So I just finished translating this song, and it was SUPER hard, as far as I was concerned. I'd really appreciate any feedback on this.

My translation:

"All is calm, all is bright"
Whispers the angel, not long before falling down to the ground.
I then gently devour you whole;
It's my guilty..!

As I open up my eyes,
The last thing I know,
I'm in this dim blue concrete.
Coldly,
Call my name and give me a kiss
Then take me in your embrace,
With this empty shell of a body of yours.

This life you hurled out of your throat,
Still takes on a shape of some sort.
I catch a glimpse of brilliant red eternity,
And it bursts into song right next to me.
What was I born for?
Hey, spare me some love.
'Cause I'm not letting go of you.

Hello mmmmmyyyyy name iiiiiiiisssss--

I take a sip, but it never quenches
This burning thirst inside.
These hands of mine poke fun at me,
Staining me in scarlet-red.

Before long,
I was immune to all sounds.
So I erased the sound of my breathing,
Upon the sight of your teary eyes.
Call my name and give me a kiss
Can I still bring you back,
When even the scent of blood left your body?

I crushed this peeled off glass,
And swallowed it, dripping down.
I catch a glimpse of brilliant eternity,
And it bursts into song right next to me.
What was I born for?
Hey, does that mean you'll love me?

The more it calls out to me,
I give in
To my responsive instincts.
Call my name and give me a kiss
Then take me in your embrace,
With this empty shell of a body of yours.

Love me 'till I'm nothing but fragments.
This life you hurled out of your throat,
Still takes on a shape of some sort.
I catch a glimpse of brilliant red eternity,
And it bursts into song right next to me.
What was I born for?
Hey, keep on loving me
'Till I'm satisfied.
'Till
There's nothing left of me.

I'd say the whole thing looks pretty good, though I'd debate 'in this cold blue concrete', since it doesn't decisively say 「に」 or anything - so doesn't 'on' or something seem more probable?

Yup, I totally agree. I actually had some second thoughts regarding this one. Thanks for the feedback.
