Lyrics

A neon hush spills over the river of ash
(電飾の静寂が、灰の河へとこぼれ落ちる)
Bootsteps shimmer through rain on broken glass
(砕けた硝子を打つ雨の中で、足音がきらめく)

I woke beneath a marquee made of afterimages
(残像でできた看板の下で私は目を覚ました)
Where the city kept its secrets in electric smoke
(その街は電光の煙の中に秘密を抱きしめていた)
Streetlights trembled like candles in a fever dream
(街灯は熱に浮かされた夢の蝋燭のように震えていた)
And every window held a ghost with open eyes
(そしてすべての窓には目を見開いた亡霊がひそんでいた)

We found our names in the static
(我らは雑音の中に自らの名を見いだした)
Burning softly through the storm
(嵐のただ中で静かに燃えながら)

Neon Funeral, let the skyline sing our grief
(電飾の葬送よ 空を切る稜線に我らが悲嘆を歌わせよ)
We carry sparks through alleys made of steel
(我らは鋼の路地を火花を抱いて進む)
Neon Funeral, raise the light against the black
(電飾の葬送よ 闇に抗い光を掲げよ)
Even in the blaze of endings, we will not kneel
(終焉の炎に包まれても我らは膝を折らぬ)

Cassette prayers spun inside the abandoned arcade
(捨てられた遊技場で磁気の祈りが回り続けていた)
Lost hearts traced their halos on the broken tiles
(失われた心は砕けた床の上に自らの光輪を描いた)
A midnight train of strangers crossed the underpass
(真夜中の見知らぬ旅人たちを乗せた列車が地下道を駆け抜けていった)
With silver vows reflecting in their hands
(その手のひらには銀の誓いが映っていた)

The night began to crack apart
(夜はひび割れ始めた)
And every wound became a door
(そしてすべての傷が門となった)

Neon Funeral, let the skyline sing our grief
(電飾の葬送よ 空を切る稜線に我らが悲嘆を歌わせよ)
We carry sparks through alleys made of steel
(我らは鋼の路地を火花を抱いて進む)
Neon Funeral, raise the light against the black
(電飾の葬送よ 闇に抗い光を掲げよ)
Even in the blaze of endings, we will not kneel
(終焉の炎に包まれても我らは膝を折らぬ)

When the towers lose their color
(塔から色彩が失われるとき)
We will paint the dark with sound
(我らは音で闇を塗り替える)
When the sirens fade to ember
(警笛が熾火へと消えゆくとき)
We will rise from underground
(我らは地の底より立ち上がる)

Neon Funeral, let the skyline sing our grief
(電飾の葬送よ 空を切る稜線に我らが悲嘆を歌わせよ)
We are the flame inside the shattered wire
(我らは断ち割れた電線の奥に宿る炎)
Neon Funeral, when the last dawn comes undone
(電飾の葬送よ 最後の夜明けが崩れ落ちるとき)
A thousand lights will answer from the fire
(幾千もの光が炎の中から応える)

Rainfall drifts through the neon aftermath
(雨は電飾の残滓の中を漂いながら降り注ぐ)
And the empty streets keep humming our refrain
(そして空虚な街路はなおも我らの譜歌を口ずさみ続ける)

Prompt

Compose a melodic metal anthem titled Neon Funeral. Target tempo around 188 BPM with an urgent pulse. Blend symphonic power metal, neon noir drama, and modern melodic metal weight. Start with cold synth haze, distant choir, and a minimal piano motif. Verses should stay tight and tense with muted guitars, pulsing bass, and dry vocals. Pre choruses should climb fast and create pressure. Choruses must explode into wide harmonies, a huge singable hook, and bright lead guitar counterlines. Use a memorable title line that lands immediately and repeats with force. Add twin guitar melodies, a short solo, and a brief half time section before the final chorus. The final chorus should feel bigger, higher, and more emotional than the first, as if the last surviving lights in the city have all turned on at once. Mix for clarity, punch, and cinematic depth with strong mids, crisp drums, controlled low end, and polished mastering. Keep the hook immediate, chorus luminous, and the energy relentless!!!
