An important note: My translations are crafted in such a way that they can be used to sing along with the original without sounding awkward -- that means I try to keep the syllables per line the same while still maintaining a rhyme scheme. Because of this, though, I do have to take some liberties with the lyrics. All the same, I did my best to keep it close to the original meaning.
(TL;DR: My stuff is, uh, sing-along-able.)
Anyway, please enjoy!
I myself am hell

(Code doesn't work? Ah, I trust you folks can find this one yourself. I did just provide you with a good place to start.)
Into a mirage, I sink and find myself in deeper dark
Every time I break a soul, hell's frozen wrath grows in my heart
And the sands flow again, into the wind they fade and slowly disappear
I'm imprisoned by the future that refuses to relent
Destiny just waits till it can bring me under once again
I was born, came to be, as all life's sworn enemy; was born to bring death here
As I kiss the remnants of the fires of blood and earth
Angels have descended to sing a requiem of nature's unbirth
I myself am hell. Nobody's here.
Only emptiness can be seen in these eyes
I myself am hell. Nothing's here.
So I turn my back on the time I once recognized as when I was alive
Just a lonely candle flame that couldn't last a moment's breath
Wished away and whisked away from darkest night to blacker yet
For a goal, for an end, to come to me in my life... was nothing but a dream
Yet your passion burned in me, your truth, your love; your everything
Shook me to my core and showed me that I could begin again
I just could not escape all those bitter, dreadful days; yet your light still shone in
And as I prayed and focused on the flow of my own blood
A ringing of innocence through me echoed when it never could
I myself am hell. No escaping sin.
I can only chase my missing memories
I myself am hell, hazardous.
I can only walk, trace the moon in this twilight path, wandering till I find peace
Don't ever let go of your promises or tomorrow
You'll see that they'll soar so high, much higher than even you could know
I myself am hell. No escaping sin.
And still freedom strays from my own longing hands
I myself am hell, hazardous.
Yet I still believe... let me free up my soul, and then take me to the world's end
Take me to the roaming wind.
On a starry night, I'll cast a wish towards the sky
Praying for your heart to shatter just like mine
Nonchalantly, I'll be raising an umbrella in your soul
You're feeling fine when you've crossed the line and
Cling onto those threads again...
Praying for your heart to shatter just like mine
Nonchalantly, I'll be raising an umbrella in your soul
You're feeling fine when you've crossed the line and
Cling onto those threads again...
