I can converse in Japanese with a little bit of skill (mostly business),
but there are still a lot of words I don't know. Can someone help me in
translating these lyrics from "Vampire Princess Miyu" & "The Hakkenden"?
This is the LITERAL translation from what I know.

The question marks mean that I don't recognize that word or the context in
which it is being used. If anyone could fill in these space with the
literal word and (if necessary) the general idea that is being made, it
would help to teach me, and allow me to appreciate the music more.

Thanks!
