Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Minimoog Solo by Mirai
Diabolic desire is burning so higher
Leading me to this place I may deserve this
The price I have to pay
For what I have done
Bloodstained is the glory of the days that are gone
The stories that are never told
So dread and cold
Tribulation for what I have done
Thousands of lost souls once innocent and pure
They are after me behind my back
Will death ever save me from this nightmare?
Until the moment my kingdom did fall in the
Illusion through my fear or my tears
Confession eternally sealed in my remorse
Bridge:
Scream for love, Scream for hate
Scream for life, Scream for death
Chorus:
Buried secret never touched
Insanity trapped in the curse
Hear the corpses cry!
Souls laid to rest
No place to hide
Next is my turn
Hear the corpses cry
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Souls that I've hunt haunt me
Now I've got no eyes to see
Murders justified by insanity
Souls never purified eternally
Diabolic desire is burning so higher
Leading me to this place
Bridge:
Scream for love, Scream for hate
Scream for life, Scream for death
I may deserve this
The price I have to pay
For what I have done
Bridge:
Scream for love, Scream for hate
Scream for life, Scream for death
Chorus:
Buried secret never touched
Insanity trapped in the curse
Head the corpses cry!
Souls to be laid to rest
No place to hide
Next is my turn
Hear the corpses cry!
If you think they're gone
Then I must say
Pestering Past is heard in the corpsecry
Laughter will be interrupted by the
Fear of their vengeance
Now I hear the corpses cry!

Scarlet Dream
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Female Chorus: Chie K.
Please open my eye, the third eye
Please open my eye, I shan't deny
Please open my eye, scarlet lies
Please open my eye, I shan't defy
The pseudo deaths I've been going through
And remembrance of the past catches my soul
The truth is raped, Escape the world that I knew
And remembrance of this future catches my soul
Please open my eye, the third eye
Please open my eye, I am blind
Please open my eye, death inside
Please open my eye, it's so bright
Don't believe what you hear with your ears
Don't believe in the fate that you fear
I am blind but I know the truth is here
I am deaf but I know Revelation coming near
Chorus:
I am the Sun, I am the Moon
I'm living in the Scarlet Dream
Born in heaven and raised in hell
I'm wandering in the Scarlet Dream
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Please open my eye and it begins
Minimoog solo by Mirai
Please open my eye, the third eye
Please open my eye, I shan't deny
Please open my eye, scarlet lies
Please open my eye, I shan't defy
Soon I'll reach the sea of love behind the lies
Then I'll touch IT as the inner light guides
Don't be late, catch the words they try to hide
Don't belong to the world before your eyes
Nietzschean Conspiracy
Music: Mirai, Lyrics: BÅrd Eithun
My acquisition of an illusory defilement
Holy expurgation, tell me how values influence you
Measure of man and intrusive commandment
Compunction, is it all getting through?
I am Law, I am Right
Threshold of pain, like you ever lived in vain
Might is relative, might is right
Will to power, a goddamn fight
Well developed through Nitzschean conspiracy
Hammond solo by Mirai
Your God is omnipotent, why then indulgent?
Extinction of absolutes, sedentary idolatry sent
Through Dionysian worldview
Will be divided by reason, understood by few
I am Law, I am Right
Threshold of pain, like you ever lived in vain
Might is relative, might is right
Will to power, a goddamn fight
Well developed through Nitzschean conspiracy
A Sunset Song
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Despise me, Deprive me of my Pride
(It) used to be my bride, When I cry, when I die
I'll be denied by my disguise
So vile...
My eyes, cold as ice
None shall overcome the horrible destiny
Sympathized but paralyzed
When identity is lost death may be the only way to ease me
Fender Rhodes solo by Mirai
Tear me apart til I die
Tear me apart, sacrifice
Tear me apart and hear my cry
Tear me apart to kill my pride
Something I'll have to lose
In return to reach the truth
Something I can't lose
Even if my death is abused
Something I'll have to lose
In return to reach the truth
Something I can't lose
Even if I'll never be soothed
I will never believe in those lies
Nothing sacred, Nothing divine
When pondering on the life fragile
Helpless resistance I will resign
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Finite is my life, still searching for my shrine
As long as I feel so scared
The mask which I wear, My fear is leading me nowhere
Now my life is a farce I cannot bear
Tear me apart till I die
Tear me apart, sacrifice
Tear me apart and hear my cry
Tear me apart to kill my pride
I don't need the dreams to believe in
As I know I'll never be relieved
As I see the fantasy is a deceit
As I know no one shares my grief
Despise me, Deprive me of my pride
(It) used to be my bride, When I cry, when I die...
I'll be denied by my disguise
And I wait for the sunset
Waiting for the sun to set
Impromptu (Allegro Maestoso)

Dreamsphere (Return to the Chaos)
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Hammond solo by Mirai
Primal impact in the sonic galaxy
Collapsed by beauty, collapsed into fury
Reached insanity beyond mortality
Astral infinity to find the reason to be
Bridge:
Through the eyes of a hawk I will see
The para-future when I'll be free
Through the eyes of a hawk I will see
Cosmic heaven where I will be
Chorus:
Help me, Help me please
I'm drowning in the middle of the dream
Hear my plea, hear me scream
I'm drowning in the middle of the dream
Waves of eternity in my heartbeat
Collapsed by beauty, collapsed into fury
Predicted destiny beyond my sanity
I will NEVER find the reason to be
Bridge:
Through the eyes of a hawk I will see
The para-future when I'll be free
Through the eyes of a hawk I will see
Cosmic heaven where I will be
Chorus:
Help me, Help me please
I'm drowning in the middle of the dream
Hear my plea, hear me scream
I'm drowning in the middle of the dream

Return to the chaos, in the dreamsphere
Return to the chaos, dreams of the dead
Return to the chaos, dreams I fear
Return to the chaos, with no regrets
Return to the chaos, in the dreamsphere
Return to the chaos, in the sonicscape
Return to the chaos, dreams I fear
Return to the chaos, in the sonic chaos

Ecstatic Transformation
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Female Chorus: Chie K.
Dancing to the ancient rhythm midnight
Come with me and I
Start to create a new life
It requires another death
Seeking for a pleasure through pain
Secret pleasure I gain
Nothing sane, nothing insane
Life requires another death
You have to realize that a creation of life is a creation of death
Midnight ritual, so sensual
One-way trip to heavenly bliss
Midnight funeral, so bestial
One-way trip with my deadly kiss
Ecstatic transformation, Anti-mass annihilation
Sensual reincarnation
Life requires another death
Easy mass procreation, Imaginary expiration
Constructive incineration
It requires another death
Chorus:
I'm always ready to come to heaven or hell if you'd call so
I'm always ready to loose the beast that can't be my foe
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Enthusiastic, you'll be the beast
Beautiful, lustful, I'll be the beast
Now I'm ready to feast
Life requires another death
Hypnotized by lust you scream
No love needed in the rite supreme
Ecstasy in this sanctuary so heavenly
Don't be afraid to destroy
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Hammond solo by Mirai
Slaughtergarden Suite
Scene I: At Dawn
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Serenity in a moonshine, blood red, celebration for the dead
Die at my slaughtergarden, My eyes won't succumb to your filthy lies
Die at my slaughtergarden, Bred in hate, full of drive to destroy
Guitar solo by shinichi
Sign of death with a heavy breath, monstrous visions, far beyond your
imagination
Die at my slaughtergarden, My eyes won't succumb to your filthy lies
Die at my slaughtergarden, Bred in hate, full of drive to destroy
(Facing) absolute violence, Abominable sentence
Personal vengeance, beyond my tolerance
Accidental genocide, sacrifice my pride
Collision inside, destiny I divide
Never forewarned, Insanity's born
Darkened thorns, reason to be torn
I'll just let them know (x4)
Scene II: The Dead Are Born
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Existence cursed, abominable fate
Distorted lust armed with hate
Frozen emotions uncontrolled and caged
Vengeance rising in a deformed rage
Call me whatever you want
Cruel monster with a bloody hunger
Inhumane demon from beyond
(You'll) lie in a coffin six feet under
Vengeance to the world full of lies
Through the pain the victims suffer from
No mercy given to the chosen sacrifice
No love given as the beast (asleep) rises
Through the torture I will give
Through the pain, the reason to live
The dead are born against the light
The dead are born
The dead are born, to nobody
The dead are born, at night so bloody
The dead are born, through the pain
The dead are born, to live again
Scene III: Destiny Divided
Music: Mirai
(Instrumental)
Scene IV: Slaughtergarden
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Die at my slaughtergarden, Say good-bye to your filth life
Die at my slaughtergarden, Vengeance to the world full of lives
Die at my slaughtergarden, Say good-bye to your filthy life
Die at my slaughtergarden, God is denied when my victim dies

Bring Back the Dead
Music: Sigh, Lyrics: Mirai
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Once beloved now lost forever
Wings of Angel torn by malignance
Why wasn't it me?
Living in a shadow of death
I wish it was a dream
I won't believe in salvation, (I) shouldn't be saved
I wait for my condemnation in the cold flame
Repeated suicide in imagination, Watch the coward pray
Unexpected destination, a miserable slave
Die with a hope of live in despair
Death you're dying, Life you're losing
Spiritual suicide, Life I denied
Light the night divides, Pride I denied
Bridge:
Now I set a fire to cremate
The treasure that will never be the same
I won't wait for the fate, lost in this shade
Past will never change, too late to be saved
Life light as a feather, so is mine
Why wasn't it me when angel smiles
So I'll live on the lies when my conscience dies
How could I stand the slaughter in this paradise?
Chorus:
Bring Back the Dead, in this sorrow
Bring Back the Dead, regret will grow
Bring Back the Dead
As their voices get higher and the leading light glitters
Bring Back the Dead, Now I see
Bring Back the Dead, What it means
Bring Back the Dead
Until the moment my existence perishes in eternity
Guitar solo by Shinichi
Eternal regret I own't forget
What I want (is a) punishment, for the dead
Why wasn't it me
Living in a shadow of death
I wish it was a dream
I am the one who is guilty but I can't see
Nothing is the same as it used to be, silence is my plea
Helpless slave to destiny, I'll never be free
Shattered is my humanity, Eternally
Die with a hope or live in despair
Death you're dying, Life you're losing
Spiritual suicide, Life I denied
Light the night divides, Pride I denied
Bridge:
I have no future, for which I would live
I live in the dreadful past to forgive
My sin, spawned by inner feelings I have killed
I cry out of the loneliness to be filled
What I want is a punishment, demon inside of me
Now I see no way to embrace this reality
Now I see no reason for me to be
Suicidal words are chanted repeatedly
Chorus:
Bring Back the Dead, succumb to fate
Bring Back the Dead, that's what I hate
Bring Back the Dead
No matter what they say I'm the only one to blame
Bring Back the Dead, I'll watch them pray
Bring Back the Dead, We'll meet in the end
Bring Back the Dead
That is the only hope that can ease my eternal pain
Bring Back the Dead, to succumb to fate
Bring Back the Dead, that's what I hate
Bring Back the Dead
Now you're gone but I want to know what should be done
Bring Back the Dead, I'll watch them pray
Bring Back the Dead, What'd they say?
Bring Back the Dead
Though I know it's nothing more than death as a human...
Hammond solo by Mirai
Requiem - Nostalgia
Music: Sigh, Lyrics:Mirai
Chorus: Yukito O., Hibiki K.
Scream, I'm trying to scream, But will they hear my shriek?
Dream, or is it a dream? Resistance that is so weak
Visions turning red, confusion inside of my head
Chorus:
Now I see the light in the flame that is my burning pride
Drowning in the middle of the miserable dream
Nostalgia tears my flesh
Love was taught, Taught by death
Hate was sought, sought by life
Drowning in the middle of the miserable dream
But dream is fading away
Love was taught, Taught by death
Hate was sought, sought by life
Dying, am I dying? Will I be buried with my past?
Crying, I hear them crying, when my heart is beating so fast
Fears grown in my sight
The place where I'd hide
Chorus:
Now I see the light in the flame that is my burning pride
Drowning in the middle of the miserable dream
Nostalgia tears my flesh
Love was taught, Taught by death
Hate was sought, sought by life
Drowning in the middle of the miserable dream
But dream is fading away
Love was taught, Taught by death
Hate was sought, sought by life
Guitar solo by Shinichi
