Lyrics

We found the hill where all the colors burned
(あらゆる色が焼け尽きた丘へたどり着いた)
Black thread was twisting through the grass
(黒い糸が草むらを縫うようにうねっていた)
The poles stood bare against a whitening sky
(白みゆく空に何も掲げぬ旗竿が立ち尽くしていた)
Their iron rings kept striking as we passed
(通り過ぎる私たちの傍らで鉄の輪が鳴り続けていた)
Boots filled the road beneath the fallen crests
(地に落ちた紋章のもと 道は靴音に満ちていた)
Ash rose in ribbons round our knees
(灰が帯のように膝元へ舞い上がった)
One by one we stripped the badges from our coats
(私たちは一つずつ上着から徽章を剥ぎ取った)
And heard the open country breathe
(そして果てなく開けた大地の息づかいを聞いた)

焼けた布を風へ放て
(Let the scorched cloth fly into the wind)
空の旗竿が朝風に鳴る
(The empty flagpole rings in the morning wind)
名も印も持たないまま
(With neither name nor mark to bear)
重なる靴音が野をひらく
(Our gathering footsteps unfold the plain before us)

風だけを高く掲げ
(Raise nothing but the wind)
地平の向こうへ駆け抜けろ
(Run beyond the horizon)
誰の色にも染まらぬまま
(Unstained by anyone’s colors)
We make the road beneath our feet
(踏みしめる足元に自らの道を拓く)
重なる声が夜を裂く
(Our gathering voices cleave the night)
Bannerless
(旗なき者たち)

At every gate another hand reached out
(門を越えるたび新たな手が差し伸べられた)
A faded ribbon dropped into the dust
(色褪せた帯が塵の中へ落ちた)
Old insignias slipped loose in the rain
(古びた徽章が雨の中でひとつずつ外れていった)
Bright pins lay cooling in the ruts
(光る留め針が轍の中で冷えていた)
We crossed the bridge as evening split in red
(夕暮れが紅に裂ける中 私たちは橋を渡った)
No single shadow led the line
(列の先頭に立つ影はひとつもなかった)
The empty masts kept time behind our backs
(背後では空の旗竿が拍を刻み続けた)
Three notes against the falling light
(暮れゆく光を背に響く三つの音)

ほどけた色を置いてゆけ
(Leave the unraveling colors behind)
胸の鼓動だけ連れてゆけ
(Carry only the beating of your heart)
遠い鐘が消えたあとも
(Even after the distant bells fade)
足元から明日が鳴る
(Tomorrow rings out from beneath our feet)

風だけを高く掲げ
(Raise nothing but the wind)
地平の向こうへ駆け抜けろ
(Run beyond the horizon)
誰の色にも染まらぬまま
(Unstained by anyone’s colors)
We make the road beneath our feet
(踏みしめる足元に自らの道を拓く)
重なる声が夜を裂く
(Our gathering voices cleave the night)
Bannerless
(旗なき者たち)

We left the painted names behind
(彩られた名を私たちは背後に置き去りにした)
消えかけた声がまた響く
(The fading voices ring out again)
The wind moved through our open hands
(風が開いた掌のあいだを吹き抜けていった)
夕映えが足元でほどける
(The afterglow unravels at our feet)
Three notes rang across the plain
(三つの音が平原を渡って響いた)
遠い足音がひとつに重なる
(Distant footsteps merge into one)

風だけを高く掲げ
(Raise nothing but the wind)
まだ見ぬ朝まで駆け抜けろ
(Run on until the dawn we have yet to see)
足跡が一本の道になる
(Our footprints become a single road)
We make the road beneath our feet
(踏みしめる足元に自らの道を拓く)
数えきれない声が空を満たす
(Countless voices fill the sky)
We run beneath an open sky
(果てなくひらけた空の下を駆ける)
誰の色にも染まらぬまま
(Unstained by anyone’s colors)
Bannerless
(旗なき者たち)

走れ
(Run)
Bannerless
(旗なき者たち)

Prompt

Melodic power metal built around immediate identity, clean vocal priority, and selective structural impact. Open with a three-note rising mast-call, snare pickup, twin guitars, and double bass, locking into the main drive immediately. Keep verses urgent and lean with palm-muted riffs and a lower clean English lead, then lift into Japanese pre-choruses and soaring Japanese-led choruses, with both clean voices joining on Bannerless. Use gang vocals only as title reinforcement. Create speed through double bass, gallop accents, riff motion, articulation, and short rests rather than constant density. Let strings and brass shadow guitar lines without taking over. Mid-song, narrow into a half-time reset with exposed clean voices and the three-note call, then transform that motif into a fast lead-guitar ascent. Recover into the chorus with wider harmonies, octave doubles, and counter-melodies for the final payoff. Keep riffs, vocals, kick, and snare clear, with dynamic breathing between peaks.
