This is a character song from my favorite Dance With Devils character - Shiki. He's a depraved individual, but I love him for it. This song is likely my favorite out of all the DWD character themes, and it suits him quite well.
A note on "Alea iacta est" - it's a Latin phrase that's translated as "The die is cast." It's generally used to mean that things have passed a point of no return. It's funny because there's a Diabolik Lovers versus song I'm currently translating whose title is "Die is Cast." Must be popular among depraved boys.
白と黒の狭間、眠る揺籃(クレイドル)で
窓からの木漏れ日を憎んでた
耳触りが悪い 鎮魂歌(レクイエム)だけ
求め、茨の道、歩くのさ────………
Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!!
染まりかけた悪意に、そう恥じらいなど！！
炎の渦中(なか)で 焼かれるキミを
取り合う遊戯(ゲーム)は、もうすでに終わって
昏い眼光の末路(ゆくすえ)は、決して教えてはならない
望みを喪失(な)くし、討たれたボクが
信じた「遊戯(ゲーム)」も、すでに終わって
響いてる幻想(メロディ)は、合せた鏡の様
そんなキリエを Ah 愛して
歌う────………
頬を張れば見えた？ 醒めた「誘惑」なら
空の端、沈(しず)みかけた太陽さ
肌触りの良さは 天鵞絨(ヴェルヴェット)の様
薔薇の棘刺された痛みだね────………
Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!!
凍りついた善意に、そう躊躇いなど！！
煙に巻かれ、平伏す愛を
眺めて審判(ジャッジ)は、あの日に決まった
罪に歪んでる涙なら、決して乾きはしないから
来世を求め、蔑むふたり
厳しい「審判(ジャッジ)」を、天が降して
響いてる幻想(メロディ)は、合せた鏡の様
そんなキリエを Ah 愛して
歌う────………
Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!!
錆び付いてた総意を、そう裏切るのさ！！
炎の渦中(なか)で 焼かれるキミを
取り合う遊戯(ゲーム)は、もうすでに終わって
昏い眼光の末路(ゆくすえ)は、決して教えてはならない
望みを喪失(な)くし、討たれたボクが
信じた「遊戯(ゲーム)」も、すでに終わって
響いてる幻想(メロディ)は、合せた鏡の様
そんなキリエを Ah 愛して 歌う────………
壊す────……… 壊す────………
Ah「世界(すべて)」を、壊す────………
「………ゾクゾクするねぇ」
In between this black and white, asleep within a cradle
Hating the sunlight that pours in through the window
This detestable noise, little more than a requiem
And so as I wish, I'll take a walk along this thorny path...
Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!!
This malice deeply tainted before you, ah you hold such shame
Fighting for you as you're burned amidst the flames
But this game is already over
Never can I reveal to you this sorrowful judgment of your fate
Any hope you held for my defeat is gone
This "game" of ours has already ended
A resonating melody of illusions, as if reflected within a mirror
Such a Kyrie, ah, it's loved
Now sing...
Do you see something upon my face? This temptation has awakened
The sun has begun to sink deep into the sky
Like the texture of a luscious velvet
It's the painful prick of a thorn from a wild rose...
Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!!
Your virtuous mind has frozen, and now you hesitate
Gazing upon an elusive, revering love before you
This judgment was decided on that fateful day
And so never will I dry those tears, distorted by sin
Desirous of another world, the two of us are held in contempt
An unsparing judgment passed down from heaven
A resonating melody of illusions, as if reflected within a mirror
Such a Kyrie, ah, it's loved
Now sing...
Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!! Alea iacta est!!
Their harmony has crumbled, and now we shall betray them
Fighting for you as you're burned amidst the flames
But this game is already over
Never can I reveal to you this sorrowful judgment of your fate
Any hope you held for my defeat is gone
This "game" of ours has already ended
A resonating melody of illusions, as if reflected within a mirror
Such a Kyrie, ah, it's loved, now sing...
Destroy... destroy...
Ah, destroy it all...
"Thrilling, isn't it?"
