Lyrics

Three knocks race beneath the polished floor
(磨き抜かれた床の下を三つの打音が駆け抜ける)
A warm red thread appears across the stone
(温かな赤い筋が石の上に浮かび上がる)

They shaped this quarter to outlive desire
(彼らは欲望さえ朽ち果てた後まで残るようこの街区を築いた)
Faces of marble watched the avenues
(大理石の顔が大通りを見下ろしていた)
No pulse was meant to trouble perfect hands
(完璧なその手を脈動が乱すはずなどなかった)
No breath was meant to cloud the sculpted mouths
(彫り上げられた唇を吐息が曇らせるはずなどなかった)
Then heat arrived without a source or season
(だが源も季節も持たぬ熱が訪れた)
A blush moved slowly underneath the white
(白き肌の下をほのかな紅がゆっくりと這った)
I touched a wrist that should have stayed like winter
(冬の冷たさを失わぬはずの手首に私は触れた)
It answered once and every window shook
(ただ一度脈打って応え すべての窓が震えた)

Hold the measure while the pressure climbs
(高まる圧力の中でも拍を保て)
Hear the hidden rhythm multiply
(秘められた律動が幾重にも増えてゆくのを聞け)

Marble Fever, race beneath the skin
(大理石の熱病よ その肌の下を駆け巡れ)
Wake the frozen halls from deep within
(凍りついた広間を深奥から目覚めさせよ)
Marble Fever, let the stillness run
(大理石の熱病よ 静止そのものを走らせよ)
Make every silent figure face the sun
(沈黙するすべての像を太陽へ向かせよ)
The colder they made us, the hotter we move
(冷たく造られたほどに私たちは熱く動き出す)
The harder the surface, the deeper the groove
(表層が硬いほど律動はより深く刻まれる)
Marble Fever, carry the sound
(大理石の熱病よ この響きを運べ)
Till every perfect wall is shaking now
(完璧を誇ったすべての壁が震え出すその時まで)

By noon the statues stepped down from their plinths
(正午には像たちは台座を降りていた)
Their footsteps struck in groups of three
(その足音は三つずつ大地を打った)
The fountains steamed along the central square
(中央広場では噴水が白い蒸気を上げていた)
Red seams drew maps across the colonnades
(赤い亀裂が列柱を横切って異形の地図を描いた)
The wardens tried to cool the rising stone
(番人たちは熱を帯びゆく石を冷まそうとした)
They wrapped the doors in sheets of silver frost
(彼らは扉を銀色の霜で幾重にも覆った)
But every touch divided into echoes
(だが触れるたびに衝撃は無数の反響へ裂け)
And sent the rhythm racing through the blocks
(その律動を石造りの街区の隅々まで走らせた)

Count the tremors growing out of phase
(位相をずらしながら増えてゆく震えを数えよ)
Feel the rigid pattern start to change
(硬直した秩序が変わり始める瞬間を感じろ)

Marble Fever, race beneath the skin
(大理石の熱病よ その肌の下を駆け巡れ)
Wake the frozen halls from deep within
(凍りついた広間を深奥から目覚めさせよ)
Marble Fever, let the stillness run
(大理石の熱病よ 静止そのものを走らせよ)
Make every silent figure face the sun
(沈黙するすべての像を太陽へ向かせよ)
The colder they made us, the hotter we move
(冷たく造られたほどに私たちは熱く動き出す)
The harder the surface, the deeper the groove
(表層が硬いほど律動はより深く刻まれる)
Marble Fever, carry the sound
(大理石の熱病よ この響きを運べ)
Till every perfect wall is shaking now
(完璧を誇ったすべての壁が震え出すその時まで)

One beat falters
(一つの拍がよろめく)
Two beats drag
(二つの拍が重く尾を引く)
Three strike sideways through the frame
(三つの打音が枠組みを横ざまに貫く)
Hands lose symmetry
(両手は均整を失い)
Columns bend
(柱は歪み)
Every measured line forgets its name
(測り定められたすべての線が己の名を忘れてゆく)

Marble Fever, tear across the skin
(大理石の熱病よ その肌を裂いて駆け抜けろ)
Turn the locked design against itself
(閉ざされた設計そのものを己へ牙を剥くものへ変えよ)
Marble Fever, let the statues run
(大理石の熱病よ 像たちを走らせろ)
Drive the rigid city toward the sun
(硬直した都市を太陽へと突き進ませよ)
The colder they made us, the faster we move
(冷たく造られたほどに私たちは速く駆ける)
The harder the surface, the sharper the groove
(表層が硬いほど律動はより鋭く刻まれる)
Marble Fever, carry the sound
(大理石の熱病よ この響きを運べ)
Till every perfect wall comes thundering down
(完璧を誇ったすべての壁が轟音とともに崩れ落ちるその時まで)

Three knocks fade beneath the cooling floor
(冷えゆく床の下で三つの打音が消えてゆく)
One warm handprint stays upon the stone
(温かな手の跡が一つだけ石の上に残る)

Prompt

Create a high-velocity symphonic power metal track titled Marble Fever, built around a three-hit fever pulse heard in low strings and muted guitar, then mutated through drums, bass, orchestra, and vocal phrasing. Keep the sense of speed unmistakable through double-time drums, articulate twin-kick patterns, short riff cells, sharp accents, and phrases that lean forward rather than simply raising BPM. Start immediately with the pulse now, then keep the verse narrow, tense, and lean. Expand the pre-chorus upward, then make the chorus burst wider with sustained chords, layered female lead, a simple soaring melody, and clean separation. After the second chorus, strip down to a fractured half-time fever section where the pulse stumbles and shifts accents, then rebuild into a fast contrapuntal guitar and string passage. Return to a larger final chorus. Use neoclassical and cinematic touches sparingly. Keep drums punchy, mids articulate, lows controlled, and orchestration wide but uncluttered.
