Lyrics

Who taught the stone to breathe
(誰が石に息吹を授けた)

At midnight every window turns toward the square
(真夜中 すべての窓が広場へと向き直る)
Pale figures gather under shuttered lamps
(覆いを閉じた灯の下に青白い人影が集う)
Their faces shine smooth where mouths should open
(口のあるべき場所まで滑らかなその顔が鈍く光る)
Still the paving stones begin to hum
(それでも石畳は低く唸り始める)
A low vibration climbs through my boots
(低い震えが靴底から這い上がる)
Dust slips in rings from every sill
(どの窓辺からも塵が輪を描いて滑り落ちる)
One note becomes three beneath my ribs
(肋骨の奥でひとつの音が三つへ分かれる)
The tower glass trembles without wind
(風もないのに塔の硝子が震える)

石畳の下で息が脈打つ
(Breath pulses beneath the cobblestones)
閉ざされた顔が一斉に空を仰ぐ
(The sealed faces lift toward the sky as one)
胸の骨まで見知らぬ旋律が満ちる
(An unfamiliar melody floods the bones within my chest)

Mouthless Choir, unseal the night
(口なき聖歌隊よ 夜の封印を解け)
声のない歌が胸を震わせる
(A voiceless song shakes my chest)
名を失った影が石段を昇る
(Shadows stripped of their names ascend the stone steps)
街はその歌に合わせて目を覚ます
(The city awakens in time with the song)

I touch the cold cheek of the nearest shape
(最も近い人影の冷たい頬に触れる)
The chord runs through my wrist like current
(和音が電流のように手首を駆け抜ける)
Behind each smooth face a pulse keeps time
(滑らかな顔の奥で脈動が拍を刻んでいる)
The empty fountain fills with black ripples
(水のない噴水に黒い波紋が満ちていく)
Street signs shake loose from rusted chains
(街路標識が震え 錆びた鎖から外れていく)
Names fall facedown into the water
(いくつもの名がうつむくように水へ落ちていく)
My own reflection blurs around the mouth
(水面の私も口元から滲んでいく)
A white seam closes over my lips
(白い縫い目が私の唇を閉ざしていく)

喉の奥で最後の言葉が砕ける
(My final word shatters deep in my throat)
指先に残る震えだけが答える
(Only the tremor lingering in my fingertips answers)
人影の輪が静かに揺らめく
(The circle of figures wavers in silence)

Mouthless Choir, unseal the night
(口なき聖歌隊よ 夜の封印を解け)
声のない歌が胸を震わせる
(A voiceless song shakes my chest)
名を失った影が石段を昇る
(Shadows stripped of their names ascend the stone steps)
今は私の鼓動まで同じ拍を刻む
(Now even my heartbeat keeps the same time)

石の息が足元からせり上がる
(The breath of stone rises beneath my feet)
閉じた唇の跡が熱を持つ
(The mark of my sealed lips begins to burn)
叫びは出口を失い骨へ沈む
(My scream finds no way out and sinks into my bones)
その瞬間 広場中の影が振り向く
(At that instant every shadow across the square turns its head)

The first chord rises where my voice was
(私の声が消えた場所から最初の和音が立ち昇る)
Warm pressure gathers under my jaw
(顎の下に熱い力がこみ上げる)
Every sealed face turns toward me
(閉ざされたすべての顔が私へ向き直る)
The next note blooms inside my chest
(次の音が胸の内で花開く)

Mouthless Choir
(口なき聖歌隊)
石の街を震わせろ
(Make the city of stone tremble)
私の名はもう水面に浮かばない
(My name no longer floats upon the water)
胸の奥から声が聞こえる
(I hear a voice from deep within my chest)
I disappear into the chord
(私は和音の中へ溶けて消える)
The whole city sings through us
(街そのものが私たちを通して歌う)

Prompt

Symphonic death metal with double-time propulsion, cavernous growls as the lead identity, and a choir as structural payoff rather than wallpaper. Begin with a brief three-note sealed-breath motif in low strings and guitar harmonics, then commit to blast beats, driving double bass, tremolo riffs and hard chug accents before the intro drifts. Keep riffs articulate and let major states dwell long enough to register. English verses stay growl-led and tense. Japanese prechoruses tighten the motif and lift harmonic pressure. Japanese choruses remain harsh-led, with the mouthless choir enlarging the hook without masking guitars or drums. Drop into one crushing halftime breakdown where the motif stretches into heavy accents, then recover fast motion. Use selective salience, leaving space around key riffs, pickups and choir entries instead of filling every gap. Fuse strings, brass, and choral mass with the death-metal engine. End in tragic expansion as the lead voice is absorbed into the choir.
