(aaaah one of my favorite gackt songs! I've been waiting for a good shot of dracula just so I could make this, but I found some nice clear images of him on sakamoto's twitter instead so god bless.. he's so beautiful..)

Unfortunately the actual spoken lyrics of this song seem to have not been released, and so I went combing through the "Interview with the Vampire" script to figure out the actual lines.

For the parts that aren't from the script, I was able to find this interpretation by Madame Tarantula, please check out their blog!

* Other parts are difficult to discern, like the part at 2:54, so I put the official lyrics for that part and marked them with * since it doesn't match what's actually being sung.
I welcome any guesses in the comments if anyone has any idea what those lyrics are~

Lyrics from video:

I couldn't bear the pain of their loss
I longed to be released from it, and I invited it
Released from the pain of the living, and so I'm falling deeply
Just want to be for all time

As I listen to your heartbeat with this hand of mine
I find peace of mind as your sighs fall silent

Drink from me and live forever
To grasp ahold of a new everlasting world
Drink from me and live forever
-In order to grasp that world. Your murmurs...
Drink from me and live forever
To grasp ahold of a new everlasting world
Drink from me and live forever
All of the things you murmur are meaningless

I said farewell to sunlight
And set out to become what I became
And when I wake, I'll look for the... beauty
I’m weeping by you, with you... beautiful night

This song, my beloved
* It has been so long since I heard it *
* She abandoned me here all alone *
* Once more, let me hear her voice... once more... *

Once felt, the lure of eternity draws deeply
Even now, forever, it entices with sweet kisses

Drink from me and live forever
To grasp ahold of a new everlasting world
Drink from me and live forever
-In order to grasp that world. Your murmurs...
Drink from me and live forever
To grasp ahold of a new everlasting world
Drink from me and live forever
All of the things you murmur are meaningless

Drink from me and live forever
Drink from me and live forever
Drink from me and live forever
Drink from me and live forever
