Don’t start posting lyrics. You’ll start to succumb to the pressure to keep posting lyrics and then you’ll just be a weird lyrics site and not everybody has translated lyrics and you’ll look like a doofus and don’t post lyrics you’re j
Do you ever sit around, listening to idols sing, and wonder what they’re actually singing about? Of course you do. It’s very unlikely that you’d be looking at this site if you didn’t. Well, add TWO more resources to your list (or three, I guess?), as Necronomidol‘s lyrics are beginning to make their way online in a way that people who can’t read Japanese scripts will find accessible, even literate!
Via the official Facebook page, “Vulture”:
A blizzard of cremains
The dead are blindCrimson sky at night
Sinking into bloodUpon a steel earth
Mountains of bleached bonesCaged in by tombstones
Brutality enduresA black wind blows (Take flight)
Harbinger of doom (Ascend)
One after another (Take flight)
The curtain falls (Ascend)Cold fingers entwine (Take flight)
Around your neck (Ascend)
Everything slowly fades (Take flight)
To pitch blackness (Ascend)The red, red, red light (Vulture)
Shines, shines, shines upon me (Soaring overhead)
My soul, soul, soul sinking down (Vulture)
Into the, into the, into the ultimate void (Soaring overhead)A blizzard of cremains
The dead are blindCrimson sky at night
Sinking into bloodA black wind blows (Take flight)
Harbinger of doom (Ascend)
One after another (Take flight)
The curtain falls (Ascend)Cold fingers entwine (Take flight)
Around your neck (Ascend)
Everything slowly fades (Take flight)
To pitch blackness (Ascend)The red, red, red light (Vulture)
Shines, shines, shines upon me (Soaring overhead)
My soul, soul, soul sinking down (Vulture)
Into the, into the, into the ultimate void (Soaring overhead)A cracked skull
The scent of corpsesThe shadow on the battlefield
The sweet taste of rotInto the darkness
The light of the Other SideThe red, red, red light (Your doom, Your despair)
Shines, shines, shines upon me (Our destiny, Our nourishment)
My soul, soul, soul sinking down (Your doom, Your despair)
Into the, into the, into the ultimate void (Our destiny, Our nourishment)A blizzard of cremains
The dead are blind
And via the fan subreddit, here’s a thread dedicated to collecting Romaji renderings of the Japanese lyrics. For instance, “Ankoku Shoujo Sentai”:

I’ll try to keep up with this and make this a master post or something. If you happen to be a speaker of or learning Japanese and you’d like to contribute lyrics work, you can submit to the sub or email the boss. We’ll make sure that everything winds up in the right place.
