Translation Notes

↑ According to an online dictionary, it seems that the kanji used in the title has connotations of blindness and being unsure of where you’re going. So, kind of a literal and metaphorical darkness.
↑ 9世主, (lit. 9th Lord) is written, but しゅうきょう (shuukyou) and しんこう (shinkou) are sung on the first and second lines. The translation copies the last stanza, which uses the same sung words but has their corresponding kanji written down.
↑ こうしん (koushin – update) is sung in place of the English word UPDATE, and こころ (kokoro – heart) is sung in place of 感情 (kanjou – feelings).
