未知なるカダスを夢に求めて || The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

歌詞

微睡みの中に見ゆる黄金の都
狂気に導かれるまま再訪を目指す

夢か現かすらもわからないままに

正気で戻ったものは誰も居ないという

窮極の神々の住む瑪瑙の城を目指す

夢幻の門を守る神官の語る
暗澹たる警告もこの意思を止めること能わず

全ての夢を見るものの
夢想が積もり生まれた世界
私がかつて描き出した
茜燃ゆる理想郷を目指せ

魔の森に住まう民に月樹の酒賜り
禁忌から還りし者と杯を交わす

孤島に刻まれた神々の顔
人の子と交われどその徵は面に残ろう

禁断の力ダスを守る
無貌の神に仕える異形
月の裏側には混沌
時を超えて距離を越えて進め

顔のない鬼が音もなく迫り来る
不可視の巨体がのたり這い回る

恐怖の谷を抜け闇の塔を登り
光の都から神の子の住む地へ

石の迷路の奥に忌むべき神官が住み
冒涜的な祈りを捧げる

凍てつく荒野から地下世界に至り
死都の遺跡を越え彼の地へ飛び出せば

引力に引き込まれるままに最果ての巨塔に迫る
神々の姿はそこになく、這い寄るは…

大地の神々は安寧に囚われ
カダスの城を捨て夢の都へ去る

夢想家の創り出した世界
神ですら魅了する町
混沌の使いに連れられて、夢見た場所へ…

宇宙の中核へと

狂神の座す場所へと

嘲笑う狂気を逃れ
暗黒の深淵へと落ちる
善神が輝く道を示し
恋い焦がれた夢の都に至る
時と距離を超えて

辿り着いたその場所は懐かしき
少年の記憶に残る景色
もう一度あの世界へ

かつて暮らした町へ

Translation

In my slumber, a golden metropolis comes into sight.
Guided by madness, I aim to revisit it.

All the while unaware whether this is a dream or reality.

They say nobody has returned from madness.

I aim for the agate castle where the ultimate gods reside.

Even a sombre warning from the priest, (1)
who guards the gate to dreams, cannot stop my will.

This world was born from an accumulation of dreams
had by one who sees all dreams.
I aim for the utopia burning madder red
that I once imagined.

I am given moon-tree wine by the dwellers of the forest of demons.
I exchange cups with those who return from what is forbidden.

The gods’ visages were carved into the solitary island.
Though they consort with humans, their mark will remain on their faces.

Protecting the forbidden Kadath,
the grotesques serve the faceless god.
Chaos reigns on the moon’s other side.
Crossing over time, and overcoming that distance, advance!

A faceless demon soundlessly approaches.
Its invisible bulk calmly creeps about.

Escape the valley of fear and climb the tower of darkness
and from the metropolis of light, head for the land where the descendants of gods reside.

An abominable priest dwells in the stone labyrinth
offering up sacrilegious prayers.

From the frozen wasteland, I arrive in the underground world
and when I pass through the ruins of the dead city and leap out towards that place—

Drawn by the gravitational pull, I come closer to the tall tower at the furthest ends.
The gods were nowhere to be seen, and the one crawling up was—

The gods of the Earth were imprisoned by peace.
They cast aside the castle of Kadath and left for the dream metropolis.

This world was created by a dreamer.
This town would even attract a god.
Led by the messenger of chaos, I head to the place I saw in a dream…

I head for the centre of space.

I head to where the mad god sits.

I evade the sneering insanity
and fall down into a dark abyss.
The benevolent gods show a shining path to me.
I arrive at the dream metropolis I yearned for,
crossing both time and distance.

The place I arrived at was nostalgic,
a landscape that remained in my memories from a young boy.
I head to that world once more.

I head to the town I once lived in.
