music: Mana
lyrics: Mana

 

The moth spreads its poison
Multiplying parasites
Taken by visciousness
Too many ghosts

You have no face,
throw your intellect away
The nonsense of a silly corpse
Does not exist in this place

e x c l u de, Fade away, vanish

You have no face

Your intellect is left behind
Egoist Stained with jealousy
Where is it, your being?
You are fixed by a spell

Were you to embrace this malice,
accept it, that empty dream,
you'd remain within the void
Not even noticing existance,
in the scene of destruction Agasthiya writes

If you don't believe in your self in the endless void,

The problems of this world are made by your desires.

The moth spreads its poison
Multiplying parasite
Taken by visciousness
Too many ghosts

What have you now but to hone your poison...
The dead are best left to their coffins
To rest quietly in peace

e x c l u de, Fade away, vanish

In your nightmares, even should you flee
Agasthiya will still laugh like so...
So best embrace him as you sleep
Until you pass away

If you don't believe in your self in the endless void,

It's a sad world to hold grace, nihilism*

A destruction scene with Agasthiya

Note: This can also be translated as
"it's a sad world when nihilism is held a virtue"
I believe.

 

 

It's an even sadder world when people believe anything else a virtue.

Hmm. So Agasthiya is an Indian sage who is said to have done some rather great things.
Please look him up if you are interested, because I'm not sure how he fits into this song
since he did so many different things that all might make sense in the context of the song.
Plus he wasn't in Eko Eko Azuraku and I don't really read much into the Occult,
to which I'm assuming this bears some connection.

Other than that I suppose there's the obligatory "gosh this reminds me of a different band's lyrics"...
Honestly, the lyrics to this song do not sit well with me. I agree that you have to believe in your own self-worth,
but at the same time I would have to say that all there is in this world is nihilism.
Because to believe in anyone but yourself is to be let down.
So don't believe in anyone or trust anything, and you will be safe.
I think I am worth something. However, I don't consider my life to be worth anything at all...
