Kanji:

漂う波に寄り添う華は
あまりにも脆く散り急く
泡沫(うたかた)の繚乱(りょうらん)物語

黄昏の宵月に紅染めの月華が咲き
命の灯籠ともし
鋼の身体に誓いを羽織って
紅差す華を護り賜う
枯れて尚

硝子の瓶に囚われ咲いた
一輪の凄惨な過去を露に溶かして
禊の蜜に誘われし蝶の
描く儚き残酷な
白昼の夢見物語

苟且(かりそめ)の古(いにしえ) の美しく散華(さんげ)に消ゆ
きつく締上げた帯
レエスに忍ばす決意の刺繍は
羽ばたき嘆く選び賜う
天か地か

歪(いびつ)な剣に魅せられ生きた
荒れ狂う魂の熱で天を焦がして
清めの炎は置き去りし今日の
追憶を虚飾で彩る
まやかしの絢爛(けんらん)物語

禁断の華を 手折るのならば
どうぞ (どうか) ずっと(ずっと)
散るまで傍にいて

硝子の瓶に囚われ咲いた
一輪の凄惨な過去を露に溶かして
禊の蜜に誘われし蝶の
描く儚き残酷な
白昼の夢見物語


English:

The flowers drift close on the waves

They are too fragile and wilt too quickly for this world

This is the story of their short but glorious bloom

In the twilight of the eve a crimson moon blossoms

and alights the lantern of life

It puts a vow on its body of steel

to protect the crimson flower

though it may be its end

A flower bloomed inside a glass bottle

and the butterfly spreads its gruesome history in the fog

as it is drawn to the honey of the purification

We watch its cruel and fleeting story

as in a daydream

Though their bond be fleeting, their death shall be glorious

Their belts are tight

They hide the embroidery of their determination in lace

With sad flaps of your wings you will choose for her

Will it be heaven or earth?

You lived in fascination of a twisted sword

Burn the heavens with the fire of your raging soul

The flames of purification will turn our memories of today gaudy

after we have left these days behind

It is its false and flowery story

If you will take the forbidden flower with you

then please, oh please

stay by its side until it withers

A flower blooms inside a glass bottle

and the butterfly spreads its gruesome history in the fog

as it is drawn to the honey of the purification

We watch its cruel and fleeting story

as in a daydream
