天涯の谺 || An Echo of the Horizon

歌詞

何もかも逆しまな　鏡に浮かぶ憐れな夢

水鏡映し世に
知らず知らず魅かれ堕ちゆく
空し月夜の静寂
独り弧を描くは待宵

紅い目で仰ぐ　逆さに輝く城

嗚呼　注ぐは　燃え盛る　紅鬼の葉　炎舞
天も地も　明暗も　全てを　私に反して
流れゆく星　揺らいで　空泳ぐ　鬼子
逆様に　吹き遊ぶ　空事　舞い散る　風花
涙紡いで　天を刺せ　正邪の針

天地分かつ境界に
月と日を重ね両義なぞる
大地見上げ天を踏む
逆川に浮かぶ双椿

蒼い月影に　照らさるる水面の空

嗚呼　昇は　零れ落つ　閃の矢　紫電
善悪も　強弱も　全てを　私に反して
呑まれゆく影　映して　艶やかな　鏡
蕭やかに　頬を伝う　暗涙　さめざめ　天泣
永久に渡らふ　菊を射る　還の弓

Translation

A pitiful dream floats in the mirror, in which everything is inverted.

I am unconsciously lured in
By the world reflected upon the water’s surface, and I fall.
In the silence of this transient, moonlit night,
I draw an arc, alone, and I wait.

With my red eyes, I look up at the shining, upside-down palace…

Aah, the burning, demonic autumn leaves fall from the sky. The flames dance. (1)
The sky and the earth, light and dark… I will turn everything upside-down!
In a sky in which the flowing stars sway, the wicked child swims.
The fabrications rage in reverse, and the snow dances down.
My tears fall. The needle of right and wrong pierces the heavens. (2)

Upon the boundary between Heaven and Earth,
I stack up the moon and the sun and follow their double meanings.
I gaze up at the ground, and step upon the sky.
A pair of camellias floats upon the reverse river.

The blue moonbeams illuminate the water’s surface – the sky.

Aah, the arrows of purple lightning rise, spill, and fall.
Good and evil, strength and weakness… I will turn everything upside-down!
The bewitching mirror reflects the swallowed-up shadows.
My silent tears solemnly stream down my face, like rain from a cloudless sky.
The arrow that strikes the chrysanthemum returns, crossing over eternity…
