Boy, do I love this song. In the end, I decided to come back in style with memoire (BUT voyage, uruwashiki kamen no shotaijō and ma cherie are staring at me from my shelf as I type, kicking my feet). I also tried a dark background, hoping you can see the gothic stained glass window in the back, and I pointed out the lyrics switcharoos in brackets only in the romaji section; this is because it's mostly repetitions that are unwritten, so the meaning doesn't really change. I also tried to maintain the original spacing of lyrics in the printed booklet, because I feel like everything is there for a reason. Anyway, thank you forever Mother Tetsu (please come back) and enjoy!

記憶と空

(music: Mana / lyrics: Tetsu)

「視線の風は僕の額に穴を開けたまま
　　　　　　　この世界にずっと吹き荒れる」

「erase all with only light, leave me without delight.
　　　　　　　人は無名のまま　皆消えて行く…」

「わめき　すすり泣き　あえぐ声　それらを遮る様に
　　　　　　　押しつつみ広がる　silence…」

「初めて死を意識したあの幼い日を思いながら
　　　　　　　光を避けた僕は一人怯えた部屋に取り憑かれている」

「世界から全ての色が　無くなる日を…」

「君との再会の時　殺したいと思うだろうか?
　　　　　　　抱きたいと想うだろうか?」

「抱きしめた記憶と空　　言葉より気持ちより目の前のあなただけ
　　　　　　　懐かしい記憶と今　眼が眩む　足が竦む　骨が軋む　骨が震える」

Kioku to sora

"Shisen no kaze wa boku no hitai ni ana wo　[ana wo]　aketa mama
[Shisen no kaze wa]　kono sekai ni zutto　[zutto]　fukiareru"

"erase all with only light,　hito wa mumei no mama 
 leave me without delight,　mina kieteiku..." *

"Wameki　susurinaki　aegu koe　sorera wo saegiru you ni
　　　　　　　oshitsutsumu hirogaru silence…[silence, mad silence]"

["erase all with only light,　hito wa mumei no mama
leave me without delight,　mina kieteiku..."]

"Hajimete shi wo ishiki shita ano osanai hi wo omoinagara
　　　　　　　hikari wo saketa boku wa hitori obieta heya ni toritsukareteiru"

"Sekai kara subete no iro ga　 naku naru hi wo…"

"Kimi to no saikai no toki　koroshitai to omou darouka?
　　　　　　　Idakitai to omou darouka?"

["erase all with only light,　hito wa mumei no mama
leave me without delight,　mina kieteiku..."

"Hajimete shi wo ishiki shita ano osanai hi wo omoinagara
　　　　　　　hikari wo saketa boku wa hitori obieta heya ni toritsukareteiru"

"Sekai kara subete no iro ga　 naku naru hi wo…"]

"Dakishimeta kioku to sora　　kotoba yori kimochi yori me no mae no anata dake
　　　　　　　Natsukashii kioku to ima　me ga kuramu　ashi ga sukumu　hone ga
　　　　　　　kishimu　 hone ga furueru"

* The order is different in sung lyrics! 

Memories and sky

"The wind of your gaze has pierced a hole through my forehead 
　　　　　　　and continues to sweep over the world."

"Erase all with only light, leave me without delight.
　　　　　　　People are left nameless… Everyone disappears… "

"Screams, sobs, panting voices… As to interrupt them
　　　　　　　silence spreads, enveloping them…"

"While I recall the day when, as a child, I first became aware of death 
　　　　　　　I am alone with the light blocked out, possessed by my haunting room."

"The day when… all the colors disappear from the world…"

"When I meet you again… Will you want to kill me?
　　　　　　　Will you want to hold me?"

"The memories and sky I embraced… More than words, more than feelings, only you before my
　　　　　　　eyes.
Nostalgic memories, and now… my eyes are dazzled, my legs are paralyzed, my bones creak, my
　　　　　　　bones shiver."

So first off, I think the lyrics to this song are very interesting. It is quite clear that these are all quotes and pieces of conversation from these 'memories' tied together by the (fantastic) last verse, so there are different nuances and emotions that make this song one of my favourites of theirs. 

I thought about the "I am alone possessed by my haunting room" for a while because in the way it's worded, it almost seems like the room itself is 'frightened', but I interpreted it as "the room I am/was frightened by". Also, a more accurate translation to "hikari wo saketa" would be "I avoided the light". I chose "with the light blocked out" because I think it fits better in the sentence and sort of describes the miserable condition our vampire finds himself in, stuck in his dark room. I wonder if they risk turning into glitter if exposed to light like on Twilight or if that's out of the lore,
