Lyrics

Above the glass-black plain a white wound splits the sky
(黒硝子のような平原の上で 白い傷が空を引き裂く)
Its light crawls over armor and thins every shadow
(その光が鎧の上を這い 影という影を薄くしてゆく)
We climb through fallen arches where the old gods lost their names
(古き神々が名を失った地で 崩れた幾つもの門をくぐりながら登る)
Each step draws us closer to the place where heaven broke
(一歩ごとに 天が砕けた場所へと近づいてゆく)

神の傷痕がまだ空を灼いている
(The god’s scar still scorches the sky)
消えない光が私たちを呼ぶ
(Its undying light calls to us)

Godscar, burn through the crown of heaven
(神の傷痕よ 天の冠を焼き貫け)
White fire spills from where the god fell
(神が倒れた場所から白い炎があふれ出す)
We climb the wound while fragments turn to stars
(破片が星へと変わるなか 私たちは傷痕を登る)
Beyond its light another world begins
(その光の彼方で 新たな世界が始まる)

砕けた天の果てへ進め
(Press on to the edge of shattered heaven)
見知らぬ命がその先で息づく
(Beyond it, unknown life draws breath)

裂けた天蓋の下を駆け抜ける
(We race beneath the torn vault of heaven)
白い傷口から夜がこぼれ落ちる
(Night spills from the white wound)
倒れた神像の指を踏み越えて
(We step over the fingers of a fallen idol)
眠る心臓へ続く石段を降りる
(We descend the stone steps that lead to the sleeping heart)

Under the scar the buried chambers breathe
(傷痕の下で 埋もれた幾つもの広間が息づく)
A pale horizon trembles in the deep
(深淵の奥で 青白い地平が揺らめく)

Godscar, burn through the crown of heaven
(神の傷痕よ 天の冠を焼き貫け)
White fire spills from where the god fell
(神が倒れた場所から白い炎があふれ出す)
We climb the wound while fragments turn to stars
(破片が星へと変わるなか 私たちは傷痕を登る)
Beyond its light another world begins
(その光の彼方で 新たな世界が始まる)

砕けた天の果てへ進め
(Press on to the edge of shattered heaven)
見知らぬ命がその先で息づく
(Beyond it, unknown life draws breath)

夜の底で神はまだ夢を見ている
(In the depths of night the god is dreaming still)
その夢の光が大地を縛る
(The light of that dream binds the earth)
私は傷の奥へ手を伸ばし
(I reach deep into the wound)
奪われた朝をこの手で奪い返す
(With my own hands I take back the stolen dawn)

I press my hands into the burning seam
(燃えさかる裂け目に両手を深く差し入れる)
The buried god twists beneath the stone
(石に埋もれた神が身をよじる)
Pillars fold as ancient light pours out
(古の光があふれ出すなか 柱が折れ曲がる)
The wound above us opens like an eye
(頭上の傷口が眼のように見開かれる)

Godscar, blaze above the broken heaven
(神の傷痕よ 砕けた天の上で燃え上がれ)
The dead god fades beneath the path we climb
(私たちが登る道の下で 死せる神は姿を消してゆく)
We carry no crown from the ruin left below
(眼下に残る廃墟から 王冠を持ち去りはしない)
We leave the wound alive and walk beyond its light
(今なお脈打つ傷を後にして その光の彼方へ歩み出す)

神の傷痕は空に残る
(The god’s scar remains in the sky)
その光を背にして歩き出す
(We set out with its light at our backs)

傷痕は消えない
(The scar will never fade)
Still we move beneath another sky
(それでも私たちは別の空の下を歩み続ける)

Prompt

Fast, elegiac melodic death metal: two-beat drive, double bass, tremolo riffs and mournful twin-guitar melodies. Open at once with Godscar’s descending minor-key guitar motif and male growls; no atmospheric delay. Keep the pulse racing through verses and growl-led choruses. Melodies should ache with grief: falling phrases, suspended notes, dark minor harmony and unresolved cadences, never bright heroic lift or major-key triumph. Let the chorus widen through anguished harmonized guitars, not clean leads. Female cleans are fragile, haunted countervoices in prechoruses, bridge and chorus responses; male growls retain command. Favor flowing melodic death riffs over bouncy chugs; keep blasts sharp and palm muting secondary. Allow a brief half-time death-metal riff shift with tremolo still moving, then return to full-speed attack. Keep orchestration dim and subordinate. Preserve Godscar’s motif, riff and vocal clarity. End in fierce, sorrowful release with an unresolved minor-key aftertaste.
