Lyrics

A slow bell counts a pale gathering of tides
(ゆっくりと響く鐘が淡い潮の集いを数える)
Silver beams write names on falling dust
(銀の光が舞い落ちる塵に名を記す)

I stalk between shuttered halls of lantern smoke
(私は灯りの煙が漂う閉ざされた回廊を忍び歩く)
Numbers scrawl across my palms like frost
(数字が霜のごとく掌に走り書かれる)
Footfalls tally every borrowed breath we took
(足音は私たちが借りた一つ一つの呼吸を数え上げる)
Shadows weave a tally from hollow vows
(影は虚ろな誓いから帳を織り上げる)

月が裂けて声になる
(The moon splits open and becomes a voice)
忘れられた誓いが震える
(Forgotten vows tremble)

Moonlit reckoning lift the folded years
(月明かりの審判よ 折り畳まれた歳月を照らし出せ)
Through glassless nights we stitch the final thread
(硝子なき夜を縫い 我らは最後の糸を結う)
呼び声は深い海の底から
(A calling rises from the ocean’s deep)
Hold to the ember that will not let go
(離れようとしない残り火をしっかり抱きしめよ)

Cinders mark the path of paperless regrets
(残灰が紙なき後悔の道を刻む)
Banners fray and whisper the old accounts
(旗は擦り切れ 古き帳を囁く)
The sky weighs heavy with a note of old debts
(空は古き負債の一節を抱え 重く垂れこめる)
We march with hollow braids and ironed hope
(私たちは虚ろな綯いと折り目正しい希望を携えて進む)

When the moon counts our faces one by one we will learn the weight of every silence
(月がひとつひとつ我らの顔を数えるとき 我らはすべての沈黙の重さを知るだろう)

Moonlit reckoning rise and fold the lost into light
(月明かりの審判よ 立ち上がれ 失われし者を光に包み込め)
From the seam of night a single chorus swells
(夜の縫い目から一つの合唱が湧き上がる)
夜と夜が縫い合わされる時
(When night is stitched to night)
We will name the absent and breathe them home
(我らは欠けた者たちの名を呼び その息で彼らを帰るべき場所へ還す)

Prompt

Tempo near 200 BPM drives a relentless nocturnal galloping symphonic speed metal assault. Blistering blast beats and focused double bass drums lock with razor tremolo guitars and palm muted chugs. Expansive orchestral strings sit with a full choir and low brass to build cathedral scale heft. Verses favor guttural attack while pre chorus lines expose fragile female cleans that float and tremble. Choruses soar with layered male clean harmonies and harmonic counterlines that hook. Guitar leads favor neo classical runs and melodic sweep picking woven with string motifs. Place taiko style hits and cinematic percussion to accent transitions and make drums punch through dense mixes. Arrange wide stereo imaging for choir and orchestral pads while keeping guitars and low end centered for power.
