While we're on this subject...Does anyone have the words like Gackt would say them (Katakana maybe) for the English parts of ILLUMINATI?

Example:

"Magical or Merriment communion with Nimrod".

You mean this bit?

"CALL BACK]
I'm sunk in the abysmal swamp
[BORN AGAIN]
Where there is no foothold
[GROVE]
I have reached the watery depths
[WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?]
Distorted face!"

Aren't there a billion threads on commonly misheard lyrics already?

There are several web sites like geocities and freewebs that have translated this stuff. That's how I find out text translations, if i don't get my pal xD

Personally, I translate "Uruwashiki kamen no shotaijou" as "Invitation to the Masquerade"
But of course the joy of Japanese is a lot of words/concepts don't have exact translations into English, so when translating you have to decide whether you're going to carry over every single word and get something that's accurate but probably clunky and unnatural sounding, or try and streamline/expand to get something that flows better in the language you are translating into, but risk missing stuff out.

It's all about da compromise! ^_^
