venvenLyrics: Kouta Okochi (KOUTAPAI)
Composition: PoKeR
Under the silence of a moonlit night
A mist of blood begins to spread
I walked a demon’s path
Labeled as the abyss itself
Even if you try to escape
From the chains I set free
They'll follow you wherever you go
Staining red with fresh blood
With a murderous intent as sweet as love
I'll laugh with rapture at the demon realm
Your voice, your hair, and even your body
Are all prizes of mine
Skin shredded to the rhythm of a dance
Torn to pieces, like flower petals
Stitch one, two, three of them
Into my haori
Abuse, scorn, screams, applause
The chaos blends into confusion
I was dropped into a paradise
Mocked as purgatory itself
Without leaving behind
Any cunning little imp crawling about
I'll bend and break them in a blink
And continue to bathe in a rain of blood
A nightmare as sweet as love
Will become the performance of this grand banquet
Your voice, your hair, and even your body
Are all prizes of mine
Skin shredded to the rhythm of a song
Torn to pieces, like flower petals
Stitch one, two, three of them
Into my haori
Notes:
1- My usage of terms like "demon" and "imp" might not match the official translation in the game because I don't play it. I tried keeping this entirely in English, though I gave up with the haori part anyway because something about the word "coat" didn't feel right at all…
2- I'm not very sure how the title of this song should be read. My best guess is something like satsuyoku ikebana? Seibana? I don't know. But it means a flower that is born from bloodlust, same as the Chinese title.
3- The chanting parts after the chorus aren't written in the lyrics, but I'm pretty sure they're singing the first verse in a different key. Keep in mind it's the first one both times.
