THE BACK HORN - Mugen no Kouya (english translation)

Manly!

無限の荒野 / An Infinite Wasteland

Music and Lyrics: THE BACK HORN

I’m stepping on and scattering corpses, yet I’ll still kill more

Because now the chains have been released

A peerless blade

At the end of a vast wasteland, what are you thinking of?

Inside my body a dark mass is squirming

A pale-shining meteor creeps into my sky*

Only the pale-shining moon knows where I am

Biting through to the bone and scattering them about, I dream of tomorrow

My soul is going to dry up, even if my blood doesn’t

I’m badly injured, and a cruel rain is falling

I wonder if I’ll die here?

“No, not yet, I can’t die here”

A pale-shining meteor creeps into my sky

Only the pale-shining moon knows where I am

I’m stepping on and scattering corpses, yet I’ll still kill more

Because now the chains have been released

A peerless blade

A pale-shining meteor creeps into my sky

Only the pale-shining moon knows my fate

I live, therefore I live**

I live, therefore I live

Notes:

*Might be “blue-shining”

**This I’m not so sure about.

I googled it, and what came up was “Ware omou, yue ni ware ari,” which is a translation of Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am.” I guess this line is a play on that, because they change “omou” (to think) to “ikiru” (to live).

無限の荒野 / Mugen no Kouya

Shikabane        fumi-chirashite nao mo mata kiru

Kusari wa ima hanatareta        musou no yaiba

Hiroi kouya no hate     nani o omotte iru?

Kuroi katamari ga karada no naka ugomeite iru

Aoku hikaru ryuusei ga ore no sora o haizuri

Aoku hikaru tsuki dake ga ore no yukue o shitte ita

Hone made kami-chirashite asu o yume miru

Tamashii ga kawaite yuku chi wa kawakanu no ni

Fukai kizu o otta         mujou na ame ga furu

Koko ga shini basho na no ka?

“Ie, mada da, koko de wa shinenai”

Aoku hikaru ryuusei ga ore no sora o haizuri

Aoku hikaru tsuki dake ga ore no yukue o shitte ita

Shikabane fumi-chirashite nao mo mata kiru

Kusari wa ima hanatareta        musou no yaiba

Aoku hikaru ryuusei ga ore no sora o haizuri

Aoku hikaru tsuki dake ga ore no sadame* o shitte ita

Ware ikiru yue ware ari

Ware ikiru yue ware ari

^*This kanji says “unmei” (運命) but I heard “sadame” (定め)

It doesn’t really matter since they both mean fate/destiny in this case.
