Lyrics

A buried pillar wakes beneath the salt and ash
(塩と灰の下で埋もれた柱が目を覚ます)
Its shadow climbs the dunes before the sun can rise
(太陽が昇るより先にその影は砂丘を這い上がる)

I heard it breathing under the pilgrim road
(巡礼の道の下でそれが息づくのを聞いた)
A low refrain beneath the bones of the earth
(大地の骨のさらに奥で低く繰り返す調べが鳴る)
The mirrors in the shrine turned black as water
(祠の鏡は水面のように黒く沈んだ)
And every broken seal began to learn my name
(そして砕けた封印のひとつひとつが私の名を覚え始めた)

石の奥で眠っていた鼓動が
(The heartbeat that had slept deep within the stone)
失われた時を呼び戻してゆく
(Is calling the lost time back)

Obelisk Pulse, send your signal through the dark
(オベリスクの脈動よ 闇を越えてその信号を放て)
Carve a line of fire across the empty land
(虚ろな大地を切り裂いて炎の一線を刻め)
Obelisk Pulse, lift the forgotten sky
(オベリスクの脈動よ 忘れ去られた空を持ち上げろ)
We will answer with our voices in the sand
(我らは砂上に響く声で応える)

The nomads left a ring of lanterns at the ruin
(放浪の民は廃墟に灯籠の輪を残していった)
Their prayers were tied to dust and copper thread
(彼らの祈りは塵と銅の糸に結ばれていた)
I found a crown of cracked blue glass below the column
(私は柱の下でひび割れた青い硝子の冠を見つけた)
And heard a thousand sleeping vows begin to hum
(そして千もの眠れる誓いがうなり始めるのを聞いた)

風に消えた名もなき願い
(Nameless wishes that vanished into the wind)
この鼓動だけは手放さない
(I will not let go of this heartbeat alone)

Obelisk Pulse, send your signal through the dark
(オベリスクの脈動よ 闇を越えてその信号を放て)
Carve a line of fire across the empty land
(虚ろな大地を切り裂いて炎の一線を刻め)
Obelisk Pulse, lift the forgotten sky
(オベリスクの脈動よ 忘れ去られた空を持ち上げろ)
We will answer with our voices in the sand
(我らは砂上に響く声で応える)

When the gates of stone unfasten from within
(石の門が内側から解き放たれるとき)
When the buried light returns to its throne
(埋もれていた光がその玉座へ還るとき)
We will climb the fracture and follow the vibration
(我らは裂け目を登りその振動を追いかける)
Until the horizon learns to bloom again
(地平が再び花開くその時まで)

Obelisk Pulse, break the silence wide awake
(オベリスクの脈動よ 目覚めきった静寂を打ち砕け)
Make the lifeless valleys ring with midnight gold
(生気なき谷々を真夜中の黄金の響きで満たせ)
Obelisk Pulse, call the sleepers home
(オベリスクの脈動よ 眠りし者たちを呼び戻せ)
Every lost ember will rise and take its form
(失われた残り火はひとつ残らず立ち上がり その姿を取り戻す)

The monolith still sings beneath the cooling stars
(冷えゆく星々の下でその巨石はいまも歌っている)
And the last note trembles in the desert air
(そして最後の音が砂漠の空気を震わせる)

Prompt

Create a towering symphonic power metal anthem titled Obelisk Pulse for replay value. The image is a lone monolith sending a heartbeat through desert night and broken sky. Tempo around 198 BPM with relentless double bass, galloping rhythm guitars, and a pulse that feels ceremonial. Open with low tom heartbeat, distant choir, and a stark bell motif, then let the band surge in like a buried city waking beneath stone. Verses stay tight, tense, and rhythmic, with dry lead vocals, muted guitars, and sparse orchestral accents. Pre choruses climb hard, adding rising harmonies and snare lifts. Choruses explode into a huge singable hook, wide twin guitars, stacked choir lines, and a title phrase that lands like a command. Use a memorable leitmotif in every chorus and final outro. Include a brief middle passage with half time weight and a guitar and synth duet, then return to a larger final chorus. Keep the mix punchy and clear, with defined bass, crisp snare, wide stereo image and air.
