Title: Kasou (Flower Burial)
Words: Hyde
Music: Ken

Separately scattered about flower petals,
drops of pink around the waning moon
reflecting an eternal love.

Eyes...left open
a body that's going to rot
splendidly lost,
only this consciousness left
without waiting for the spring.

my beloved one, you just gently turn cold,
in these arms as you are broken
listen. The abyss of dreams is calling
like always.

on the night that blooms out of season
the melody of a restless soul
the flower floating in the darkness
my only parting gift.

it comes to an end at last
the pain of being reborn
in the earthen ground I swallow
the promise I'm bound to
a dead world

separately scattered about flower petals
drops of pink around the waning moon
reflecting an eternal love

This evening...oh the ecstasy of a dream...
At last my eyes closed

On the night that blooms out of season
the melody of a restless soul
the flower floating in the darkness
my only parting gift

English:
Gravity is on the increase as time goes by
my body returns to earth
there is sky up in the air
my body is in your sky and my life is in your cosmos
we never come close to each other
be here we exist as it is.....

Translator's Notes: The word kasou with the kanji used here, is made up. Hyde changed the Kanji for Fire to Flower. Normally the word would mean "cremation" but since Hyde changed the kanji it's meaning is something like "consumed by flowers" "buried in flowers".
