Lyrics

Harbor lights dim beneath a wound in the sky
(空に穿たれた傷の下で港の灯は翳る)
A black flame moves where the cold tides sleep
(冷たい潮が眠る場所を黒い炎が這う)

I walked past the cranes in a net of fog
(霧の網に絡め取られた鉄の腕のそばを私は歩いた)
Past windows glowing like memories nailed to stone
(石に打ちつけられた記憶のように窓は淡く灯っていた)
The sea held still at the edge of the quay
(波止場の縁で海は息を潜めていた)
And every brass compass forgot its north
(そして真鍮の羅針盤はみな北を失っていた)

夜を裂く鐘が鳴る
(A bell rings, rending the night)
黒き星が地に堕ちる
(A black star falls to the earth)
血に塗れても消えぬ炎
(A flame that will not die, even when drenched in blood)
沈黙は祈りへと姿を変える
(Silence takes the form of prayer)

Black Comet Rite, draw the fire down
(黒彗星の儀式よ 火をこの地へ引き降ろせ)
Let the hidden tide rise through the broken clouds
(砕けた雲を裂き 秘められた潮を立ち上がらせよ)
Black Comet Rite, speak in iron light
(黒彗星の儀式よ 鉄の光をもって語れ)
We will sing the sky awake tonight
(今宵我らは天を目覚めさせる歌を響かせよう)

On the chapel roof the lenses turned black
(礼拝堂の屋根で硝子の瞳は黒く染まっていた)
A circle of watchers raised candles to the wind
(見守る者たちは円陣を組み 風に向けて蝋燭を掲げた)
Their faces were pale in the violet glare
(紫の閃光の中でその顔は蒼白だった)
Like saints erased from a forgotten book
(忘れ去られた書から消し去られた聖者たちのように)

鐘の音が静寂を裂く
(The sound of bells tears open the silence)
眠れる影が立ち上がる
(Sleeping shadows rise to their feet)
深淵より湧き上がる恐怖
(Terror surges up from the abyss)
この夜はまだ終わらない
(This night is not yet over)

Black Comet Rite, draw the fire down
(黒彗星の儀式よ 火をこの地へ引き降ろせ)
Let the hidden tide rise through the broken clouds
(砕けた雲を裂き 秘められた潮を立ち上がらせよ)
Black Comet Rite, speak in iron light
(黒彗星の儀式よ 鉄の光をもって語れ)
We will sing the sky awake tonight
(今宵我らは天を目覚めさせる歌を響かせよう)

When the comet leans over the sea
(黒彗星が海へと身を傾けるとき)
When the harbor stones begin to hum
(港の石畳が唸り始めるとき)
We will cross the line the stars refused
(星々すら拒んだ境界を我らは越えてゆく)
And meet the pulse behind the storm
(そして嵐の奥に脈打つ鼓動と相まみえる)

Black Comet Rite, draw the fire down
(黒彗星の儀式よ 火をこの地へ引き降ろせ)
Let the hidden tide rise through the broken clouds
(砕けた雲を裂き 秘められた潮を立ち上がらせよ)
Black Comet Rite, speak in iron light
(黒彗星の儀式よ 鉄の光をもって語れ)
We will sing the sky awake tonight
(今宵我らは天を目覚めさせる歌を響かせよう)

Black Comet Rite, break the sleeping veil
(黒彗星の儀式よ 眠れる帳を破り裂け)
Let the ash crown bloom above the midnight waves
(真夜中の波の上に灰の王冠を咲かせよ)
Black Comet Rite, call the lost ones home
(黒彗星の儀式よ 失われし者たちを帰還させよ)
Every darkened heart will rise and burn as one
(闇に沈んだ心はすべて一つに立ち上がり燃え上がる)

The black comet passes but its fire remains
(黒彗星は過ぎ去れどその炎だけは残る)
In the salt and glass of the waking dawn
(目覚めゆく暁の 塩と硝子の中に)

Prompt

Compose a symphonic blackened power metal anthem titled Black Comet Rite. The image is a black comet over a ruined observatory while a hidden order performs a midnight rite. Use a tempo around 214 BPM with relentless double bass, galloping guitars, tremolo bursts, and snare cracks. Open with choir, low gong, and one ominous guitar harmonic, then let the full band crash in like a sky split by prophecy. Verses should be tense and vivid with harsh vocals, tight riffing, and sparse orchestral accents. Pre choruses rise quickly with layered harmonies and mounting toms. Choruses should explode into a huge hook with clean lead vocals, stacked gang shouts, twin leads, and a recurring leitmotif that feels like a celestial alarm. Add brass, dark strings, and organ for ritual grandeur. Include a brief middle passage with half time weight, choir chants, and a guitar and synth duel, then return to a final chorus. Keep the mix wide, punchy, cinematic with clear bass, cymbals, each strike feels huge!
