絶望 plantation [Zetsubou Plantation] [English translation]

If I have a smile on my face

Will the shadows of chaos overhang?

The moonlight will cleanse the taint of death

And nobody will know anything about eternity

With my irritated eyes I saw a flower dyed in vermilion and black

On an abandoned and obscure land

I observe life and death

Who surrenders, soothes and devours in turn to seduce us

A small bud who wavers, is faintly brittle

I don't know if it still can bloom

Despair plantation

The stars have returned to the edge of the pond

If sleeping buds breathe

I hid the temptation to smell the scent of the delicate petals

Suddenly my eyes start to freeze

Even if it breaks, fades or gets lost

I will continue to beautify and watch over it until the end

Its sparkling appearance makes me tremble when I want to touch it

It sends me messages and stings me

I welcome countless purposes

Despair Plantation

On this land as far as the eye can see

I will spend my life sowing

I observe life and death

Who surrenders, soothes and devours in turn to seduce us

A small bud who wavers, is faintly brittle

I don't know if it still can bloom

Despair plantation

If this place was full of flowers

It would turn into paradise

We would see the day and the night change

Our awakenings smothered by the scent
