Unofficial translation/非公式の英訳

You stand exposed to the hellgales
that blow fiercely, flame-red.
Perhaps you are wandering, lost.

Your disease persists, even in the Avici hell.
You peered into the depths, and now you’re falling ever deeper.

Where are you?
Who will acknowledge you?
How long can you keep struggling?

That is the misery of living, of following the path
and reeling in the thread, lost.
No matter where you seek your rest, you will never find it.

In that case, instead of leaving the path
and drowning beneath the surface,
It’s obvious what happiness is, isn’t it?

It is as your heart dictates.
It is as your emotions dictate.

With avarice, kill your shame.
With emotion, kill your fear.
By madness, sort them.

And then—

All you will know is howling,
all you will know is raging,
all you will know is scorn

And you will become a beast.

If you are to live as a tool
without thinking about anything
then you should just cast away
everything that you bear.

You will stand utterly still
until you perish
without even the thinnest rope to rely on.

This is the emptiness of living, of wandering the path
utterly alone and lost.
No matter where you seek your rest, you will never be at peace.

In that case, this is the meaning of continuing to walk this road
utterly alone.
You don’t need to ask what misfortune is, do you?

Born as a human, now no longer human.
Carrying disease, festering from it.
When you reach your destination
carry out subhuman deeds.

You will be sent out and used, and then you will gain your peace.
You know that’s what happiness is, right?

Now, kneel
when you become a beast

until you present the heads
of your former brethren.

    What a dark song at its core, which is very fitting considering who’s themes are arranged here. Thanks for the translation, Releska!
