Shi No Barado translates into English as Ballad of Death. The clues are there, even if Area 11 song-writer and lead singer Sparkles hadn't already stated that this is a love song inspired by Death Note.
Sparkles dresses and sings as Kira. The track features Beckii Cruel as Misa, as the couple perform Shi No Barado as an extremely dark duet disguised under quite light music.

Lyrics include such mega hints as this:
Cause baby when our eyes met
I could never look away
You’re all I ever wanted
There’s nothing left to say
Cause baby you can use me
I will do what you want me to
And baby you can kill me
When I’m no use to you
I could never look away
You’re all I ever wanted
There’s nothing left to say
Cause baby you can use me
I will do what you want me to
And baby you can kill me
When I’m no use to you
and
I won’t give up on this perfect love
Even when my memories fail me
(Even when my memories fail me)
Cause I see you through burning eyes
Even when my memories fail me
(Even when my memories fail me)
Cause I see you through burning eyes
Area 11 is a group from Bristol, England. Most of their songs are based on anime, which makes them pretty much a house band in these parts!
