Lyrics

Salt wind tastes of iron and old oaths
(潮風は鉄の匂いと古き誓いの味を帯びて吹く)
Shadows fold like paper over rimmed helmets
(影は縁取りされた兜の上で紙のように折り畳まれる)
A horse exhales moonlight into the hollow road
(馬の吐息が月光となって虚ろな道へ注ぐ)
Hands that once signed names now weigh the night
(かつて名を刻んだ手は今や夜の重みを抱く)

鶴は羽を震わせ
(The crane trembles its wings)
旗だけが静かに歌う
(Only the banner sings, quietly)

旗影は泥に滲み 消えゆく
(Banner shadows bleed into the mud and fade away)
骸は砂に溶ける
(Bodies melt into the sand)
誰がために戦うのか
(For whom do we take up arms)
忠と恨の跡が残る
(Traces of fealty and grudge remain)

Lantern smoke unthreads the corridor of ranks
(列の廊を提灯の煙が糸を解くように漂う)
Steel remembers the soft print of a palm
(鋼は掌の柔らかな痕を記憶する)
Echoes count the steps behind each bowed crest
(こだまが垂れた兜の背に残る足音を数える)
Names like pebbles sink slow into the tide
(名は小石のように潮にゆっくりと沈んでゆく)

土に零れる涙
(Tears spill and sink into the earth)
月が刃に映る
(The moon is reflected on the blade)

旗影は泥に滲み 消えゆく
(Banner shadows bleed into the mud and fade away)
骸は砂に溶ける
(Bodies melt into the sand)
誰がために戦うのか
(For whom do we take up arms)
刃と歌が交錯し 風が去る
(Blade and song entwine as the wind departs)

掌に残るは短い銘と遠い記憶のみ
(What remains in the palm is a brief inscription and distant memory)
名を呼ぶ声は風に解けてゆく
(The voice that calls a name dissolves into the wind)

旗影は泥に滲み 消えゆく
(Banner shadows bleed into the mud and fade away)
骸は砂に溶ける
(Bodies melt into the sand)
朝を待つ骨だけを抱いて
(Embracing only bones that wait for the dawn)
我らは丘を下り 静けさへ還る
(We descend the hill and return to stillness)

Prompt

Elegiac, extreamly brutal galloping melodic death metal obsessed with relentless speed and visceral attack. All vocals are male growls-harsh, guttural; choruses stack multiple growls for massive weight. Operate 235 BPM with relentless double bass drums and blast beats. Opening with brutal blast beats, aggressive riffs, and growls. Sustain aggressive tempoand favor blast-beat propulsion and driving double bass drums. Lead guitar should sing using harmonic minor phrases and modal shifts, with harmonized lines that echo like laments. Integrate traditional Japanese instruments as core voices not mere flourishes. Taiko and lower percussion supply a primal engine. Shakuhachi and bamboo flute weave plaintive lines that answer the guitar. Shamisen and koto add percussive snap and brittle arpeggios to reinforce the attack. Arrange so that a Japanese instrument can take a full melodic solo and converse with lead guitar. Orchestral pads remain sparse and ritualic to give ceremonial breadth.
