Lyrics

I walk the ash of cities where lanterns never die
(灯が消えない街の灰の上を私は歩く)
Prints etch the ledger of a night that will not lie
(痕跡が偽りのない夜の台帳に刻まれる)
Glass eyes watch the passing of a thousand empty vows
(硝子の眼が千の空虚な誓いの移ろいを見守る)
We trade our names for fragments and fold the sky around
(我らは名を断片と取り替え、空を折りたたみ包む)

A whisper pulls the seam of dawn
(囁きが夜明けの綻びを引き寄せる)
A thread of heat beneath the frost
(霜の下に残る一筋の熱)

Requiem for the broken road we bear
(我らが背負う荒廃した道への鎮魂歌)
Raise the ember voice that will not yield
(屈せぬ残火の声を高らかにあげよ)
Through iron rain and silent gates we swear
(鉄の雨と沈黙の門をくぐり 我らは誓う)
To carry every fallen name to field
(倒れた者の名をすべて野へ運ぶために)

Bridges hang on memory like cobwebs of old light
(橋は記憶にぶら下がる 古き光の蜘蛛の巣のように)
Shadows hand me keys that hum with salted light
(影が塩を帯びた光で唸る鍵を私に差し出す)
We build a fragile cathedral of borrowed bones and speech
(借りた骨と語りで脆い大聖堂を築く)
Every breath a candle kept against the reaching breach
(ひとつひとつの息が迫る裂け目に抗う灯火となる)

The gears remember how to turn
(歯車は回る術を覚えている)
Even ruins keep a rhythm for the living to learn
(廃墟でさえ生きる者に教える律動を保つ)

Requiem for the broken road we bear
(我らが背負う荒廃した道への鎮魂歌)
Lift the lantern high and set the dark aflame
(ランタンを高く掲げ 闇を炎に変えよ)
From ash and iron let a chorus fill the air
(灰と鉄から合唱を空へ満たせ)
We walk as one and speak the ancient name
(我らはひとつとなり 古の名を口にする)

Prompt

Requiem Style prompt A cinematic melodic metal requiem at 180-190 BPM. Combine crushing rhythmic guitars and precise double bass with warm orchestral strings and brass swells. Lead guitar and solo violin trade motifs and deliver harmonized neoclassical solos that answer vocal phrases. Open with bell and sparse piano motif to set the mood then build dynamics into intimate verses and explosive choruses. Vocals alternate feral growls and soaring clean leads with layered SATB backing in the chorus to maximize singalong potential. Use choir pads sparingly for climaxes and short tight reverbs on fast parts with lush long tails in the finale. Keep drums punchy with parallel compression and tight transient control and carve space in the mids to let vocals and leads breathe. Master for clarity and dynamic impact avoid overcompression and preserve transient attack. End with a brief instrumental coda where violin echoes the main theme as bells fade into silence. Emphasize catchy hooks and pacing.
