Rose Maiden Jail

ALI PROJECT

I, as beautiful as a leopard,

Am dressed in a coat of darkness

And trample on the lilies of hell

In order to approach where you are

The sweetness of the fleshy fruit in my fangs

Is a falsified dream of untied sprouts

Let’s tangle them

Are you escaping or chasing after something?

You no longer know

Look at me and go deeper,

Drowning in the hellish nectar of unrest

Devilish talons and corroded bones

Make grating and reeling sounds

Is this love or is it more like hatred?

Is an answer necessary?

Aa, my tired soul is

Just as icy as you

I’m returning to life in your fingers

Even if I can be tamed only by loneliness

I want the tail of a butterfly

For my alluring, beautiful ankle-chain

That connects me to door to Hades

Tracing the tip of the keyhole with my tongue

Following the path that tastes like luxurious blood

Am I hastening?

Is this an embrace or is it grudging?

I just don’t know

I look at your turning arms that are

Purposely scattering roses of hell

A dirty moon on a decayed night

The waning moon is again waxing

Be it love or be it betrayal

It’s the same corpse

Aa, the thing in this hand that has done it all,

If fading from those eyes,

Can be reborn any number of times

Are you escaping or chasing after something?

You no longer know

Look at me and be further captured

In burning crimson roses of hell

Are you wanting to live or wanting to fall?

Because you do not know yet,

From this love may come the sadness

I wish for the demise; don’t you?

Aa, that heart is plundering,

Being imprisoned inside the depths of my body

As I become penetrated with light
