Lyrics

Under the tower where the black vines climb
(黒き蔦が這い上がる塔の下で)
Bronze dust sleeps on the altar stair
(祭壇の石段に青銅の塵が眠る)
I touch the scar that split the ancient bell
(古き鐘を引き裂いた傷に触れる)
A buried tremor wakes beneath my palm
(埋もれた震えが掌の下で目を覚ます)
Wind moves through torn banners overhead
(頭上では風が裂けた旗の間を駆け抜ける)
The stone below remembers how to shake
(足元の石は忘れていた震えを思い出す)

深い裂け目に 指をあてれば
(When I lay my fingers against the deep fissure)
消えた火の熱が まだ残る
(The heat of a vanished flame still lingers)
沈黙の底から 震えが昇り
(A tremor rises from the depths of silence)
閉ざされた空を 押し開く
(And forces open the sealed sky)

Bellwound, ring across the ruined heights
(鐘の傷よ 廃墟の高みに響き渡れ)
裂けた鐘よ 闇を震わせ
(O fractured bell make the darkness tremble)
Bellwound, carry the buried sound
(鐘の傷よ 埋もれた響きを運べ)
失われた名を 空へ放て
(Cast the lost names into the sky)
Stone after stone begins to answer
(石は次々に応え始める)
その傷から 光が昇る
(Light rises from that wound)
Bellwound, ring till the valley wakes
(鐘の傷よ 谷が目覚めるまで響け)
ひび割れた朝を 胸に掲げ
(Raise the fractured dawn within your heart)

崩れた石段に 灰が積もり
(Ash gathers upon the crumbling stair)
風だけが古い扉を押す
(Only the wind presses against the ancient door)
鐘楼の影で眠った人々が
(The people sleeping in the bell tower’s shadow)
遠い震えに目を開いてゆく
(Slowly open their eyes to the distant tremor)
一人ずつ火を手渡すように
(As though passing fire from one soul to the next)
冷えた指から 明かりが渡る
(Light passes from their frozen fingers)

The fracture widens under winter light
(冬の光の下で亀裂は広がる)
A silver seam runs down the tower wall
(銀の筋が塔の壁を駆け下りる)
Dust falls free from every weathered arch
(風化した弓形の石組みから塵がこぼれ落ちる)
The sleeping valley turns its face to hear
(眠れる谷が耳を澄ませて顔を上げる)

Bellwound, ring across the ruined heights
(鐘の傷よ 廃墟の高みに響き渡れ)
裂けた鐘よ 闇を震わせ
(O fractured bell make the darkness tremble)
Bellwound, carry the buried sound
(鐘の傷よ 埋もれた響きを運べ)
失われた名を 空へ放て
(Cast the lost names into the sky)
Stone after stone begins to answer
(石は次々に応え始める)
その傷から 光が昇る
(Light rises from that wound)
Bellwound, ring till the valley wakes
(鐘の傷よ 谷が目覚めるまで響け)
ひび割れた朝を 胸に掲げ
(Raise the fractured dawn within your heart)

The tower leans above the sleeping field
(眠れる野を見下ろして塔が傾ぐ)
A pale ember trembles in the wound
(淡い残り火が傷の中で震える)
Far below the first footsteps begin
(遥か眼下で最初の足音が響き始める)

鐘の傷から 朝がこぼれる
(Morning spills from the bell’s wound)
崩れる石壁を 光が駆ける
(Light races across the crumbling stone wall)
遠い谷まで 震えは渡り
(The tremor travels as far as the distant valley)
眠っていた旗が 風をつかむ
(The slumbering banners seize the wind)

Bellwound, ring across the breaking heights
(鐘の傷よ 崩れゆく高みに響き渡れ)
裂けた鐘よ 空を震わせ
(O fractured bell make the heavens tremble)
Bellwound, carry the waking sound
(鐘の傷よ 目覚めゆく響きを運べ)
埋もれた声を 彼方へ放て
(Cast the buried voices into the distance)
Every fallen stone begins to answer
(崩れ落ちた石の一つ一つが応え始める)
その傷から 夜明けが広がる
(Dawn spreads from that wound)
Bellwound, ring as the tower falls
(鐘の傷よ 塔が崩れ落ちる中で響け)
砕けた光を 明日へ掲げ
(Raise the shattered light toward tomorrow)

Bellwound, let the whole valley hear
(鐘の傷よ 谷の隅々まで聞かせよ)
裂けたままで
(Still riven open)
響き続けろ
(Keep resounding)

Prompt

Create a fast symphonic power metal track titled Bellwound, built around a fractured bronze bell motif whose decaying resonance returns at structural turning points. Use double-time drive, urgent double bass, articulate galloping riffs, and clear melodic hierarchy rather than constant maximum density. Let female lead and high-tone male power vocal trade and unite across sections, with English and Japanese both carrying major narrative and hook roles. Keep verses lean, then widen the chorus into soaring bittersweet melody, harmonized guitars, choir support, and a memorable title hook. Make two deliberate density drops: a mid-song reset around low toms, bell resonance, and suspended strings, then a later breath before the final surge. Reaccelerate through a singing guitar and violin exchange into an expanded final chorus. The mix should stay bright, heavy, spacious, and transient-clear. Preserve contrast, forward motion, and a complete arc under five minutes. End on one last broken toll.
