So, as promised, I translated The Sect and Divine Place in English. No guarantee, as always. Don't post it elsewhere without informing me, please.
I'll post Pendulum soon (after having talked to Chi about it) along with Witchcraft, but this will still take some time ^^°
Else, enjoy!
The Sect
Lyrics&Composed by Mana
Transcription&Translation by Lapis
ima takaraka ni narihibiku kawaranu sekai wo tsugeru
meikai no kane no oto ha wagara wo koyoi fukaki fuchi kara sou mezameru
It's a symbol and a code
kokoro no fukaki fuchi ni juuji wo kizami In sect D side
kore kara hajimaru gishiki wo In sect D side
My prayer becomes bloodshed and the world erodes
ima tobitatsu kuroi hane wo hiroge hokori takaku mae yo
sonzai suru karada ni shirusareta dai san no tobira no naka de
anata wo mezamesaseteku mabui hikari ha kanata e maichiru hane no shizuku kagayakeri dokoshinae
koyoi hikisakareta toki wo torimodosu
towa ni kawaranu sekai ha ima koko ni
kokoro no fukaki fuchi ni juuji wo kizami In sect D side
kore kara hajimaru gishiki wo In sect D side
My prayer becomes bloodshed and the world erodes
ima tobitatsu kuroi hane wo hiroge hokori takaku mae yo
sonzai suru karada ni shirusareta dai san no tobira no naka de
anata wo mezamesaseteku mabui hikari ha kanata e hane no shizuku kagayakeri dokoshinae
itsukushimi-bukaki shugoshintachi yo kawaranu ai mote michibiki tamou
I believe to the world's end. The heart's grief, purified. Clad in the glorious night. Fly away
You feel to the world's end. The heart's grief, purified. Clad in the glorious night.
Translation:
The high choirs proclaim an never-changing world
The rings of the bells of Hades will awake us this night from the deep lake
It is a symbol and a code
In my heart's lake I'll engrave a cross In sect D side
From now on ceremony will start In sect D side
My prayer becomes bloodshed and the world erodes
I fly away, spread my black wings and dance with pride
My earthly*1 body will be written down in the third door
I will awake you, the flashing light from the distance, prancing feathers form a glittering shower
Give me back the time that was taken from me
The never-changing world has reached me
In my heart's lake I'll engrave a cross In sect D side
From now on ceremony will start In sect D side
My prayer becomes bloodshed and the world erodes
I fly away, spread my black wings and dance with pride
My earthly*1 body will be written down in the third door
I will awake you, the flashing light from the distance, feathers form a glittering shower in eternity
You lovely guardian deities! Your love within myself will never change, it is guiding me!
I believe to the world's end. The heart's grief, purified. Clad in the glorious night. Fly away
You feel to the world's end. The heart's grief, purified. Clad in the glorious night.
*1 = existing, living body.

Divine Place
Lyrics&Composed by Mana
Transcription&Translation by Lapis
aoku kirameku BIROODO no oku hisokayakana basho miwaku no hanasono
tsuki no mahou ha ai to yume wo ayashiki meikyuu no naka e izanau
Secret Code ha futari no Silence kioku no naka ni
Secret Maze wo kakenuke Silence mugen no naka wo
Just one Divine Place
kagayaku toki no naka de me wo tojireba amai toiki kuruoshii ai no tawamure
kagayaku yume no naka de kazanari-au hikari to kage utsukushiki ai no shirabe ni
tsuki ha kakeyuku mujou ni toki ha ima kono basho ga kiesattemo

kagayaku yume no naka de kazanari-au hikari to kage utsukushiki ai no shirabe ni
kagayaku toki no naka de me wo tojireba amai toiki kuruoshii ai no tawamure
ai no shirabe ni
kagayaku toki no naka de
I pray this beautiful place is a secret, may it last endless, eternally.
Translation:
Behind blue velveteen curtains is a secret place, the garden of Eden*1
Seduced by the spells of the moon they enter a secret maze of love and dreams
Inmidst of their memories is silence (Silence) the code of both (Secret Code)
Flee from the secret maze (Secret Maze), the illusions surrounding them, silence (Silence)
Close your eyes in this sparkling*2 time, the sweet breath and the game of love steals their reason
In this sparkling dream they'll meet again, light and shadow, follow the sound of beautiful love
The moon scatters and deseases in cold-heartedness and even if this place vanishes, the time is now
Inmidst of their memories is silence (Silence) the code of both (Secret Code)
Flee from the secret maze (Secret Maze), the illusions surrounding them, silence (Silence)
Close your eyes in this sparkling time, the sweet breath and the game of love steals their reason
In this sparkling dream they'll meet again, light and shadow, follow the sound of beautiful love
Close your eyes in this sparkling time, the sweet breath and the game of love steals their reason
To the sound of beautiful love!
In this sparkling time!
I pray this beautiful place is a secret, may it last endless, eternally.
*1 = wbw: Flowergarden
*2 = sparkling sounds not right for me here, but twinkling even more XD"""
Thank you Lapis, and Sarah.
Interesting lyrics for sure. Quite dark.
So, I'm up here with new songs:
Dead Scape and Agnus Dei.
I still have Pendulum at hand, but I don't like the outcome, so I won't post it - not yet.
Else, enjoy!
Dead Scape
Lyrics&Composed by Mana
Transcription&Translation by Lapis
I saw the world end last night in my agony
The end
I know the world ended last night in my sadness
The end
My sight
I'm killing, I'm killing, you're killing satisfied
The death scape, beautiful ones encountered at the edge of my death
In side / my brain / in a hole
Ahh, the beautiful flower is blooming in profusion at the end of this world
[aa utsukushiki hana saki midareteriru kono yo no hate ni]
Now in order to regain the days I have lost I'm here at the end of this world with you
[ima unshinatta hibi torimodosu tame ni kono yo no hate ni anata to]

Agnus Dei
Lyrics&Composed by Mana
Transcription&Translation by Lapis
aa, tsumetai musuu no toge ni toraware
miugoki hitotsu deki ha shinai
ima mabui shinku no bara ha hohoemu
sukitooru yubi ni karamasete
anata to sou kono mama hitomi ni utusuru
omoi ha kagayaite watashi wo tsuzumu
I wish ... so once again
anata no yume ga mirai e to tsuzuku michi wo terashite
aa kieyuku musuu no toge ha karada wo
kirikizami akaku somete yuku
ima mabui shinku no bara ha hohoemi
nagareru namida ni kuchitsuke wo
kono mama kasanari hibiku
kodou ha itoshikute anata wo tuszumu
I wish ... so once again
anata sou kono mama toki wo tomete
aoi bara to amai kaori ni tsuzumarete
I wish so once again

Agnus Dei [Lamb of God]
Ah, pierced by countless cold thorns
I cannot move at all
Now the pretty scarlet flowers smil e
I let myself get tangled by invisible fingers
As you reflect before my eyes just as you are,
the thought [of you] shines and wraps around me
I wish ... so once again
Your dream is enlightening the way which leads [me] to the future
Ah, the countless thorns that have torn my body
colour it blood-red as they vanish
The pretty scarlet flowers crack a smil e
and kiss the falling tears [away]
Ah, the way I am now piles up the sounds
of the pulse that wraps around my beloved one [you]
I wish ... so once again
Beloved one, stop the time in this moment
Surrounded by the sweet smell and blue roses
I wish so once again

So guys, that's it. It seems a very tragic song, as I believe it's about one dying remembering his love in the moment of death. I must admit sometimes Mana's lyrics are weird, but this time he rather described dying very elegantly, sadly, beautifully, poetically. Thumps up, I like that!
