Artist: The Back Horn
Title: Akai Yami ((The) Red Darkness)
Words: The Back Horn
Music: The Back Horn

Blow a kiss to violence As well as to unfair deaths
Everyone is beautiful, equally, without meaning
The mother sprays it about, the whole room covered in milk
The child is there, just crying, the mother is, laughing

Okay, on the count of 3, go to sleep peacefully,
the smell of the spring rain, sound of gunfire

Treading on asphault completely laden with rats
The assassin draws the crazed woman closer to his body

Aah, but the hand that touched my cheek is too cold,
look I'm crying now, heartrending

We know nothing of war, and every night we just
blow a kiss to violence, everywhere the flowing red blood
is kind and gentle, and unforgiven
the flowing red darkness
is kind and gentle, and unforgiven
is kind and gentle, and unforgiven

Aah, we don't know a goddamn thing
We just want to be saved, heartrending
My chest just aches like hell, just shoot me through
On these nights, always

Translator's Notes: I took a tiny bit of creative license to make the lyrics match up to the singing length-wise.


Romaji

bouryoku ni kuchizuke wo rifujin na shi to tomo ni
daremo ga utsukushii byoudou ni imi mo naku
hahaoya ha makichirasu heyajyuu ga miruku mamire
kodomo ha naiteru hahaoya ha waratteru

saa, mittsu kazoetara yasuraka ni nemure
haru no ame no nioi jyuusei

nezumi no merikonda asufaruto fumitsukete
ikareta onna wo koroshiya ha dakiyoseru

aa, demo hoo ni fureta te ha tsumetasugite,
namida ga koboreta setsunai

sensou wo shiranai bokura ha maiban
bouryoku ni kuchizukeru nagarederu akai chi ga
yasashikute yurusarenu
nagarederu akai yami ga
yasashikute yurusarenu
yasashikute yurusarenu

aa, bokura nani hitotsu wakacchainai yo
sukuwaretai dake setsunai
mune ga kurushii yo uchinuite okure
on these nights, always
