Verse 1

格子戸を抜ければ　そこは異界
夕闇に溶ける　パノラマ塔の夢
口づけを交わすは　生身かゴムか
あなたの眼玉に映るは　誰の亡霊？

這いずり回る　屋根裏の散歩者
天井の穴から　蜜を滴らす
覗き見た幸福は　硝子の端片
切り刻まれた　愛の抜け殻

⸻

Chorus

ああ　人間椅子に身を沈めて
心臓の鼓動を　直に聞く
現は夢　夜の夢こそが真
乱れぬ歩調で　地獄へ落ちましょう

⸻

Verse 2

鏡地獄の果て　歪な輪郭
二十面相の仮面を剥げば
そこにいるのは　空っぽの僕か
それとも見知らぬ　お前の影か

虫眼鏡で覗く　芋虫の恋
言葉をなくして　悶え転がる
双生児の密約　赤い紐
解けば最後　真っ逆さま

⸻

Chorus

ああ　教えの旅人に誘われ
蜃気楼の街へ消えてゆく
正気は毒　狂気こそが救い
誰も知らない　秘密の隠れ家

⸻

Bridge

少年探偵団の遠い口笛
暗闇に光る　電柱の怪人
時計塔の針が逆に回れば
僕らは二度と「人」には戻れない

⸻

Last Chorus

ああ　人間の形を脱ぎ捨てて
どろどろの快楽に身を溶かす
現は夢　夜の夢こそが真
二人で一つの人形になりましょう

さあ　壊して　暴いて　召し上がれ

⸻

Outro

「現世は夢、夜の夢こそ真……」

D坂の灯りが　ふっと消えて
最後に残るのは　誰かの笑い声

……おや、あなたの後ろにいるのは、誰ですか？

The Night of the Twenty-Faced Phantom


Verse 1

Slip past the lattice door — and there lies another world.
A dream of the Panorama Tower dissolves into dusk.
The kiss we share — is it flesh, or only rubber?
In your eyeball, whose ghost is reflected?

A crawler wandering through the attic,
dripping honey from a hole in the ceiling.
The happiness I spied was only shards of glass,
the hollow shell of love, cut into pieces.

⸻

Chorus

Ah — sinking into the Human Chair,
listening directly to the beating of a heart.
This waking world is a dream —
the dreams of night alone are truth.

With an unbroken rhythm,
let us descend into hell.

⸻

Verse 2

At the end of the Mirror Hell, distorted outlines appear.
Strip away the mask of the Fiend with Twenty Faces —
is the one beneath an empty version of me,
or perhaps the shadow of someone I’ve never known?

Through a magnifying glass I watch
the love of a crawling caterpillar.
Speechless, it writhes and rolls.
A pact between twins — tied with a red thread.
Untie it, and everything falls headlong.

⸻

Chorus

Ah — invited by a wandering teacher,
we vanish into a mirage of a city.
Sanity is poison;
madness alone is salvation.

A secret hideout
no one else knows.

⸻

Bridge

A distant whistle from the Boy Detectives.
A strange figure glimmering beside a telephone pole in the dark.
If the clock tower’s hands begin to turn backward,
we will never return to being “human” again.

⸻

Last Chorus

Ah — casting off the shape of a human,
melting ourselves into sticky pleasure.
This waking world is a dream —
the dreams of night alone are truth.

Let us become a single doll together.

Now — break it, expose it,
devour it.

⸻

Outro

“Reality is but a dream —
the dreams of night alone are truth…”

The lights of Dezaka suddenly fade.
All that remains
is someone’s laughter.

…Oh?
Who is standing behind you?
