Galloesque Dirge No. 1 -Dubhe1-

Gazing at you in eternal sleep in your casket, I get hot between my legs
I blew out the candles and removed the padding　Covered in your filth, I made the casket creak
Shaking the cross, I kept on claiming you as you began to rot with maggots gushing from you
I set fire to the bouquet I offered you in eternal sleep in your casket
The church bells resounded, bidding farewell　Covered in your filth, I made the casket creak
Shaking the cross, I kept on claiming you as you began to rot with maggots gushing from you
I dig graves for all the stupid people　Dig graves　Dig graves　Dig graves
　 I dig graves in a rotten world
Shaking the cross, I kept on claiming you as your bones began to crumble
The outsiders doubled over laughing in warped love so I kicked them to hell

1 Dubhe is one of the seven stars in the Ursa Major constellation.

黒鶏式葬送曲第壱番-ドウベ-

棺桶で永久の眠りに就く君を眺めて股間が熱く為る
燭台の火を吹き消して詰物を外した　君の汚物に塗れて棺桶を軋ませた
腐り始めて往く蛆が涌く君を十字架を揺らして求め続けていた
棺桶で永久の眠りに就く君へ捧げた花束に火を灯す
決別を告げる教会の鐘が鳴り響いた　君の汚物に塗れて棺桶を軋ませた
腐り始めて往く蛆が涌く君を十字架を揺らして求め続けていた
全ての愚かな人間共の為に墓を掘る　墓を掘る　墓を掘る　墓を掘る
　 腐敗した世界で墓を掘る
崩れ始めて往く骨になる君を十字架を揺らして求め続けていた
歪んだ愛情と第三者が腹を抱えて嗤うから地獄に蹴り落とした

INCUBUS
(Dream Demon -INCUBUS-)

We awake in the shadow of the city, the incubi that made you hungry, playing dreamy melodies from caskets shrouded in darkness

Ominously throwing back our shoulders, we spit

When children are dreaming in the city ruled by neon lights I smile scornfully at the funeral processions of the corpses who sought delight

Wantonly thrusting up, we impregnate you with despair

Drowning in a game of love piled with wads of cash, you buy love　You buy dreams　You buy me
To you, drowning in a game of love piled with wads of cash, we shall sell happiness

Prowling in the darkness, you're crushed by the ordinary and the light coming from the lanterns elicits the truth

At a shameless dinner we eat dreams

Breaking in a game of love that conceives destruction, you buy love　You buy dreams　You buy me
To you, breaking in a game of love that conceives destruction, we shall sell happiness

Heavy breathing resonates in heaven1 which tumbles into the nooks of the red-light district
Starving for love, starving for joy, you're tricked to death

At a distasteful dinner we eat dreams
At a shameless dinner we eat dreams

Breaking in a game of love whirling with wads of cash, you buy love　You buy dreams　You buy me


Drowning in a game of love piled with wads of cash, you buy love　You buy dreams　You buy me
To you, drowning in a game of love piled with wads of cash, we shall sell happiness

1 Jojo uses the unusual word "haraiso" here, which is an old loanword from Portuguese to refer to heaven in the biblical sense.

2 Jojo has stated unquestionably in an interview that this song is about the relationship between THE GALLO and their fans.

都会の影で目を覚ます腹を空かせた夢魔共が闇色の棺桶から夢の旋律を奏でる

不気味に反り返り唾液を垂れ流す

子供が夢を見る頃に虹灯が支配する東京で歓喜を求めた屍人の葬列に冷笑する

理不尽に突き上げ絶望を孕ませる

札束を積む恋の遊戯に溺れる君が愛を買います　夢を買います　僕を買います
札束を積む恋の遊戯に溺れる君に幸福を売りましょう

暗闇を彷徨う君は日常に押し潰されて洋灯から漏れる明かりが真実を導き出す

破廉恥な晩餐で僕等は夢を喰らう

破滅を宿す恋の遊戯で壊れる君が愛を買います　夢を買います　僕を買います
破滅を宿す恋の遊戯で壊れる君に幸福を売りましょう

風俗街の片隅に転がる楽園に喘ぎ声が響く
愛に餓えて悦びに餓えて嵌め殺されて逝く

悪趣味な晩餐で僕等は夢を喰らう
破廉恥な晩餐で僕等は夢を喰らう

札束が舞う恋の遊戯に壊れる君が愛を買います　夢を買います　僕を買います

札束を積む恋の遊戯に溺れる君が愛を買います　夢を買います　僕を買います

Kamikaze-Class Destroyer1 ・ Yamikaze2

They tear up young girls and peel off their skin　They tear up young girls and devour their meat
The full moon reflecting on the sea of Palau3 rolls about crying with laughter for the blood of the dead
The full moon dancing on the sea of Palau drags the dead down to the seabed
A ghost ship clad in stagnant fog in the darkness flew the bloodthirsty rising sun flag in place of the Jolly Roger4
Bathing in splattering, fresh blood, the remnants piled up
It's mealtime
They tear up young girls and peel off their skin　They tear up young girls and devour their meat
A ghost ship abducting girls for meals flew the bloodthirsty rising sun flag in place of the Jolly Roger
Bathing in splattering, fresh blood, the remnants piled up　Bathing in explosive blood loss, the remnants piled up
It's mealtime

1 This is a type of warship, of which 9 existed. They were in commission from 1921-1947.

2 "Yamikaze" is the name of the ship this song is about -- the Kamikaze-Class destroyers were all given names ending in "-kaze". However, "Yamikaze" was neither one of the 9 completed ships, nor one of the ships that was planned. In other words, "Yamikaze" is Jojo's own creation.

3 Palau is a Pacific island which hosted a Japanese settlement during WWII.

4 The Jolly Roger is the traditional skull and crossbones pirate flag, which is flown on a ship after it's been taken over by pirates. This song tells the opposite story: the Japanese navy in WWII have taken over a Palau pirate ship and are flying the rising sun flag -- the flag of imperial Japan -- to carry out nefarious deeds. Jojo has also confirmed this premise in an interview.

5 "Ahoy" can be heard frequently as backing vocals, but this isn't written in the booklet.

The Great East Asian Magic Square

Elo'tm, Essaim, frugativi et appellavi.

A septagram where the very strange magic square invokes miracles

The midnight ruler awakens in hunger

You are condemned, hanging by the neck　You could have nightmares from the gallows
You could see hell　You could see the end

I consume my meal and torment you to death with my ferocious genitals

You are condemned, hanging by the neck　You could have nightmares from the gallows
You could see hell　You could see the end

Elo'tm, Essaim, frugativi et appellavi.

I sing of love on the distasteful gallows

You are condemned, hanging by the neck　You could have nightmares from the gallows
You could see hell　You could see the end

You could see the end
You could see the end
You could see the end

Poppy

I gaze at the midwinter constellations and mourn the passing of time

The second hand of the clock tower is frozen where it heralded the end of the world　Time stops

I gaze at the midwinter constellations and envy the passing of time

The second hand of the clock tower is frozen where it heralded the end of the world　Time stops

I want wings to soar through the starry sky　I want jet-black wings　Memories melt away like white, fluttering flowers

I want wings to soar through the starry sky　I'd sacrifice my life for you　I want to see you so badly I can't bear it　I'm coming to see you

The Ginza street lights illuminate a gruesome reality　Gazing at the sky receding into the distance　I searched for you in my fading consciousness

I want wings to soar through the starry sky　I want jet-black wings　Memories melt away like white, fluttering flowers

I want wings to soar through the starry sky　I'd sacrifice my life for you　I want to see you so badly I can't bear it　I'm coming to see you


I suspect this song is about Jojo's mother, who passed away years ago.
