~The Lair of Madame Tarantula~

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

All transliterations and translations have been done personally by me.
(*PLEASE ASK TO USE ANYTHING I POST ON MY BLOG, I'VE WORKED VERY HARD ON THESE AND DON'T MIND SHARING, IF CREDIT IS GIVEN. THANK YOU!*)

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 and posted to this site.

Please credit me if you use any of my translations! Thank you!

Lyrics

Invite to forbidden libretto

Thou roam in a black desperate darkness

Putrefied corpse Feast of rapture

Prophet of rebirth

Lord God, answer my prayer

Find thy way to the end of desire

Give myself thy blood and flesh I will recall

Thou, go to sublime pitch-dark territory Now time has come

我は黒きを知り 天上なる異端の女神よ
何故、打ち棄てられた 知覚及ばぬ虚構に

死せる恋人は 囚われたPandora
儚い 運命のScenario

盲目なる者に 希望は届かない
蜘蛛の糸に 導かれて

Lead thy thought to the other side of time Shut in
Awaken the beginning of shadows’ existence

On grace, madness, and blood-smeared stage
Thou must not see horrifying shape

Lord God, answer my prayer

我は求める二人だけの悠久のうつし世を
何故、果てなき愛の存在は迷宮へ

死せる恋人は 囚われたPandora
儚い 運命のScenario

盲目なる者に 希望は届かない
蜘蛛の糸に 導かれて

儚い 運命のScenario

盲目なる者に 願望は届かない
禁じられた 時間の中を…

死せる恋人は 囚われたPandora
踊り続け…

Lord God, answer my prayer1

Find thy way to the end of desire

(Give myself thy blood and flesh…I will recall)

Thou, go to sublime pitch-dark territory…now time has come

Awaken the beginning of shadows’ existence)

On grace, madness, and blood-smeared stage

Lord God, answer my prayer
Lord God, answer my prayer3

My English Translation

(Invite to forbidden book)

Thou roam in a black desperate darkness

(Putrefied corpse…feast of rapture)

Prophet of rebirth

“Lord God, answer my prayer”
“Lord God, answer my prayer”1

Find thy way to the end of desire

(Give myself thy blood and flesh…I will recall)

Thou, go to sublime pitch-dark territory…now time has come

I know the blackness and…the Goddess of Heresy that has reached the heavens!
Why, they are merely fabrications without amounting to the perceptions that I had abandoned…

A lover that is able to die…is held by Pandora, who had been taken prisoner by her own box…
A fleeting/transient/ephemeral scenario of fate/destiny

The light/vision2 in a person that has become blind…cannot reach anyone
They are lead…by a spider’s thread/silk and…

(Lead thy thought to the other side of time…shut in
Awaken the beginning of shadows’ existence)

On grace, madness, and blood-smeared stage
(Thou must not see horrifying shape)

“Lord God, answer my prayer”
“Lord God, answer my prayer”3

I head for the eternal, transient world that only the two of us wish for/seek…
Why, the existence of our love that will not die goes to a labyrinth/maze…

A lover that is able to die…is held by Pandora, who had been taken prisoner by her own box…
A fleeting/transient/ephemeral scenario of fate/destiny

The light/vision4 in a person that has become blind…cannot reach anyone
They are lead…by a spider’s thread/silk and…

A fleeting/transient/ephemeral…scenario of fate/destiny

The light/vision5 in a person that has become blind…cannot reach anyone
They exist inside of a time…that was forbidden…

A lover that is able to die…continues to dance
With Pandora, who had been taken prisoner by her own box…
