Can anyone translate this song: Midnight Illusion from Ai no Kusabi
into English? I've been looking for months, literally. Thanks so much!

(Anime) Ai no Kusabi: Midnight-Illusion (N/A)
Opening Song
Toki no hazama ni ochiteiku
hane wo mogareta Shangri-la
yume no kakera karamitsuku
iki mo tsukenai kono mune ni
sakebu dake no Midnight
kasureta aegi ga Endless
tsukamenai kokoro Hard,Lonely
mabuta ni kizande
moreru toiki ga Heat and Cool
hitori ame ni nureru
kokoro to karada hikichigiru
nemurenu yoru no Monologue
mimi ni nokoru koe dake ga
atsui kodou shimetsukeru
tameikibukai Darkness
yuretekuzureru Shadow-moon
koe wo koroshite Irony,Spiral
todokanai omoi
yami wo kirisaku Midnight-illusion
hitori tachisukumu
sakebu dake no Midnight
kasureta aegi ga Endless
tsukamenai kokoro Hard, lonely
mabuta ni kizande
moreru toiki ga Heat and Cool
hitori ame ni nureru
koe wo koroshite Irony, Spiral
todokanai omoi
yami wo kirisaku Midnight-illusion
hitori tachisukumu

Normally I would never do this, but as you seem to have at least tried, you provided the text, I have a little time in my hands, and its relatively short, I'll see what I can do.

Shackles of Love: Midnight-Illusion

Falling down a gap in time
Shagri-la robbed of wings
Entangling pieces of a dream
To this chest that can't even breathe
All I can do is shout, this Midnight
The hoarse panting is Endless
Ungraspable heart, Hard, Lonley
Etched into my eyelids
Time spilling is Heat and Cool
Drenched in the rain by myself
Tearing apart my soul and body
A Monologue for a sleepless night
Only the voice that remains in my ears
show me a fiery heartbeat
A Darkness deep with sighs
Shadow-moon bobs and crumbles away
I bite back my voice, Irony, Spiral
This feeling that cannot reach you
shredding the darkness Midnight-illusion
Alone, I am unable to move
All I can do is shout, this Midnight
The hoarse panting is Endless
Ungraspable heart, Hard, Lonley
Etched into my eyelids
Time spilling is Heat and Cool
Drenched in the rain by myself
I bite back my voice, Irony, Spiral
This feeling that cannot reach you
shredding the darkness Midnight-illusion
Alone, I am unable to move

[[I know some parts of it doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's how it is in the original language. I did put some thought into it, and didn't run it past a translating program or whatnot, even if it looks like I did D: ]]

Thank you so very much!!!! I can see why you say parts are confusing, but that's fine. Will spend time fiddling with it. I know what you mean by not running it through a translator. Those compound words just won't cooperate. Even knowing this is a love song, the thought processes are still very difficult to understand.

You''re a wonderful person! Again, my heartfelt thanks. *bows*
