Ankoku no Menorah (暗黒のメノラー)

Ankoku no Menorah (Dark Menorah) is a song from the Sailor Moon musicals. In its original appearance in "Shin Kaguya Shima Densetsu", it is in fact the first half of the song "Ankoku no Menorah ~ Yume wo Kaimasu Shima no Tabi". However it becomes simply 'Ankoku no Menorah' in the kaiteiban, the 'Yume wo Kaimasu Shima no Tabi' part of the song is dropped and is replaced with 'Ai Yori Houseki Kaguya Shima'. They appear as one song on the matching Memorial Album. It is performed by Dark Menorah as she announces her plans to trap the Sailor Senshi.

Japanese

わたしの朝は夜より暗い
怨み重なる銀の水晶
仕留めたら　即　暗黒にする
わたしの夢は　そう　闇より暗い

何も知らない星たちまとめて
戦士と　一緒に　狙い撃ち
闇の追込むなんて
あの　お姫様にしてみたら

怖い　こわーい　出来事ね

Romanised

Watashi no asa wa yoru yori kurai
Urami kasanaru gin no suishou
Shitometara soku ankoku ni suru
Watashi no yume wa sou yami yori kurai

Nanimo shiranai hoshi-tachi matomete
Senshi to issho ni nerai uchi
Yami no oikomu nante
Ano o-hime-sama ni shite mitara

Kowai kowa-i dekigoto ne

English Translation

My morning is darker than the night
With my bitterness piled up on a silver crystal
As soon as I shoot it down, I'll turn it into darkness
My dream, that's right, is darker than the darkness

I'll put those unsuspecting stars in their place
With the senshi together, I'll take aim and fire
The pursuing darkness
I'll try it on that Princess

This affair is frightening, it's frightening, isn't it
