Lyrics

廃れた宮殿に揺れる蜃気楼
(A mirage trembles through the corridors of a ruined palace)
A silver blade hums like a dying star
(銀の刃が死にゆく星のように低く唸る)

漆黒の禁糸に踊る瑠璃の影
(Among jet-black forbidden threads, lapis-hued shadows dance)
腐蝕する金糸が夜を編む
(Gilded threads, corroding, weave the garment of night)
仮初の玉座は静かに崩れ落つ
(The makeshift throne quietly collapses into ruin)
爛れた笑顔に刻まれた黒き誓い
(A black oath is carved into that festering smile)

薄紅の朧月夜
(A faint crimson veil upon the hazy moonlit night)
来たれと囁く影の舞踏
(A shadowed dance whispers, come forth)

堕ちる華を抱いて刃は歌う
(Embracing the falling bloom, the blade intones its song)
Decadence ascends and rends the sky
(退廃が舞い上がり、空を引き裂く)
微笑の裏に燻る嘘を断ち斬り
(It severs the smoldering lies that fester behind each smile)
その刃に誓いを宿す
(And into that blade a vow is lodged)

終わりなき滴が真実を穿つ
(Unending drops pierce the core of truth)
銀の鎖が踊る夜
(Silver chains dance across the night)
飢えた燭台が空を食み
(A famished candelabrum devours the sky)
虚飾の王冠は灰に崩れる
(The crown of vanity crumbles into ash)

赫き風が歌を運ぶ
(A crimson wind bears a song)
触れれば消える幻の香
(A phantom fragrance that vanishes at a single touch)

退廃ノ名ヲ刻ミシ刃ノ記憶
(The blade’s memory that once engraved the name of decadence)
何度磨キ直シテモ 輝キハ濁ル
(No matter how often it is polished anew, its sheen grows tainted)
甘美ナ腐蝕ハ 既ニ血ト化シ
(That sweet corrosion has already turned to blood)
滅ビヲ選ビ続ケル……
(We continue to choose annihilation…)

堕ちる華を抱いて刃は歌う
(Embracing the falling bloom, the blade intones its song)
Decadence ascends and rends the sky
(退廃が舞い上がり、空を引き裂く)
白日に晒された偽りは砕け
(Falsehoods laid bare beneath broad daylight shatter)
その刃は黎明を裂く
(And that blade rends the dawn)

Silent petals fall like tarnished snow
(花弁は静かに汚れた雪のごとく舞い落ちる)

Blade of decadence cuts through our reverie
(退廃の刃が我らの夢想を切り裂く)
We forge ruin into a crown of flame
(我らは廃墟を炎の冠へと鍛え上げる)
破れた夢を握りしめ
(We clutch shattered dreams in our hands)
最後の夜明けを歌う
(We sing the final dawn)

刃に映るは朽ち行く王国
(Upon the blade is reflected a kingdom falling into decay)
新たな暁を待つ
(Waiting for a new daybreak)

Prompt

At 230 BPM this extreme galloping and brutal symphonic death/black metal assault blends pulverizing blast-beats and relentless double bass drums with orchestral cataclysms, Open with crushing, fast-tempo verses that never relent by brutal growls; sustain aggressive tempo (190-230 BPM) and favor blast-beat propulsion and driving double bass drums. Fierce tremolo-picked guitars carve icy motifs while crushing low-end chugs deliver tectonic heft, Dissonant string clusters, brass stabs, and choirs collide to form cavernous atmospheres, Vocals shift from cavernous death growls to shrieking black screams, Interludes of barren ambience and warped synth nebulae provide contrast like cold voids between storms, Breakdowns plunge into half-time monoliths with grinding palm-muted riffs and subsonic weight, Harmonized leads and neoclassical solos weave tragic melodies amid chaos
