Beacon of the Last Harbor

Lyrics

Along the salt-scarred pier where silence keeps its pact
(塩で傷ついた桟橋沿いに静寂が続く)
I trace the iron footsteps left by sailors gone to black
(暗闇へ消えた船乗りたちが残した鉄の足跡を辿る)
Lantern smoke like memory, it threads the midnight air
(ランタンの煙は記憶のように真夜中の空気を紡ぎ出す)
I learn the language of the tide and how to break despair
(潮の言葉を学び、絶望を断つ術を知る)

漆黒を照らす灯が
(A light that illumines the pitch-black)
消えた声を手招く
(it beckons to voices that have vanished)

灯れ、最後の灯標よ
(Shine, last beacon)
闇の海を切り裂いて
(Cut through the sea of darkness)
羅針盤が導く浜へ
(To the shore the compass guides)
失われた祈りを還せ
(Return the lost prayers)

Through glassy waves of memory a ship of paper drifts
(記憶の硝子の波を、紙の船が漂う)
Its sails are stitched of letters, every line a lover’s gift
(帆には文字が縫い付けられ、その一行一行が恋人への贈り物)
I follow constellations carved on weathered, salted bone
(風化し、塩に覆われた骨に刻まれた星座を辿る)
They point the way to coves where hidden oaths are sewn
(それらは、隠された誓いが縫い込まれた入り江への道を示す)

潮の囁きが道を示す
(The tide’s whisper shows the way)
忘却の縫目を辿れ
(Trace the seams of oblivion)

灯れ、最後の灯標よ
(Shine, last beacon)
深淵の縁を照らし
(Illuminate the edge of the abyss)
凍える声を導き出せ
(Lead out the frozen voices)
新しい航路を照らせ
(Illuminate a new course)

On decks of bone and rust we stand, hand upon the helm
(骨と錆の甲板の上に我らは立ち、舵を握る)
Our breath a shared confession before the last star fell
(最後の星が落ちる前、我らの吐息は互いの告白となった)
Take up the lantern, do not yield to cold and ache
(ランタンを掲げ、寒さと痛みに屈するな)
We are the cartographers who map the vows we make
(我らは誓いを地図に描く者)

When morning never comes and compass hands forget
(朝が来ず、羅針盤の針が忘れられるとき)
We stoke the fading filament and learn what light begets
(消えかけたフィラメントに火をつけ、光が生み出すものを学ぶ)
Every name becomes a harbor, every scar a quay
(すべての名は港となり、すべての傷は波止場となる)
We tie our futures to a rope and cast them to the sea
(我らは未来を縄に結び、それを海へ投げ捨てる)

灯れ、最後の灯標よ
(Shine, last beacon)
闇を割る一条の光
(A single beam of light that cuts through the darkness)
羅針盤が歌うその時まで
(Until the compass sings)
我らは灯を守る
(We guard the light)
