[English]

I'm looking for you

Trying to reach your roses

Carried away by the time

My one eye crushed by the madness of silence

You've gone away

From the stage

Leaving no words

There's just fake tears left

Searching for a bouquet of roses adorned with fake pearls

I'm blind insane

In the red of silence

Now I've lost your love

A puppet kept by hallucinated love

Get me on my feet

Get me back to myself

Pretend you love me

Stare at me, dyed crimson to my fingertips

I can't take it anymore, this serenade of loneliness

Let it flow into the sea of illusions

Even if I hold a blood-soaked angel awakened from a dream

In my arms, I can not stop

Silent Jealousy

Don't you leave me alone

Disturbed by sorrow

Adorning a love I can't return to

Inside repeating loneliness

Tell me true, where do I have to go

To love the pain?

I still want your love, stop the love

Erase the wildly blooming memories

"I just wanted to stay with you

I just wanted to feel

Your breath of grace

I didn't know what to do

I couldn't say anything

When consciousness returned

Everything had been washed away

By the tide of time, even you

But the scars of memory never fade away

I can't stop loving you

Stop my tears

Stop my loving

Kill my memories"

You dyed my heart in blood

There's no way to kill my sadness

Kill me before you leave

The eyes held by frantic love

Can't see anything

Even now, I miss you

Can't live without you

Silent Jealousy, falling into a dream

Embracing the memories

Stay in yesterday, stop time

Erase the repeating loneliness

Take me back to the memory,

To the dream

Silent Jealousy

Don't you leave me alone

Disturbed by sorrow

Kill me, Love

...

[Japanese]

I'm looking for you

Trying to reach your roses

Carried away by the time

静寂の凶気に片目を潰されたまま

You've gone away

From the stage

Leaving no words

There's just fake tears left

偽りの真珠で飾った薔薇の花束を探す

I'm blind insane

In the red of silence

Now I've lost your love

幻覚の愛に飼われた操り人形

Get me on my feet

Get me back to myself

Pretend you love me

指先まで真紅に染ったオレを見つめて

もう耐えきれない 孤独のセレナーデ

虚像の海に流して

夢から覚めた 血塗れの天使を

胸に抱いても I can not stop

Silent Jealousy

Don't you Leave me alone

悲しみに乱れて

戻れない愛を飾る

繰り返す孤独の中に

Tell me true 何処に行けば

苦しみを愛せる

I still want your love 愛を止めて

くるい咲く記憶を消して

"I just wanted to stay with you

I just wanted to feel

I your breath of grace

I didn't know what to do

I couldn't say anything

When consciousness returned

Everything had been washed away

By the tide of time, even you

But the scars of memory never fade away

I can't stop loving you

Stop my tears

Stop my loving

Kill my memories"

You dyed my heart in blood

No way to kill my sadness

立ち去る前に殺して

叫気の愛に抱かれた瞳は

何も見えない

今も I miss you

Can't live without you

Silent Jealousy 夢に堕ちて

抱き締める記憶を

Stay in yesterday 時を止めて

繰り返す孤独を消して

Take me back to the memory,

To the dream

Silent Jealousy

Don't you Leave me alone

悲しみに乱れて

Kill me, Love
