Mask of the Middle Ages “Viewfinder”
Translation by EJ
Viseur
Time is a spiritual war of sacrifices
Smashing through the walls of dawn’s fortress
Deep in the earth beneath that old castle
Is a man of darkness, wrapped in iron and flame
Viseur
Viseur
Mask of the Middle Ages
With alchemy burned into his skin
He will alchemize the world of phantoms
In the pale darkness of night, a spell of exorcism
Endurance experiments without number, spheres of glass
Viseur
Viseur
Mask of the Middle Ages - Viseur
A million candles, bricks of medicine
The sound of metal rings out, not knowing the time
Of fate and the heart and the full moon
To gaze at it would be to believe it
Viseur
Viseur
Mask of the Middle Ages
Launch! Send a darkness arrow!
Launch! Send a darkness arrow!
That mysterious thunder
That mysterious cruelty
That mysterious ruthlessness
There are none who know those mysteries
Vi, Vi, Viseur
Vi, Vi, Viseur
Vi, Vi, Viseur
Mask of the Middle Ages: “Visor”
Translation by Katie
Wiser
Time is a war of spiritual sacrifice.
The ramparts of dawn are being smashed apart.
Diving underground that old castle,
Wrapped in iron and flames, a person of darkness
Wiser
Wiser
Medieval mask
Emblazoned on the skin of the alchemist,
The phantom-figure’s world, (to) alchemize
A spell chanted in the dark blue night
An experiment of unmeasurable patience, the glass bulb
Wiser
Wiser
Medieval mask
A million candles, a medicinal brick
Destiny and spirit and the full moon
Not even knowing time, the metal brings resoundancy
That gaze stays fixed on its own beliefs.
Wiser
Wiser
Medieval mask
Launch! Send a darkness arrow!
Come, fire an arrow of darkness!
That mystery, lightning
That mystery, insensate
That mystery, brutal
That mystery, unknown
Wi, Wi, Wiser
Wi, Wi, Wiser
Wi, Wi, Wiser
Medieval Masked Man
Translation by Hiraku
Visor!!!
When the time has come for the sacrificial spiritual war
Dawn arrives as the fortress has been smashed to rubbles
Diving deep beneath the underground of that ancient castle
Enveloped in the iron of flames, is the man of darkness
Visor--
Visor--
Medieval Masked Man!!
Searing into the skin is the art of alchemy
Transmutation of metals in this world of illusory mankind
Chanting incantation into this pale, dark evening
Crystal ball subjected to countless endurance experimentation
Visor--
Visor--
Medieval Masked Man!! Visor!!
Million candles Apothecary workbench
Destiny of the heart of the full moon
Time can also tell the tinkling echos of the gold
All it takes is to seek within your conviction
Visor--
Visor--
Medieval Masked Man!!
Launch! Send a Darkness Arrow!
I shall release an arrow of darkness!
That enigma - Lightning
That enigma - Cruelty
That enigma - Absence
That enigma - Nothing there is to know
Vi-- Vi-- Vi-- Visor--
Vi-- Vi-- Vi-- Visor--
Vi-- Vi-- Vi-- Visor--

Translation Notes From EJ:

Viseur
A French word meaning “viewfinder.” The katakana word is a little ambiguous, but I believe “viseur” is a better fit for the pronunciation than the English “visor,” which has a different vowel sound in the first syllable and accordingly is usually written バイザー (baizaa) in Japanese.
