An illusionary full moon; a cruel sun
The never-ending lunar eclipse of the Grand Guignol
The Devil and his angels hold hands and dance
An awakening Masquerade
Then everyone shivers in solitude as they remember their fears

A brilliant Paradise is a dictator's garden
Time of 1001 nights in the dark capital
In this grotesque city, while asleep you are a queen
Beautiful smile, wash away my sin

The sleeping lion has awakened,
pursuing the dream not seen through
The sleepless village is eternally pursuing
the tomorrow without a tomorrow
Alone I open my eyes this night

Forever within the darkness
Like crimson, swaying embers
Even in armor-clad hearts
Smouldering thoughts do not go out
