～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.

崩壊序曲 [Hōkaijokyoku] (2001)

MALICE MIZER
Title Translation: "Prelude to Collapse" (Japanese)
Music: Mana
Lyrics: Klaha

Lyrics
———————————————————————————————————————————
delusion and dream
a moment when reality fades
two voices crossing
memory of red blood
cells tremble
they tremble in pleasure
fate / shrieks / urge / resonance / the end

constraining voice
a temptation toward ruin
all for destruction
all for bloodshed
birth / rule / lust / sequent

a runaway playback of memories
a body that has lost its senses
program crash
out of control
and it repeats all over again
mind / life / scenario / lasting / the end

collapsing thoughts
diminishing vision
resounding heartbeat
approaching silence
and it repeats all over again
birth / rule / lust / sequent
last of the end

man-made memories
ordained destiny

(All for destruction
All for bloodshed)

(The end!)

Delusion and dream
A moment when reality fades
Two voices crossing
Memory of red blood
Cells tremble
They tremble in pleasure
Fate/Shrieks/Urge/Resonance
Fate/Shrieks/Urge/Resonance/The end!

Constraining voice
A temptation toward ruin
All for destruction
All for bloodshed
Birth/Rule/Lust/Sequent

A runaway playback of memories
A body that has lost its senses
Program crash
Out of control
And it repeats all over again
Mind/Life/Scenario/Lasting
Mind/Life/Scenario/Lasting/The end!

Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!

(All for destruction
All for bloodshed)

(And it repeats all over again)

(The end!
The end…
The end…)

Delusion and dream
A moment when reality fades
Two voices crossing
Memory of red blood
Cells tremble
They tremble in pleasure
Fate/Shrieks/Urge/Resonance
Fate/Shrieks/Urge/Resonance/The end!

Collapsing thoughts
Diminishing vision
Resounding heartbeat
Approaching silence
And it repeats all over again
Birth/Rule/Lust/Sequent
Last of the end
Last of the end

Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!

Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!
Man-made memories!
Ordained destiny!

    Pretty sure the section...
    "(All for bloodshed
    All for bloodshed)"
    is actually sung as...
    "(All for destruction
    All for bloodshed)"
    ...Which is also sung in the beginning of the song just before
    Klaha shouts "(The end!)"
