven, it's no favor, the fingers that shine
Heart beats quicker as the veils start to fall
I'll be craving, the pleasure's all mine
Candles flicker and the devils dance on the wall

Stroking the naked and the silence gets colder
Stuck on the ceiling and the kissing gets bolder
Biting my nails for fear of revenge

A serpents/serpent’s kiss and the children cry
A serpents/serpent’s kiss for the words you pray
A serpents/serpent’s kiss and the witching hour
A serpents/serpent’s kiss on that untouched flower

Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer
Some kind of visitor and the neon street

A serpents/serpent’s kiss and the children cry
A serpents/serpent’s kiss for the words you pray
A serpents/serpent’s kiss and the witching hour
A serpents/serpent’s kiss on that untouched flower
