Well this was a song i encountered when i watched a certain anime, UFO Princess Valkryie (trust me i was damnably bored). All in all it was a rather kiddish show, not something i would usually watch, but this song really struck a chord with me, so here it is now. It's a japanese song so i have taken the liberty of translating it (albeit rather loosely as my rudimentary command of the language is shabby at best). I think the original title was Princess of December but i have decided to call it Princess of the Moon as we all know that the Japanese language does not properly translate into English all the time (not to mention my crap command of japanese) and due to the fact that this name seemed more fitting for the lyrics. So without further ado:
"The Princess of the Moon"
A Princess sings at a black moon,
"Oh, illusive lover come with me into the night".
The two become the wind and travel among the stars,
Watching the scenery untill they awake from their dreams.
The two are the eyes of the heart.
The Princess thinks "Where is the Key?",
"Where is the key to lock this moment for eternity?".
The transient Princess sleeps at a black moon,
The illusive lover lives in the same shadow.
In reality they become memories and fade into the darkness.
The sadness of the now ending morning,
The parting couple are the death of the heart.
The Maiden commands, "Throw away the key",
"Throw away the key to the disappearing and transient shadow".
