"Absolute Destiny Apocalypse"
(Embedded Song)
Translation: Neil Nadelman

English Translation

The absolute destiny apocalypse.
The absolute destiny apocalypse.

Birth records,
Baptismal records,
Records of death.

A shining place in a desert of darkness.
A gold plated Shangri-La.

Day and night turning back on one another.
A time plated paradise lost.

The darkness of Sodom,
The darkness of light.
The darkness of distance,
Endless, endless darkness.

The absolute destiny apocalypse.
The absolute destiny apocalyptic darkness...

I travel down into the depths of the sea.
Down through the history
In the depths of the sea.
And on the bottom I find myself.

"Holy Actor Forever"
(Embedded Song)
Translation: Neil Nadelman

English Translation

When? Where? Who? Which?
When? Where? Who? Which?
The flow of the blood of memories
The cradle of a thousand years of bliss.
I am an actor.

Just like the sphinx in the eternal winter desert thinks
You know the winds of sadness
Of the body as it's born and dies.

The holy actor forever
Cast into hell.

A margin of darkness and light.
Shining! Burning!
Awakening! Singing!
Burn into the world!
Burn into the moment!
Over and over again!

"Light"
(Embedded Song)
Translation: Neil Nadelman

English Translation

Universal light,
Mosaic light.
Lucifer, son of the dawn.

Apocalyptic light, Michael's light.
Androgynous, son of darkness.

Flaming light, heavenly light.
The hierarchy of Heaven.

Illusory light, eternal light.
Tricks of the mind, capricious birth.
Nicocus, Erebus, Uranus, Thanatos.

The globe of Gyunus, shining with light.
Gyunus, in every way born in miracles.

The pleasure principle, the nirvana principle.
The certainty of death, namely light.
Life is merely the moving shadow of the living

Light, temperance, existence.
Seeking eternity,
Namely the folly of returning to the beginning.

Two sexes, two poles, two of me.
Front, back, heaven, earth, two of me.
Angel, devil, two sides of me.
And inside I'm hollow.
Inside I'm hollow.

And inside I'm hollow.
Inside I'm hollow...

"Revolution"
(Opening theme)
Starchild Records
Lyrics & Performer: Masami Okui
Composer & Arranger: Toshiro Yabuki
Translation: Neil Nadelman

English Translation

Let's live our lives heroically,
Let's live them with style.
Even if the two of us are ever torn apart
Take my revolution

In the sunlit garden,
We both joined our hands
Drawing close for comfort,
We both swore:
Never again would we ever fall in love.

I see that photo of us smiling,
Standing cheek to cheek.
I look at it and a bit of loneliness starts to fill me.
Even if I dream,
Even if I cry.
Even if I get hurt reality keeps on coming recklessly.

I wanna find out where I am,
The value of being me.
Gonna take who I've been up 'till now
And find the strength to throw it all away.
Strip down to nothing at all.
Become like a rose petal blowing free!

Even if the two of us are ever torn apart
I swear that I will change the world.

"Theatre"
(Embedded Song)
Translation: Neil Nadelman

English Translation

Theatre.
An extraordinary mind.
Collective development.

Theatre.
An extraordinary person.
Idealized reality.

An operating table, a wrecked ship.
A pure play, the spira mirabillis.

Whirlpool.
Spiral.
Endlessly changing, the spira mirabillis.

Scipio's dream...

Theatre.
Illusory actions.
Immortal actions.

Theatre.
Illusory people.
Immortal structure.

Ammonite. Alchemy. Sacred beetle.
Spira mirabillis.
Reborn to live again.
Spira mirabillis.
The miraculous spiral.

My, my, my, my,
My, my, my, my,
Neverending theatre.

With geometry its stage.
Life and the mystery of death.
Everything passing away.

Death and Rebirth.
Death and Rebirth.
Death and Rebirth.

Death and Rebirth.
Death and Rebirth.
Death and Rebirth.

"Truth"
(Closing Theme)
Starchild Records
Lyrics: Seiko Fujibayashi
Composer: Risei Arai
Arranger: Akihiko Hirama
Performer: Riki Yumi
Translation: Neil Nadelman

English Translation

Missing truth and forever,
Kissing love and true your heart.
Hold me tight
With your arms so true.
The key to unlock tomorrow is reality.
I want to keep on smashing lies apart.

No matter how much the two of us may talk
You still can't see anything.
Excuses are fitting for adults
Who just cling to old stories.

The angels who were passed over
Don't need wings to fly!

Missing truth and forever
Kissing love and true your heart.

I like who I'll be tomorrow and
I'll believe in myself because
I want to believe.
I want to keep on hating lies.
