Window of Funerals*

Ir ol thia , Tu o Ar ol vi ecla.
Tu o ir ol dir.
(Allow me to kill you over and over within my dreams
That will become my salvation)

Alone in a room at dawn,
the dark shadow upon the window lets out a sigh
Calling out for another, called upon by another— Behind my back stood no one
Instead, shredded memories scarred my back with claw marks

Staring at the non-existent dreams of the future, dyed in blue,
was a single broken doll
That day had sunk deep under kindness and pain, but where is it now…?

If, someday, a tragic sin would sprout from our overlapping lips,
it will end if you discard my body from my soul
Let me burn the sight of you into my eyes, as you continue to sleep

The flower petals, dyed in red, sang a chorus of praises
for the twisted world
Losing its voice to answer, the empty coffin trembled

Ir ol lag , Tu o ve Ir ol sinal…
(My own soul is my one and only truth…)

Until the life you’ve embraced dries up, be sure to seek for me,
for I’m a corpse smiling in kindness and pain
Hold out your hands as the dreams of the past rain upon you,
even if the mistakes fade out
The lonely dried petal will simply crumble away

* “Window of Funerals“ (“Tsuisou no Mado”, 追葬の窓)
More literally, the term “tsuisou” (追葬) refers to the ancient practice of burying more than one corpse in the same tomb. Usually those that are buried together are those related, most commonly relatives or perhaps, in this case, married couples. The title of the original single in 2009 has “tsuisou” in Katakana (ツイソウ), making its meaning ambiguous. “Tsuisou” is more commonly written with the Kanji 追想 (“Reminiscence”).

Tsuisou no Mado

Ir ol thia , Tu o Ar ol vi ecla.
Tu o ir ol dir.

Yoake no heya ni hitori
Tameiki Mado ni morasu kurai kage
Yobikakete Yobarete Dare mo inai ushiro ni
Chigirareta kioku ga hawaseta tsume no ato

Ao ni somerare aranu yume wo miru
Kowareta hitokata
Yasashisa to itami ni oboreta ano hi ha doko…?

Kasaneta kuchibiru kara Kanashiki tsumi ga Itsuka mebuku nara
Kokoro kara karada wo kirisutereba owaru wa
Nemuri yuku anata wo Kono me ni yakitsukete

Aka ni somatta hanabira ha utau
Yugami no sekai wo
Ushinatta kotae ni furueru Kara no hitsugi

Ir ol lag , Tu o ve Ir ol sinal…

Dakishimeta inochi kuchiru made Watashi wo motomete
Yasashisa to itami ni hohoemu nakigara kara
Furisosogu yume ni te wo nobashi
Machigai keshitemo
Hikarabita hanabira hitotsu Kuzureta dake
