Lyrics

A white hall waits beneath a rain of cinders
(白き広間は灰の雨の下で息を潜めている)
No trumpet sounds, no cheering crowd appears
(トランペットの響きはなく 歓声を上げる群衆も現れない)

I walked through the archive of abandoned banners
(私は捨てられた軍旗の書庫を歩いた)
Past wax sealed ledgers and a row of empty masks
(蝋封された勘定帳と空ろな仮面の列を過ぎて)
The throne was wrapped in linen like a relic
(玉座は聖遺物のように亜麻布で包まれていた)
While moths drew constellations on the floor
(そのあいだ蛾たちは床に星座を描いていた)

誰も名を呼ばぬまま
(With no one calling a name)
静寂だけが朝を待つ
(Only silence waits for morning)

Bloodless Coronation, let the silence kneel
(血なき戴冠よ 静寂を跪かせよ)
Raise the sealed oath above the fading light
(色褪せゆく光の上へ 封じられた誓約を掲げよ)
Bloodless Coronation, no witness left to grieve
(血なき戴冠よ 悲しむ証人はもはや残されない)
We inherit the ruin and wear it like a crown
(我らは廃墟を継ぎ それを冠のように戴く)

The chamber choir of windows held their breath
(窓の聖歌隊は息を殺していた)
As pale geese traced circles over frozen stone
(蒼白な雁たちが凍てつく石の上に円を描くあいだ)
I found the royal seal inside a fountain
(私は噴水の内に王印を見つけた)
And heard the old law breaking under glass
(そして古き法が硝子の下で砕ける音を聞いた)

息を潜めた闇の中
(Within the darkness holding its breath)
新しい夜が始まる
(A new night begins)

Bloodless Coronation, let the silence kneel
(血なき戴冠よ 静寂を跪かせよ)
Raise the sealed oath above the fading light
(色褪せゆく光の上へ 封じられた誓約を掲げよ)
Bloodless Coronation, no witness left to grieve
(血なき戴冠よ 悲しむ証人はもはや残されない)
We inherit the ruin and wear it like a crown
(我らは廃墟を継ぎ それを冠のように戴く)

When the lacquer cracks and the mirrors dim
(漆がひび割れ 鏡の光が曇るとき)
When the last decree turns to ash in our hands
(最後の勅令が我らの手で灰と化すとき)
We will open the gates without a battle
(我らは戦うことなく門を開くだろう)
And let the cold dawn choose its heir
(そして冷たい夜明けに継承者を選ばせよう)

Bloodless Coronation, let the silence kneel
(血なき戴冠よ 静寂を跪かせよ)
Raise the sealed oath above the fading light
(色褪せゆく光の上へ 封じられた誓約を掲げよ)
Bloodless Coronation, no witness left to grieve
(血なき戴冠よ 悲しむ証人はもはや残されない)
We inherit the ruin and wear it like a crown
(我らは廃墟を継ぎ それを冠のように戴く)

Bloodless Coronation, the bells are made of ice
(血なき戴冠よ 鐘は氷でできている)
The empty room now glows with borrowed fire
(虚ろな広間はいま借り受けた火で輝いている)
Bloodless Coronation, our names are written slow
(血なき戴冠よ 我らの名はゆっくりと刻まれる)
On the undersides of thunder and the edge of day
(雷鳴の裏側と日の縁に)

The white hall still remembers
(白き広間はいまなお覚えている)
What it cost to call this peace a reign
(この平穏を統治と呼ぶためにいかなる代償が払われたのかを)

Prompt

Compose a symphonic power metal anthem titled Bloodless Coronation. Build the song around a haunted throne room image, a silent crown, and a kingdom that changes hands without blood. Tempo around 202 BPM with double bass, galloping guitars, and a regal but uneasy pulse. Start with a cold piano motif, distant choir, and restrained toms, then bring in tight palm muted verses that feel tense and ceremonial. Let the pre chorus rise with stacked harmonies and snare lifts. The chorus should open wide and feel inevitable, with a huge singable hook, twin lead guitars, choir layers, and a title phrase that lands like a verdict. Use a memorable leitmotif that returns in every chorus and outro. Add a middle passage with half time weight, low brass, and a guitar and violin duet, then push into a final chorus that feels like a crown lowered onto empty air. Keep the mix punchy, clear, and massive with defined bass, crisp drums, wide stereo guitars, and orchestral detail that never buries the vocals.
