EDIT 10/8/14: Corrected the annotation, and added notes to the description. Eighth song in Nostalgia for Nothingness. Cursed vampire samurai miko fighting invisible demon wolves in an alternate universe hell?! Oh Vocaloid, I love you. Subs in captions and annotation. I'm a whole week late with this one, sorry. I did this quick - expect the translation to possibly change in the next few days.

Note: "Endless cycle of life and death": The original word here was "rinne" or samsara, the buddhist cycle of death and reincarnation.

Zousei 93: In Japan, years can be referred to in two ways - their western names (2013 etc.) or a traditional way, divided into eras based named by the current emperor (For example, the current year - 2014 - would be called Heisei 26). These aren't named after the emperor, but are given special names inspired by big events or big goals for that era. (well, that's the best way I could sum that up.) More info: [ Ссылка ]

"Zousei" can mean "creation," "clearing," or "reclamation," but here, the kanji for sei is replaced with the kanji for "voice", so it sort of means "voice creation/clearing/reclamation" now... What this is saying is that this song takes place in the future (or an alternate timeline...) and the ruler has been ruling for quite a while... (93 years without the emperor dying or changing the name is pretty damn long)
