Cartagra ~Tsukikurui no Yamai~ Opening Theme – Rengoku

The title of the song is a pun on the word ‘rengoku’, which originally means ‘purgatory’. The first kanji, ‘ren’, is replaced with another kanji that means ‘love/romance’.

Romance Purgatory
Vocals: Shimotsuki Haruka
Lyrics: Manyo

To the sound of a ticking needle and soft palms
A desire blooming out of season creeps up

A fading consciousness and the fallen scarlet color
Gnaw way at my heart that wants to be held

I hear the voices of the insects
The inflamed days leave nothing behind

Lai Lai, let it echo
The spun eternal tune
The moon sinks into the darkness and the flowers wither and dissolve

I dreamed of pain and bitterness
Until the end of the earth
Until my body perishes, I’ll keep yearning for you, won’t I?

Deep in your eyes that I seem to get sucked into
What were you gazing at?

Within the dark box, I become immobile
What’s reflected by the broken world is-
(The shining light turning into dried ashes)
(And forgotten memories revive)

Lai Lai, guide me
Gather the distorted light
If you smile, I won’t fear anything

Even if thousands of days and months are to pass by
We will be reborn and seek one another; I’ll never forget about you

The moon sinks into the darkness and the flowers wither and dissolve

I dreamed of pain and bitterness
Until the end of the earth
Until my body perishes, I’ll keep yearning for you, won’t I?

恋獄
歌：霜月はるか
作詞：まにょっ

刻む針の音　柔らかな手のひら
忍び寄り　狂い咲く欲望

薄れてく意識　零れた朱の色
抱かれたい　心蝕んで

蟲達の声　聞こえてくる
爛れた日々は　何も残さず

Lai　Lai　響かせて
紡いだ　永遠の調べ
月は闇に沈み　花は朽ちて溶ける

痛み　苦しみは
夢見た　地の果てまで
この身体滅ぶまで　貴方を求め続けるでしょう

吸い込まれそうな　瞳の奥で
貴方は何を見据えていたの

暗い匣の中　動かなくなる
壊れた世界に　映し出されたのは
（差し込む光　乾いた灰となって）
（忘れていた記憶　甦る）

Lai　Lai　導いて
歪んだ　光集めて
貴方が微笑むなら　何も怖くはない

幾千の月日　過ぎ去ったとしても
生まれ変わり求め合う　貴方を決して忘れはしない

月は闇に沈み　花は朽ちて溶ける

痛み　苦しみは
夢見た　地の果てまで
この身体滅ぶまで　貴方を求め続けるでしょう
