In the darkness of the night
an invitation without an addressee's name arrives
Does that make you joyful? I'm sure it does~
Putting all my heart in the preparations,
swirling around to treat you to the very best
Because there won't be a turning back anymore,
I'm only waiting for you to bring your appetite
Shall we end this time of dreaming already?
Only sweet things won't satisfy me
Let's make this temptation seethe even more, Boy
It seems your childish prank went too far
right in front of my eyes~
In a dark forest
Bright eyes are hunting (for food)
You're licking your fangs (in expectation) of the DINNER you go for
Why is your filthy mouth stained red?
If you don't even have TABLE MANNERS,
I'll teach you some~
First, be ready for the APERITIF
Your MOOD is also important
But don't put all your strength in that
Next,
No matter how much you act like a real gentleman
showing off your well-behaved, well-behaved use of CUTLERY
Your sins are undeniable,
so I'm sprinkling the spice of retribution all over them
Shall we end this time of dreaming already?
Only sweet things won't satisfy me
Let's make this temptation seethe even more, boy
It seems your childish prank went too far
right in front of my eyes~

Are you MEDIUM RARE or WELL DONE ,(2)
or maybe already burnt to nothing but ashes?
I'll end all of your blunder by cooking it up~
It's too late for repentance now
God's son's WINE and BREAD you shamelessly stuff your mouth with
won't change anything
This night's party has already ended,
our time is running out, boy (3)
So please keep dancing with the flame in front of me
till your last breath~

The Pledge of the Sea and the Moon

A long time ago, we made a vow under the sun
with our hands at our chests
Back then, the sadness stirring up my childish heart pierced my lungs
A parent bird ascending into the sky together with my love, (1)
taking my breath away as it was swallowed by dark clouds (2)
Now, the world is flowing
The remains my body that slept at the bottom of the lake
rise to the surface
My heart turning into ice, drawn by a gentle lie
The deep blue sea calls out to my heart,
fully enchanted by the moon that knows the truth,
in a loud voice
Holding the remains of my dead body
that slept at the bottom of the lake,
up in your arms, you rise
Cold drops of water, warmer than everything else,
bring me back to life
Because even if i can't reach it,
I can always feel the light that shined on my skin long ago
you just want me to fullfill our promise

Black Swan

She follow me like a shadow always
The darkness hiding her bare skin,
Odile whispers in a sweet voice
The sound of rustling clothes,
shaking off the smell of incense
Even now, making plans to affect my sentiments
Scorched by flames
the remains of your body are burning
A dripping wet, licentious mouth
An enchantress luring me into illusions
Through the heat haze, I see a transient silhouette
Calamity, disguised as a fragrant young lady
I didn't take you, who was filled with darkness, to my wife
Snow white feathers dance deep down in my heart
My feelings for you swirl around in the wide sky
This love will never be fulfilled
With newfound strength, I push you aside
Still, the color of your wings is hidden in the clouds
Even so, those borders don't exist for you
I just don't want to loose you
Snow white feathers cover the bottom of the lake
Once again, wings spread from the scar on your back
Because my life is dedicated to you
I wish to continue living forever (1)
We made a vow to love one another
I became more able to resist temptation
The prosperity of endless deception
(1) literally: If I only could continue living endlessly.
I'm almost 99.99% sure that this song is a reference to the ballet "Swan Lake" by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
Just in case you don't know what it's about:
The enchanted princess Odette has to live as a swan in a lake and can only regain her human form at night. It is said that only eternal love can break the curse the evil Von Rothbart put on her.
However, one day Prince Siegfried watches her transforming back into the woman she is and they eventually fall in love. Finally he invites her to a Royal Ball in his castle but at sunrise, Odette has to return to her lake.
Later, Von Rothbart and his daughter Odile arrive at the Ball.
Odile, magically disguised as Odette, makes Siegfried declare his eternal love to her, breaking his vow to Odette, not able to hear her warning.
As he notices the deception, he begs Odette to forgive him, which she does but now she will never be freed from Rothbart's spell. The only way to be freed is to die, and because they can't live without each other anymore, they finally die together, throwing themselves in the lake.
Rothbart's spell is broken and together they ascend into heaven.
I guess Odette is the White Swan and Odile symbolises the Black Swan.

Basically, the song is about the vampire Justice, who wants to revive his father Dreizehn Schwarzschild, the 13th king of the vampires that couldn't die under the sunlight (->"Vampire Missa"), so he sealed his heart with a sword and hid the seal in a forest. Only the king's son could come near that place.
He knows that Schwarzschild could be revived on a night of a full moon and that in order to bring the king back to live, his own blood has to be shed. (revival of the king: ->"Schwarzschild", "Die letzte Nacht")
Together with the vampires of fire, wind, water/ice and earth he leads an army to strike an enemy invading his country.
And because a friend asked me: No, I'm not just randomly making up stuff here. Asagi really said that.
In the name of justice

This soul has the power to return to it's body when the time is ripe (1)
May the rusted sword that pierces through his heart
wake up from it's sleep
And he shall reborn with this blood of mine to live
Even if it seems like there is no end to this
everything will eventually face it's demise
We were born in various places of the earth
but now, we become one here
A life of majesty and meaning
There's not a single person who's useless (to me)
My gaze burns with passion
An unshakable bond
Thinking of our loved ones makes us grow closer together
The pain carved in our backs full of scars
may not be visible (to others), but we're able to share it
Everyone,however pray to God.
Fight against our own kind.
I have the right to have hope.
...If I can think so.
In the final night,
let's share all the dreams we can think of
Powerful, knightly pride
Let everyone know that only those who (have the strength)
to stand up for their own will shall keep going
Engulfed by radiant darkness, we're not saying anything
An evidence of the honor granted to us
This soul has the power to return to it's body when the time is ripe
May the rusted sword that pierces his heart
wake up from it's sleep
And he shall reborn with this blood of mine to live
The ground quakes by our treading
The sky is crying
In the name of justice
