ALI PROJECT most recent

first song that lead me to looked up was

Kneel down and lick! And with the same tongue twisted around my red fingernail call me your queen.
The sun flourish in Hell and
the dark falls over Paradise
dazzles or despair
which one would be the hardest?

Roses, roses coming from within my head
Get spread thoroughly, Paaramitaa

And also the opened wound that's kept hidden from the sight
and the unceasingly dropping blood

To exist a beautiful tribute that conquers the heart
Such love is what you need to seek!
Till when men are going to be such thoughtless kids!

Kneel down and lick my blessed feet!! And with that grazed throat of yours call me your queen
to proof that you are alive, to the pagoda of soaring pain crawl and climb, feebly
and yet, if you have something to ask

If you dare to bring out my frozen tears
that moan could be your last

And lust, and the sadist eye
and the humilliation that was pressing you down
and sadly looking at a valley of ecstasy
the reflection of happiness

An explosion from the core of my body
the summit, no escape

The fragility of spider's threads
that connect and decieve to the maximum

The unbelievable is already nothing, and for it not to be that way
I can't believe that it is love what you need to distrust!
Till when are women going to be stupid living things!

Kneel down and offer yourself! You'll become eternal
with that thirsty throat of yours call me your mother.

To prove that your are alive, the sound of the bending whip
count, and pull it tighter, and fear
and if you have something to ask

The jewel smeared with this dirt called pureness
With this hand, I could throw it out.

Lie down and ask! With that sweet tongue of yours
with that nice voice,
sing my bird and call me your beloved sister

Kneel down and lick my blessed feet
!! And with that grazed throat of yours call me your queen
to proof that you are alive, to the pagoda of soaring pain
crawl and climb, feebly
and yet, if you start to fall in love

What unties my frozen heart
will be again, your awaken eye.

There's only one Asian song that I've listened to (and liked).

Teen Titans Theme (Extended Japanese Version) - Puffy Ami Yumi (their only good song)

Edit:

I take that back, Crazy by Se7en isn't that bad.
