Lyrics

I kneel beside the looms of a city without windows
(窓なき都の機の傍らにひざまずく)
Needles of rain stitch scars into the backs of alleys
(雨の針が路地の背に傷跡を縫い付ける)
Masked acolytes carry candles in their palms
(仮面の侍祭たちは掌に灯を携えて進む)
Each flame is a witness no tide can carry under
(その炎は一つひとつ いかなる潮にも沈められぬ証人だ)

帳の向こうで 名もなき朝が息を潜める
(Beyond the veil a nameless dawn holds its breath)

Veil of endless night part when our voices rise
(果てなき夜の帳よ 我らの声が上がる時に裂けよ)
We lift the hidden road from the hem of the dark
(闇の裾から隠された道を持ち上げる)
Bind the lost refrain to the pulse beneath our skin
(失われし反歌を 我らの皮膚の奥で脈打つ鼓動に結べ)
Until the sealed horizon learns our names
(封じられた地平が 我らの名を知るその時まで)

Salt on the stones writes scripts the old gates cannot read
(石の上の塩が 古き門には読めぬ文を記す)
Scribes in the undercroft trade ink for living breath
(地下聖堂の書記たちは 生きた息と引き換えに墨を売る)
A silver mask cracks and reveals a second face
(銀の仮面が割れ もうひとつの顔が現れる)
We follow the seam where the buried bells are sewn
(我らは 埋もれた鐘が縫い込まれた継ぎ目を辿る)

消えかけた灯は 指先でまだ形を保つ
(The fading lamp still keeps its shape beneath our fingertips)

Veil of endless night part when our voices rise
(果てなき夜の帳よ 我らの声が上がる時に裂けよ)
We lift the hidden road from the hem of the dark
(闇の裾から隠された道を持ち上げる)
Bind the lost refrain to the pulse beneath our skin
(失われし反歌を 我らの皮膚の奥で脈打つ鼓動に結べ)
Until the sealed horizon learns our names
(封じられた地平が 我らの名を知るその時まで)

When the cloth tears open we will carry the wound like a map
(布が裂けたなら 我らはその傷を地図のように携える)

Veil of endless night part when our voices rise
(果てなき夜の帳よ 我らの声が上がる時に裂けよ)
We lift the hidden road from the hem of the dark
(闇の裾から隠された道を持ち上げる)
Bind the lost refrain to the pulse beneath our skin
(失われし反歌を 我らの皮膚の奥で脈打つ鼓動に結べ)
Until the sealed horizon learns our names
(封じられた地平が 我らの名を知るその時まで)

Veil of endless night part when our voices rise
(果てなき夜の帳よ 我らの声が上がる時に裂けよ)
We lift the hidden road from the hem of the dark
(闇の裾から隠された道を持ち上げる)
From ember and ash we build a border of light
(残り火と灰より 我らは光の境界を築く)
And walk the edge where the waking begins
(そして目覚めの始まりが宿る縁を歩む)

Let the veil keep drifting over the silent harbor
(その帳よ 静かな港の上を漂い続けよ)

Prompt

Compose very fast, brutal and always double time beat galloping melodic darkened death metal built for replay value, driven by double bass drums, blast beats and gutturals, with crushing half time drops. Tempo 225 to 235 BPM. Guitars alternate razor tremolo runs and soaring harmonized leads, with a virtuosic neo classical solo that feels mournful and triumphant. Vocals are savage gutturals. The mood is dark, elegant, and catastrophic, like a procession through a ruined cathedral at full speed. Add cold orchestral pads, choir layers, and occasional taiko or deep tom accents to widen the frame without softening the attack. Keep rhythm guitars wide, leads centered, kick and bass tight, transients sharp, and the midrange uncluttered so every syllable cuts through. Use short reverb on fast passages, longer tails on swells, and master loud while keeping clarity. Make the hook feel beautiful because it is ferocious!!!
