Lyrics
「宵闇に朽ちた楽園。吊された屍達。
君は何故この境界を越えてしまったのか。
さぁ、唄ってごらん」
朧気な...記憶を...辿って...
曖昧な...自分を...描いた...
どんな...顔で...笑い...どんな...声で...歌ったのか...
お気に入りの...白い...
嗚呼…そうだ…私は…
彼に…殺されたんだっ…た……
伯爵は何時からか 青髭と呼ばれていた
私が嫁いだ時分には もう既に呼ばれていた
あんなにも優しい眼差しが 昏い色を帯びたのは
染み付いた鉄の匂いと 血の匂いのせいかしら？
嗚呼 夫は私を愛してない 気付かない振りしてきたけれど
もう これ以上は偽れない 私は誰よりも愛していたから
過ぎ去った季節の 長い夜の中で 貴方の瞳の奥で
抱かれていたのは 愛されていたのは 本当は誰なのかしら？
決して戻せない季節も 長い闇の中で 禁じられた部屋の奥で
寂しさ埋めるように 虚しさ燃やすように
誓いを破られたことに腹を立てたからなのか、
愛していたからなのか、今ではもう判らない。
最初の妻を殺したとき、理性も共に死んだのか、
新しい妻を娶っては犯し、犯しては殺した……。
どれ程 信じて祈っても 救ってなどくれなかった……
例え
《
「君を魔女として断罪した、恩知らずな豚共を、私は許しはせぬぞ！」
「なるほど。それで君は、いや、君達は吊るされた訳だね。この禁じられた、秘密の部屋に。
流された血は、宵闇に流される血で贖うものさ。
さぁ、復讐劇を始めようか…」
彼の留守の間に 宝部屋を回る
開けたことのない 部屋が気になっている
娘の耳元で 私はこう囁いた――
「
取って置きの宝物が隠されているわ……」
そう その鍵穴に 挿れたら 回せばいい
もう すぐ出ちゃうでしょ 私達の【屍体と
嗚呼 女が本当に抱いて欲しいのは
罪な人ね でも 愛しい人よ
哀しみは 憎しみじゃ 決して癒せないわ
宵闇に唄が 響くだけ
貴方の喜劇を今 終わりにしよう！
「復讐というのも、歪な愛情の形なのかもしれないね。」

“A paradise rot in dusk. Hanged corpses.
Why did you cross this border?
Come, try to sing...”
Tracing my...hazy...memories...
Picturing my...vague...self...
With what kind of...face...did I smile...with what kind of...voice...did I sing...
Why...is my favorite...white...gown[kleid]...so...red...
Ah..that’s right...I...
Was killed...by...him...
The earl was called bluebeard since sometime ago
When I married him, he was already called such
His kind gaze was tinged with darkness Was it due to the smell of metal that clung to him and the stench of blood?
Ah, my husband doesn’t love me, I tried to act in ignorance at first
But I can’t fake it anymore, because I loved him more than anyone else
In the long nights of seasons past
Who was the one embraced and loved in the depths of your eyes?
In the lengthy darkness of seasons never to return
Sins of lust were repeated in the depths of the forbidden room, to bury loneliness, to burn away emptiness, ah...
Was it out of irritation at a broken vow,
Or was it out of love? I still don’t know.
Perhaps my reason died along with my first wife when I killed her,
I took in new wives and raped them, raped them and killed them...
“Dear! Stop it!”
“You want forgiveness!? Kneel!”
“Hey, what’s wrong? You’re not your normal self?”
“Sit, you pig!”
“Please stop! Aaah-!”
“Ahahaha...now, go on your journey!”
“I’m sorry, please stop!”
“That’s right! Cry! Yell!”
“It’s painful...”
“Ahahaha...!”
No matter how much I prayed in faith, salvation wasn’t bestowed...
Even if my opponent is god, as long as there’s a hole[loch], ah, I’ll pierce it...
《With my spear[Longinus]!》
“I won’t forgive those ungrateful pigs who judged you as a witch!”
“I see. So you...all of you were hung within this forbidden and secret room.
Shed blood should be paid for with bloodshed at dusk.
Now, let the revenge tragedy begin.”
While he was absent, she went around the treasure rooms
Constantly bothered by the room she never opened
So these are the words I whispered at her ear...
“A wonderful treasure is hidden in the forbidden room of the golden key...”
Yes, once you’ve inserted it into the keyhole, just turn it
They’ll be coming out soon, our 【Corpses and Impulses[Id]】
Ah, women truly seek embrace for their souls, not their bodies
(“Where’s the key to my secret room?” “Um...it’s...” “Oh? So you disobeyed me.” “Eh?”
“Alright. If you want to see it that badly, I’ll give it to you. You’ll be the new residence in that room today.”)
You’re a sinful man, but you’re my beloved too
(“No! Please, let me say my prayers before I die, at least.” “Hehehe, alright...”)
Hatred will not bring healing to sadness
Only a song will resound at dusk
Let’s put an end to your comedy!
(“Save me, brother, come-!”
“Are you done yet? Hurry up!”)
“Hurry up!”
“I can’t wait any longer!”
“Ah, kyaaaah!”
“Ooooooh!”
“Brother!”
“Die, bluebeard!”
“Fuhahahaha!”
“Ah, aaaah...”
“What? Damn, you monster!”
“Brother!”
“Come here quickly!”
“Hahaha....”
“Revenge might be a twisted form of love.”
“Still, why can’t humans separate love from lust? How disgusting. Ahahahaha!”
