Yomigaere! Mukyuu no rekishi [chuusei] yo
Revive! The Immortal medieval history
From: "Revolutionary Girl Utena Apocalypse of Adolescence:
Original Soundtrack Adolescence Rush"
[These full lyrics given in the CD booklet are very, very long.
Both the CD version and the movie version are abridged.]
Creation of Existence
Mysterious Pleasure
Clockwork Apparatus
Holy decadence
Unfinished history
Nitrate (?) apparatus
[Shoubin: compound of 'nitrate' and 'vial/bottle.' Unable to find in any
dictionary. Alternately, perhaps, 'glass vial'; the first kanji is used
in the compound for 'glass.']
Believing in the eternal miracles,
I tested the everlasting gods,
Ah, immortal medieval history,
Revive in me
Creation of life
Magicians of alchemy
Steam apparatus
Possessed people
Magicians of electricity
Lightning apparatus
How do you play the magical phrases
On the hundred-stringed harp
That measure out the beating of the secret demon's heart
Ah, immortal medieval history,
Revive in me
Make all of myself medieval
Scholarly abstractions
Make all of myself medieval
Atrophied ideas
Make all of myself medieval
Books of ill omens
Make all of myself medieval
Mental magic
Metal fetuses
Sacred experiments
The Eve of the future
Distillers of breath
Decomposing life
Bottles for stored embryos
Make all of myself medieval
Madness and foolishness
Make all of myself medieval
Astrological medicine
Make all of myself medieval
False death
Make all of myself medieval
Optical antidote
Shocking experiments
Painful experiments
Cruel experiments
Experiments that make you faint with pain
Gunpowder experiments
Eyeball experiments
Torturous experiments
Merciless experiments
History of passion
History of cynicism
Epileptic history
Convulsing history
Ah, revive,
Immortal medieval history,
"In my soul,
In my mind,
In my body"
Ah, revive,
Immortal medieval history,
"In my eyes,
In my hands,
In my blood and breath"
Revive! Immortal
Revive! Historic
Revive! Revive!
"Medieval," that which encompasses all of time!
Chambers! Clothes!
