Lyrics
愛の黙示録 (Ai no Mokushiroku) – "Apocalypse of Love"
Verse 1
Japanese:
渇いた心 砂漠のよう
君の影 蜃気楼
触れる度 崩れゆく
約束は 幻
Romaji:
Kawaita kokoro sabaku no you
Kimi no kage shinkirou
Fureru tabi kuzureyuku
Yakusoku wa maboroshi
Translation:
My heart is parched like a desert,
Your shadow—a mirage.
Every touch crumbles away,
Our promises were illusions.
Pre-Chorus
Japanese:
愛は鎖 重い罪
この手錠 解けてよ…
Romaji:
Ai wa kusari omoi tsumi
Kono tejou hodokete yo…
Translation:
Love is chains, a heavy sin—
Break these handcuffs, please…
[Chorus] (Soaring, anthemic)
Japanese:
愛は戦争 壊れる世界
この手で 砕け散れ！
灰になるまで 燃やし尽くせ
神様なんて いない！
Romaji:
Ai wa sensou kowareru sekai
Kono te de kudakechire!
Hai ni naru made moyashitsukuse
Kamisama nante inai!
Translation:
Love is war—a crumbling world,
Let it shatter in my hands!
Burn it all ‘til we’re ashes,
There’s no god here anymore!
[Verse 2] *(Bluesy grit, 8-string chugs)*
Japanese:
傷つけたのは どっち？
嘘の銃弾 撃ち合って
血の雨 降り止まぬ
楽園は 廃墟
Romaji:
Kizutsuketa no wa docchi?
Uso no juudan uchi atte
Chi no ame furiyamanu
Rakuen wa haikyo
Translation:
Who hurt whom first?
We fire bullets of lies,
A rain of blood never ending—
Our paradise is ruins.
[Bridge] (Black metal shrieks + polyrhythmic djent)
Japanese:
滅びよ… 滅びよ…
この愛も 私も！
Romaji:
Horobi yo… horobi yo…
Kono ai mo watashi mo!
Translation:
Perish… perish…
This love and I along with it!
[Final Chorus] (Soulful harmonies + doom symphonics)
Japanese:
愛は戦争 終わらない夜
この声 届かなくて…
灰になるまで 抱きしめてよ
地獄でも 離さない！
Romaji:
Ai wa sensou owaranai yoru
Kono koe todokanakute…
Hai ni naru made dakishimete yo
Jigoku demo hanasanai!
Translation:
Love is war—an endless night,
My voice won’t reach you…
Hold me ‘til we’re ashes,
Even in hell, I won’t let go!
[Outro] (Koto + tape-saturated feedback decay)
Japanese (whispered):
「愛は… 黙示録」
Romaji:
"Ai wa… mokushiroku."
Translation:
"Love is… the apocalypse."
