// Romaji //

If you don't see anything now the rest of your live,
[Ima   Nani mo mienai no nara isshou mienai]

Boukyaku no mizuumi ni   Tojikome

If you don't feel anything now, you can not touch, ever.
[Ima  Nani mo kanjinakereba isshou fureru koto wa deki nai]

Mizu no soko de nemuru hana wa   Yameru tsumi(ayamachi) wo idaki
Semari kuru kodou to

Arehateta hanazono   Toge o nakushi toki no naka de
Zonmei(ima) wa soko shirenu   Kurai kagami ni shikisai o
Egaku kokuu(sora) to anata e

Rira[1] no you ni   Kegarenaki kaori to   Wana ni ochiteiku
Naze soredemo   Tenshi ni narenai   Yokuseisareta toge o
Yuugen na yume wa shinjitsu to   Utakata no koi to yu(tato)eba


Hitsugi o tobari de ooi kakuseba   Tsuki se nu kutsuu ni idakare
Hime ya kani

Sasayaka na chitsujo   Motsureau meisou no naka de
Saigo (shi) wa mitasareta ai o   Hitsugi(hako) ni shiki tsumete
Seijaku(shijima) ni nemuru

Ten naru megami ni sugata o   Niseta doukeshi yo
Kanashiki ayatsuri ningyou   Doku ni mamire nagara
Sou rira[1] no you ni   Kegare naki kaori ni   Tsutsumare kuchi yuku
Soredemo tenshi no akushiki o   Utakata no hana to yu(tato)eba
 

*1 "rira" is a term composed by 2 kanji: 理(Ri, kotowari) & 裸(Ra, hadaka), meaning truth uncovered or naked reason, but "rira" is also the Japanese pronunciation for Lilac, the flower of the title ;).

// Kanji //

If you don't see anything now the rest of your live,
[今　何も見えないのなら一生見えない]

忘却の湖に　閉じ込め

If you don't feel anything now, you can not touch, ever.
[今　何も感じなければ一生触れる事は出来ない]

水の底で眠る華は　病める罪(あやまち)を抱き
迫り来る鼓動と

荒れ果てた花園　刺を無くし時の中で
存命(いま)は底知れぬ　暗い鏡に色彩を
描く　虚空(そら)と貴方へ

理裸の様に　穢れ無き薫りと　罠に堕ちて逝く
何故それでも　天使になれない　抑制された刺を
幽玄な夢は真実と　泡沫の恋と喩(たと)えば


柩を帳で覆い隠せば　尽きせぬ苦痛に抱かれ
秘めやかに

ささやかな秩序　もつれ合う瞑想の中で
最期(し)は充たされた愛を　柩(はこ)に敷き詰めて
静寂(しじま)に眠る

天なる女神に姿を　似せた道化師よ
哀しき操り人形　毒に塗れながら
そう理裸の様に　穢れ無き薫りに　包まれ朽ち逝く
それでも天使の悪しきを　泡沫の華と喩(たと)えば
