Lyrics
Kanji=
 * まるで迷宮　禁断の園　いつかは　忘却の彼方へ霞む
 * 不詳匿名　血統さえも　仮面の下に浮かべる微笑


 * 深紅のロマネを満たせば　祝福の昂ぶり
 * 聖なる神の契約　鮮血のヴィーナス
 * 虚偽なる夢想　革命のマスカレード


 * いま　刻は満ちて　この世界は終わりを告げ
 * 栄華の極みと　闇の空は　１つになって
 * 誰かの　祈りは　いつの日でも消えやしない
 * 穢れてしまった黒の大地を
 * 解き放て　たとえ命が果てても
 * 明日は変えられる
 * Now she has disappeared from the ballroom


 * 舞踏祭壇　ドレスが舞えば　禁書の　戸惑いも恐怖も忘れ
 * 王権支配　制御不能の　絢爛華麗な夢に囚われ


 * 小さなナイフを忍ばせ　月影に踊った
 * 思想と旗のプライド　闇夜のテルミドール
 * 悲劇と喜劇は　交錯のマスカレード


 * いま　自由の鐘　その合図が　鳴り響けば
 * 真実を求め　瞳はただ　夢を描いた
 * 銀のスプーンじゃない　純然なる　愛を求め
 * 木漏れ日溢れる光の地へ
 * 走り出せ　たとえ命が果てても
 * 明日は変えられる
 * Now she has disappeared from the ballroom


 * いま　刻は満ちて　この世界は終わりを告げ
 * 栄華の極みと　闇の空は　１つになって
 * 誰かの　祈りは　いつの日でも消えやしない
 * 穢れてしまった黒の大地を
 * 解き放て　たとえ命が果てても
 * 明日は変えられる
 * Now she has disappeared from the ballroom

 * -|English Translation=
 * Like a forbidden garden labyrinth that one day fades into oblivion
 * Lies a smile beneath the mask, unrecognizable even to one's kin


 * If this crimson Romanée satisfies, then it is the exhilaration of blessings
 * A covenant of a holy god, the fresh blood of Venus
 * Fantasies made false, a masquerade of revolution


 * Now filled with engravings that herald this world's end
 * The heights of glory and skies of darkness become one
 * Someone's prayers will not disappear any day soon
 * Unleash the tainted black earth
 * Even if life ends
 * Tomorrow can be changed
 * Now she has disappeared from the ballroom


 * On a ballroom altar with dresses flowing, a forbidden tome of confusion, fear, and oblivion
 * Entraps you in a gorgeous dream of unrestrained royal authority


 * Concealing a small knife while dancing under the moon's shadow
 * A pride of ideals and banners, the Thermidor of night
 * Tragedy and comedy become a masquerade of coalescence


 * Now the bells of liberty signal their reverberation
 * In search of truth, one's eyes paint a dream
 * It seeks not a silver spoon, but true love
 * Run to the shining land overflowing with sunlight
 * Even if life ends
 * Tomorrow can be changed
 * Now she has disappeared from the ballroom


 * Now filled with engravings that herald this world's end
 * The heights of glory and skies of darkness become one
 * Someone's prayers will not disappear any day soon
 * Unleash the tainted black earth
 * Even if life ends
 * Tomorrow can be changed
 * Now she has disappeared from the ballroom
