Lyrics

They painted the gates in a shimmer of gold
(門は黄金のきらめきで塗り固められていた)
So no one would see how the mortar was sold
(そうして誰の目にも漆喰が売り払われたことは映らぬように)
The statues were hollow beneath every vow
(あらゆる誓いの下で彫像は空洞だった)
Their smiles were lacquered to silence the crowd
(その微笑みは厚く塗り固められ 群衆を沈黙させていた)

I learned every hymn was a lock on a door
(私は知った あらゆる賛歌が扉を閉ざす錠前にすぎないと)
Every bright decree just a dust covered floor
(輝く勅命のすべても埃に覆われた床にすぎないと)
The sign in the vault read honor and grace
(金庫に掲げられた札には 栄誉と恩寵と記されていた)
But the air tasted rust in that polished place
(だがその磨き上げられた場所の空気は錆の味がした)

Gilded heresy we tear through the velvet fraud
(金箔の異端よ 我らは絹の欺瞞を引き裂く)
Raise the hidden name and defy the velvet god
(秘められし名を掲げ 絹の神に抗え)
No kneeling for the mask no praise for the false
(仮面に膝を屈するな 偽りを讃えるな)
We set the bright lie to tremble and fall
(我らはその眩い虚構を震わせ 墜とす)

Mirrors were lined in the hall of the elite
(権力者たちの広間には 鏡が隙なく並べられていた)
To teach every witness the shape of defeat
(それは目撃する者すべてに敗北のかたちを教えるため)
I followed the threads through the banquet of fumes
(私は香煙ただよう饗宴の中を糸をたどって進んだ)
And found a cold choir in the chandelier rooms
(そしてシャンデリアの間に冷えきった聖歌隊を見いだした)

Every bright banner was stitched from the same
(輝く旗はすべて同じものから縫い上げられていた)
Quiet obedience dressed up as flame
(静かな服従を炎の衣で飾り立てたものだった)
So I broke the seal where the silent ones slept
(だから私は沈黙する者たちの眠る場所で封印を破った)
And the whole jeweled house began to weep
(すると宝飾の館そのものが泣きはじめた)

Let the courtiers count what they cannot own
(廷臣たちには己が持たぬものを数えさせておけ)
Let the false saints watch as the pillars are shown
(偽聖者どもには柱が暴かれるのを見届けさせておけ)

Gilded heresy we tear through the velvet fraud
(金箔の異端よ 我らは絹の欺瞞を引き裂く)
Raise the hidden name and defy the velvet god
(秘められし名を掲げ 絹の神に抗え)
No kneeling for the mask no praise for the false
(仮面に膝を屈するな 偽りを讃えるな)
We set the bright lie to tremble and fall
(我らはその眩い虚構を震わせ 墜とす)

Prompt

Compose a symphonic power metal anthem titled Gilded Heresy. Tempo 208 BPM, relentless double bass, galloping rhythm guitars, and forward motion. Verse riffs should be tight, metallic, and palm muted. Choruses must open into harmonized chords that feel royal, radiant, and dangerous. Lead guitars carry twin melodies, soaring bends, and neo classical flourishes that answer the vocals. Add orchestral strings, brass accents, and a choir to create a cathedral atmosphere without crowding the guitars. Vocals should be clean, powerful, and dramatic, capable of ringing high notes and unisons on the hook. Include a pre bridge line to intensify the narrative, then unleash a solo that trades motifs with violin or synths. Keep kick and bass locked tightly, preserve snare crack and pick attack, and mix with stereo guitars and midrange focus. Production should feel colossal, and forbidden, balancing radiance with menace so the song sounds like a coronation collapsing into rebellion with greater lift.
