-----
As the world sees yet another death
Retaining humanity seems even further-fetched
The man in the mirror has never looked this unfamiliar
The land of desperation is about to swallow me whole

The way of the hollow is the way into a deep descent
I am the bearer of the curse, and you my flame

Come and touch my bloodstain on the ground
You will see how I lived and how I died
Dark sign manifests annihination of my sanity
I had it all, lost it all and, then again, try to reclaim it all

The way of the hollow is the way into a deep descent
I am the bearer of the curse, and you my flame
Annihination of my sanity

The only path is the one I choose
Albeit bleak and narrow
Every breath in a tightnening noose
Every footstep to the gallows

These trails are hard to blaze
Doom is lurking around every corner
Walking through a crippling phase
I become one with disorder

The way of the hollow is the way into a deep descent
I am the bearer of the curse, and you my flame
(Bearer...seek...seek...lest...)

[日本語訳]
世界に幾度となく死が巡れば
人間性を保っていられなくなる
鏡に映る顔から面影は消え失せ
絶望の大地に呑まれる

亡者の歩む道は果てしなく深く暗く
呪いを纏う身に灯る君の火

土を濡らす血に触れれば
いかに生きて死んだかを見るだろう
暗い刻印が狂気をもたらし
全てを得て失いながらも再び手を伸ばす

亡者の歩む道は果てしなく深く暗く
呪いを纏う身に灯る君の火
正気が途絶える……

自らの選択だけが唯一の道
どんなに荒れ果てていようとも
息を吸う喉に縄が食い込み
進む先に滅びが待ち受けようとも

苦難に満ちたこの旅路
至る所に死の影が潜む
希望を折るような歩みを経て
心身は混沌と一体となる

亡者の歩む道は果てしなく深く暗く
呪いを纏う身に灯る君の火
（纏う者……求め……探しなさい……さもなくば……）
