Stupid dear birds... 
Can we change it yo "silly"? It's a more affectionate term, going better with "dear".

Lyrics post above updated with translation and transliteration
it was exhausting
This song is inspired by the Argonaufts myth, the part where they passed from the Sirens island.
Argo = Their ship, after which they got their name. The ship itself got its name from its maker.
I may do one more later but its not for sure. If not I will continue tomorrow ^^

Re:
I'll try both types, but I do prefer anime/game songs.
I'll definitely report back on what I like. :D

I'll definitely report back on what I like. :D

In this post there are translations of:
- #7 Hymen
- #8 Euridiki － Μοναδική αγάπη －
- #9 Gekijou - Άδης - (greek parts)
#7 Hymen
Hey ninetales, here viewtopic.php?p=142117#p142117 by hyumen, did you meant hymen, because I cant find any translation of hyumen @_@ ?
Well since the booklet says hymen I guess that's the right one.
#8 Euridiki － Μοναδική αγάπη －
#9 Gekijou - Άδης - (greek parts)
If I remember well, in ancient greek mythology Hades was not only the God of the Dead but also the location (below the earth) where the dead people's soul where going.

# 13 英雄葬 -Eiyuu hafuri
Last song with greek lyrics :D. Enjoy :) Now we only need the japanese romaji translation of the songs.
This song is inspired by the ancient greek epitaphs. After each battle the fighting armies were gathering each own's dead bodies and were burring them while making speeches exalting their achievements and connecting them with the gods and the city-state's history and future. The most popular of these speeches is Perikli's Epitaph. More information here http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/Funeral_ora ... _Greece%29 and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericles%2 ... al_Oration.
Oh and this song has the best spoken greek out of all the album.
I will later post a link to all the translation files as well as some guidelines on how to read the greek text.

Thanks for all the work.
Checked out tracks 1-10 so far. I love the bagpipes in Thrylos.
Siren is decidedly my fave - besides the soft spot I have for upbeat pop/classic blends, the arrangement, with all its changes in tempo, key and style, has a strong Mike Oldfield flavour to it.
Tracks 9 and 10 - especially the latter - were surprising, I didn't expect such styles to accompany Greek mythology. 
Overall, from this year, my Akiko top 3 is definitely Byakumu no Mayu, Utsusemi and Siren.
Btw, her birthday is due this Saturday!
she was born on the Orthodox Christmas day

I recommend this instead of that Thanatos :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjgIEhNTftQ
I think it's my favorite Sound Horizon track (unfortunately it's only a live arrange 'sequel' to Thanatos) but it probably should go in the Sound Horizon thread. Delicious REMI. XD

I should edit all tags to romaji, too.
Thanks for SH samples, George, Grunty, they sound very interesting. I'll make sure to make myself more acquainted with the band.

So Here are the greek text reading guidelines. They might not be 100% accurate since I dont know phonetics so I cant fully explain you how some letters are pronounced, but I'll try :)
The modern greek alphabet has 24 letters these are
A,α (Άλφα, Alpha), B,β (Βήτα, Beta), Γ,γ (Γάμα, Gamma), Δ,δ (Δέλτα, Delta), E,ε (Έψιλον, Epsilon), Z,ζ (Ζήτα, Zeta), H,η (Ήτα, Hita), Θ,θ (Θήτα, Thita), I,ι, (Γιότα or Iότα, Yota), K,κ (Κάπα, Kappa), Λ,λ (Λάμδα, Lamda), M,μ (Mι, Mi), Ν,ν (Νι, Νι), Ξ,ξ (Ξι, Xi), Ο,ο (Όμικρον, Omicron [literally "small O"]), Π,π (Πι, Pi) Ρ,ρ (Ρο, Ro), Σ,σ (Σίγμα, Signa), T,τ (Ταφ, Taf), Y,υ (Ύψιλον, Ipsilon), Φ,φ (Φι, Phi), X,χ (Xι, He), Ψ,ψ (Ψι, Psi), Ω,ω (Ωμέγα, Omega [literally "big O"].
Vowels: A, E, H, I, O, Y, Ω
Consonants all the rest: Β, Γ, Δ, Ζ, Θ, Κ, Λ, Μ, Ν, Π, Ρ, Σ, Τ, Φ, Ψ
Now in pronunciation A is obvious, its like that "a" in "alpha", B is like the "V" in "vita", Γ is kinda difficult, its like the "Y" (the english one) in "Ya" but without the "a", Δ is like the "Th" in the words "this" or "that", E is like the "e" in "Epsilon", Z same as in english, H, I are like "the "i" in "Epsilon", Θ is like the "Th" in words like threater or thisaurus, K is like the "K" in "Kappa", Λ, Μ, Ν are same as in english, Ξ is like the enlish X (eg: Xenophone), O is like the "o" in "Omicron", Π is like the english P or like in the words "Pythagoras and "I want to pee", the greek Ρ is like the english R, Σ is like S in "Synthesis, or Syndicate", T is like the english one, Φ is like the english "Ph", Ψ is like the "Ps" in psychology, and Ω is like the omicron.
We also got "ς" which is called "Ending Σ" and is met always at the end of words. Its is pronounced just like Σ.
Apart from these that are some letter combinations you should remember when reading greek.
When A is followed by I (αι) is read like E
When E or O is followed by I (ει) (οι) are respectively read "I"
When A is followed by Y (αυ) is read αβ (Av)
When E is followed by Y is read Eφ (Εf)
When O followed by Y (Oυ) is read U
So we get
αι = ε,
ει, οι = ι
αυ = αβ
ευ = εφ
ου = u
Also
M + Π = Β (english one)
T + Z = J
N + T = either nt or D
Γ + Κ (ΓΚ) / double Γ (ΓΓ) = G
Σ + Μ = Ζ
And to finish this, in greek there are 3 genders of words, masculine, feminine, and neutral.
I hope I didnt forgot anything, and that this will help you :)
Oh and here's the archive I promised you, I have included these guidelines too ?2jaa7bcd6vdkapx
