So here’s the thing about this song…it’s included on three releases: VENOM, TOUR09, and BRILLIANT. The first one is pretty early in their career and isn’t on streaming services. BRILLIANT also isn’t on Spotify and I couldn’t find it for purchase digitally. That just leaves TOUR09, and this track isn’t available in any form digitally. For a while, I wasn’t even sure if this track was actually on this release.
I bought the release to confirm, and then I worked with @koutetsuhime to extract the lyrics from the booklet into something digital. Even that didn’t shed any light on why this song seems to be omitted from every digital release. I provide to you the original kanji and the DeepL translation. Does anyone have ideas or want to correct the translation?
Kanji
Over and over Ever more
争いに滅びゆく。。。過ちに染められていく。。。
乾いた砂が赤水孕む
予積の空に十字を刻み込む
Jesus、please pray for us
止まない雨。。。
止まない嘘。。。
泣き叫ぶこの空に。。。
遮る闇
Over and over Ever more
亡骸は産まれ逝く。。。過ちに。。。
乾いた砂が赤水やむ
矛盾の空に十字を刻み込む
Jesus、please pray for us！
止まない雨。。。
止まない嘘。。。
位き叫ぶこの空に。。。
遮る闇。。。
枯れない天。。。
枯れない愛。。。
芽を吸かす荒れた地に。。。
注ぐ光。。。
DeepL translation
Over and over Ever more
Perishing in the fray… Tainted by mistakes…
The dry sand is filled with red water
I’ll carve my cross in the foreboding sky
Jesus, please pray for us
The rain that never stops…
The lie that never stops…
In this sky that cries out…
The darkness that blocks
Over and over Ever more
Corpses are born and die… To mistakes…
The dry sand ceases to be red water
engrave a cross in the sky of contradiction
Jesus, please pray for us!
The rain that never stops…
Lies that never stop…
In this sky that cries out…
The darkness that blocks…
Heaven that never dies…
Love that never dies…
To the wasteland that sucks up the buds…
The light that pours…
Don’t I always find the most interesting things?
