Shadow's dream of truth and false.


You were selected to be on this stage by a stroke of fate.

なぜ選んだ　私をこの世界に
This stage is just like illusions you made.
なぜ殺した　閉ざされたこの世界で


Lonely night, I hold a ceremony of darkness.
Changing mind is an omen of tragedy.
You are all mine.

影絵の戯れ　真夜中の倒錯
真紅に染まった　貴方を抱きしめ　この手で…

Cut off the whole things.
流れる血に
Set your reason free.
口づけして
Follow instincts.

Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
舞台のつづきを見せて
蒼ざめた肢体を　愛しつづけ…

Such a thought inspires me.


You were selected to be on this stage by a stroke of fate.
なぜ奪った　私のこの世界を
This stage is just like illusions you made.
なぜ消えゆく　壮麗なこの世界で


狂気の戯れ　真夜中の交錯
月夜に照らされ貴方とこのまま溶け合い…


夜の果てまで


Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
舞台のつづきを見せて
蒼ざめた肢体を　愛しつづけて　永遠に


Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
機械仕掛けの心
蒼ざめた肢体に　罪の証を刻み


Shadow’s dream of truth and false.

You were selected to be on this stage by a stroke of fate.

why you were selected　in this world of mine
This stage is just like illusions you made.
why you were killed　locked away in this world


Lonely night, I hold a ceremony of darkness.
Changing mind is an omen of tragedy.
You are all mine.

a play of shadows　midnight perversion
dyed in scarlet　I embrace you　with these hands...

Cut off the whole things.
in flowing blood
Set your reason free.
kiss me
Follow instincts.

Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
show me the continuation of this play
I still love your body which has grown pale

Such a thought inspires me.


You were selected to be on this stage by a stroke of fate.
why you were spirited away　to my world
This stage is just like illusions you made.
why you are disappearing　in this world of splendor


a play of madness　blending together at midnight
illuminated by moonlight, thus we melt together


until the night's end


Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
show me the continuation of this play
I still love your body which has grown pale... for all eternity


Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
my mechanized heart...
the proof of my crime is engraved upon your pallid body


Shadow’s dream of truth and false.
