Nocturne of Velvet Thorns

Lyrics

Velvet thorns scrape the moonlit glass
(天鵞絨の棘が月明かりに照らされた硝子を引っ掻く)
Mirrors of ash reflect a hollow past
(灰の鏡が虚ろな過去を映し出す)
Silver rain erases inked confessions
(銀色の雨が墨で記した告白を洗い流す)
Citadels murmur in slow procession
(城塞はゆっくりとした行列のなかで囁きを巡らせる)

Rend the glass, feed the void
(硝子を引き裂き、虚空を満たせ)

Obsidian tides pull the gilded crown
(黒曜の潮が飾られた金の冠を引き寄せる)
Lanterns of marrow gutter down
(骨に宿る灯が揺らめき、消えゆく)
Sepulchral bells toll names in frost
(墓鐘が霜のなかで名を告げる)
Every promise counted, every coin is lost
(すべての誓いは数えられ、すべての硬貨は失われる)

夜の帳が肩を包み
(The veil of night wraps my shoulders)
薄れゆく声は遠く囁く
(Fading voices whisper from afar)

Nocturne of velvet thorns, ascend
(天鵞絨の棘の夜想曲よ、昇天せよ)
Through fractured glass our fates we mend
(割れた硝子を越えて、我らは運命を繕う)
紅い月が覗く静けさの中で
(In the stillness where the crimson moon peers)
揺るがぬ誓いを抱き走れ
(Embrace an unshakable vow and run)

Runes of frost lace the raven’s wing
(霜のルーン文字が漆黒の鴉の翼を飾る)
Echoes barter breaths for one last spring
(残響が息を差し出し、最後の春と取り引きする)
Thrones of crystal split into light
(水晶の王座が光へと裂ける)
We step the seam that severs night
(我らは夜を断ち切る裂け目を踏み越える)

In hollow halls where old kings sleep, we trade our shadows for a single dawn
(古の王たちが眠る空洞の大広間で、我らは影をひとつの夜明けと交換する)

Nocturne of velvet thorns, arise
(天鵞絨の棘の夜想曲よ、起て)
Beneath the glass the lost hearts rise
(硝子の下で、失われた心たちが立ち上がる)
誓いの火は灰となりてなお
(Even as the fire of vows turns to ash)
この胸に宿る灯を守る
(We keep the light that dwells within this heart safe)

Through mirrors cracked we carve our name
(割れた鏡に我らの名を刻む)
Velvet thorns become a crown of flame
(天鵞絨の棘が炎の王冠と化す)
Nocturne of velvet thorns, carry on
(天鵞絨の棘の夜想曲よ、進め)
Until the last horizon meets the dawn
(最後の地平が夜明けに触れるまで)

Prompt

At 235 BPM this nocturnal symphonic black metal odyssey merges relentless velocity with baroque grandeur. Blast-beats and pummeling double bass charge forward while tremolo-picked guitars slice through layered orchestral strings and choir swells. Harsh gutturals and animalistic snarls dominate verses; a spectral female clean voice floats in the pre-chorus, offering fragile contrast. Choruses erupt into soaring male melodies supported by stacked harmonies and cinematic brass hits. Interludes drift into cold ambient nebulae, then snap back into crushing riffs and a lumbering breakdown that grounds the chaos with low-tuned power. Guitar solos favor neoclassical sweep and melodic phrasing, weaving with contrapuntal string motifs. Production favors wide stereo depth, punchy transient drums, and parallel compression on guitars; reverb tails and granular delays paint the void. Dynamics must be extreme yet musical, allowing moments of hush to make the storms more devastating. Haunting echoes.!
