Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
怖い夢の続き涙を拭い　振り返る斑な灰　時に消え 誰かの生き方を歩き　鵜呑みに飲み込んだ幻想 見せられないまま 風化を辿る狭い扉 Blue Velvet 綺麗なまま忘れたい君は死の海を渡り Blue Velvet 綺麗だから触れれば触れるほど傷は微笑みさえ奪う 絶景に群がる不可抗力に終わる 知っていただろ?「この世界は残酷だ」 死に物狂い奪い合う日々 我が物顔馴れ合い差し出したのは何? 夢が覚めない 迷う鸚鵡を抱いて乾涸びる風に佇む 眠い愛に殺されそう さあ行こう 猿が踊る裸体の塔 誘惑の舌手招く 本能に飼われるままに 腐乱心襲う　時雨後々灰 これ見よがしに下を見下ろす ここまで降ろせ 悪趣味な真っ赤な血 ほら野原の風　心に水を差し芽生える 蕾が…また踏みにじられ 「変わったのはお前じゃなかった、傷付けた俺が笑いながら死んでいただけ…。 日々淡々と腐にふけながら、その眼もこの血さえも。 さあ人間を辞めろ。」 Disclose Sacrifice 産み落とせ 嗚呼 神々しい彼方は 闇に独り…独り叫ぶCharisma 焼き付く 浜辺へと打ち上げられる 異臭を放つ生きた証は 太陽に喰われ朽ちる道 Blue Velvet 綺麗なまま忘れたい君は死の海を渡り Blue Velvet 綺麗だから触れれば触れるほどこの胸を壊し Blue Velvet 愚かな嘘でも良い　ただ少し愛したい 虚ろな眼を空に向けて 明日を見つけて笑う 昨日の手首が…離さない	Kowai yume no tsuzuki namida o nugui　Furikaeru madara na hai　Toki ni kie Dare ka no ikikata o aruki　Unomi ni nomikonda gensō Miserarenai mama Fūka o tadoru semai tobira Blue Velvet Kirei na mama wasuretai kimi wa shi no umi o watari Blue Velvet Kirei dakara furereba fureru hodo kizu wa hohoemi sae ubau Zekkei ni muragaru fukakōryoku ni owaru Shitte itadaro?

Hibi tantan to fu ni fuke nagara, sono me mo kono chi sae mo. Saa ningen o yamero." Disclose Sacrifice Umiotose Aa Kōgōshii kanata wa Yami ni hitori…hitori sakebu Charisma Yakitsuku Hamabe e to uchiagerareru Ishū o hanatsu ikita akashi wa Taiyō ni kuware kuchiru michi Blue Velvet Kirei na mama wasuretai kimi wa shi no umi o watari Blue Velvet Kirei dakara furereba fureru hodo kono mune o kowashi Blue Velvet Oroka na uso de mo ii　Tada sukoshi aishitai Utsuro na me o sora ni mukete Asu o mitsukete warau Kinō no tekubi ga…hanasanai	The continuation of that scary dream I wipe my tears and look back The specks of ash disappear in time I walk in someone else's footsteps And believe without a doubt, the fantasy Not ever able to show you I follow the weathering path leading to the narrow door Blue Velvet I want to remember you beautiful You crossed the Dead Sea Blue Velvet Because you are beautiful, every time I touch you, My scar takes away even your smile Everyone gathers around for the perfect view But the end is inevitable You knew that, right? It's a cruel world Days of fighting for things My precious thing, what is it the fools are offering? Can't seem to wake up from the dream Standing silent against the dry wind as you hold The parrot that's lost its way I feel like I am about to be killed by languid love Let's move on To the naked tower where the monkeys dance The tongue of temptation lures us in Following our instincts against better judgment Decomposition attacks the soul Sometimes rain, then ashes Flaunting it as I look down upon Bring it down till here Your distasteful bright-red blood Feel it? The breeze in the field The water reaches the heart and it gives life But the bud… is trampled on again "It wasn't you who changed, I hurt you and I just died laughing…. Living everyday as it comes, those eye and even this blood. Let us stop being human." Disclose Sacrifice Give birth Oh, you are so god-like but you are all alone in the darkness And alone you scream Charisma Embedded The proof of my existence washes up to shore It gives off an awful smell as the sun devours it to the road of decay Blue Velvet I want to remember you beautiful You crossed the Dead Sea Blue Velvet Because you are beautiful, every time I touch you my heart breaks Blue Velvet It may be a foolish lie, but I just want to love a little more I raise my vacant eyes towards the sky I laugh as I find tomorrow The wrist from yesterday… won't let go

Trivia

Lyrics

• In the English version of DUM SPIRO SPERO, the printed lyrics contain two mistakes:
  • Two verses were mistakenly added after the first refrain:

Feel it? The breeze in the field

The water reaches the heart and it gives life

But the bud… is trampled on again

My precious thing, what is it the fools are offering?

• In the verse after that, the line "My precious thing, what is it the fools are offering?" was changed to "What precious things did you give your neighbors?".
