One of my favourite Akatsuki Records’ songs. An amazing piece with lots of intricacies, references and a solid, legendary undertone. Thanks a lot to NaokiP and Tsubasa Cat for their help.

暗闇に生まれ　赤い瞳炎宿し
そこに映るのは太陽
神をも焼く深淵の太陽

空、続く路知る黒烏1
今、地にいずるTotal eclipse of the sun

Born from shadows, a red eye harbouring flames,
Upon it reflects a sun, an abyssal one that burns even the gods
O dark raven1, thee who knows the way to the skies,
Take off from this Earth for a total eclipse of the sun

ATOMICA TOKAMAK　弧を描いて走るプラズマ
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　赤く赤く胸に秘めたInner core
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　九つ射て堕ちた烏が
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　その身燃やし再び陽となる

ATOMICA TOKAMAK, a burst of plasma draws an arc
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, a crimson red inner core concealed within its chest
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, nine felled crows fell from the skies
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, and their bodies, set alight, shall become suns once more

たった一つだけ残して
落星の欠片は地底へ
マントルに眠る火輪は地底へ
やがて光を求めて

空、続く路知る黒烏
今、地を抜けるTotal eclipse of the sun

With only one remaining, the husk of this fallen star hides beneath the earth,
A sleeping ring of fire in the mantle begging for light by and by
O dark raven, thee who knows the way to the skies,
Split this Earth for a total eclipse of the sun

ATOMICA TOKAMAK　弧を描いて走るプラズマ
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　赤く赤く胸に秘めたInner core
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　九つ射て堕ちた烏が
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　その身燃やし再び陽となる

ATOMICA TOKAMAK, a burst of plasma draws an arc
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, a crimson red inner core concealed within its chest
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, nine felled crows fell from the skies
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, and their bodies, set alight, shall become suns once more

闇、十日が昇り　三足烏の影に

Out from the dark, ten suns rise once more—In the shadow of the three-legged raven

ATOMICA TOKAMAK　弧を描いて走るプラズマ
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　赤く赤く胸に秘めたInner core
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　矢に射られて堕ちた烏が
ATOMICA TOKAMAK　神を宿し滅びの陽となる時

ATOMICA TOKAMAK, a burst of plasma draws an arc
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, a crimson red inner core concealed within its chest
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, struck by the arrow, the crow fell
ATOMICA TOKAMAK, and, harbouring a god, shall become a sun of destruction

  1. 黒烏 (kokuu, black crow) works as the contrapositive of 金烏 (kin'u, golden crow), the latter being used in ancient times to refer to the sun and, by extension, the three-legged crow. An amazing subtlety skilfully caught by Naoki. ↩ ↩2
