Lyrics

At noon they drained the banners into white
(真昼に彼らは旗から色を奪い白へと変えた)
And stamped one lawful shade across the square
(そして広場一面に唯一許された色を刻みつけた)

The census clerks erased the names of blue
(戸籍官たちは青の名を抹消した)
They weighed each memory beneath a lens
(彼らは拡大鏡の下で記憶をひとつずつ量った)
No child could draw beyond the measured lines
(どの子も定められた線の外へ絵を描けなかった)
No window kept the color of the west
(西の空の色を留める窓はひとつもなかった)
I hid a spectrum underneath my tongue
(私は舌の裏に虹の光を隠した)
A secret taste of copper, plum, and rain
(銅と李と雨が溶け合う秘めやかな味)
The magistrates pronounced my sight diseased
(裁判官たちは私の見る力を病と断じた)
Then sent me past the border without name
(そして名を奪ったまま国境の彼方へ追放した)

境界線の向こうへ
(Beyond the boundary line)
奪われた色を連れてゆく
(I carry the stolen colors onward)

Radiant exile, carry what they banned
(輝ける追放者よ 彼らが禁じたものを携えよ)
Scatter living colors over salt-white land
(塩のように白き大地へ命ある色を解き放て)
Radiant exile, let the distance know
(輝ける追放者よ 遥かな地平に知らしめよ)
Every measured order fades where wild hues grow
(奔放な色が芽吹く地では尺度に縛られた秩序はすべて色褪せる)
Radiant exile, every mark I bear
(輝ける追放者よ この身に刻まれた傷のすべてが)
Turns the vacant heavens into painted air
(虚ろな天を彩りの空へと塗り替える)
Strike me from the ledger, drive me from their gates
(名簿から私を消し門の外へ追いやるがいい)
I will build a homeland from the colors they erased
(彼らが消した色から私は故郷を築こう)

Nameless and bright
(名もなきまま輝け)
Beyond their sight
(彼らの目の届かぬ彼方で)

I crossed the flats where compasses went still
(私は羅針盤さえ沈黙する平原を越えた)
And found old pigments sleeping in the clay
(そして土の中に眠る古き顔料を見つけた)
A caravan of voices joined my road
(声の隊商が私の旅路へ加わった)
Each mouth concealed a different outlawed shade
(どの口も異なる禁色を隠していた)
We dyed our coats with berries from the cliffs
(私たちは崖に実る木の実で外套を染めた)
And traced new constellations on our skin
(そして肌に新たな星座を描いた)
By morning every milestone wore a bloom
(朝にはすべての道標が花をまとい)
By evening even strangers called it home
(夕べには見知らぬ者さえその地を故郷と呼んだ)

消された記憶を掲げ
(Bear aloft the memories they erased)
この荒野に季節を描く
(Paint the seasons upon this wilderness)

Radiant exile, carry what they banned
(輝ける追放者よ 彼らが禁じたものを携えよ)
Scatter living colors over salt-white land
(塩のように白き大地へ命ある色を解き放て)
Radiant exile, let the distance know
(輝ける追放者よ 遥かな地平に知らしめよ)
Every measured order fades where wild hues grow
(奔放な色が芽吹く地では尺度に縛られた秩序はすべて色褪せる)
Radiant exile, every mark I bear
(輝ける追放者よ この身に刻まれた傷のすべてが)
Turns the vacant heavens into painted air
(虚ろな天を彩りの空へと塗り替える)
Strike me from the ledger, drive me from their gates
(名簿から私を消し門の外へ追いやるがいい)
I will build a homeland from the colors they erased
(彼らが消した色から私は故郷を築こう)

Far behind us, monochrome alarms
(遥か後方で色なき警鐘が鳴り響き)
Call the absent citizens by number
(姿を消した市民を番号で呼び立てる)
Yet the walls begin to gather stains
(それでも壁には色の染みが広がり始める)
Fingerprints of saffron, teal, and umber
(番紅花の黄と青緑と赤褐色の指紋)
Every guard who looks beyond the gate
(門の彼方を見つめる衛兵は皆)
Sees a road no ordinance can narrow
(いかなる法令にも狭められぬ道を見る)
One by one they leave their uniforms
(彼らはひとりまたひとりと制服を脱ぎ捨て)
Following the flight of painted arrows
(彩られた矢の軌跡を追ってゆく)

No seal of ink
(いかなる墨の封印も)
No rule of white
(いかなる白の掟も)
Can halt the colors
(止めることはできない)
Behind our eyes
(私たちの瞳の奥に宿る色彩を)

名もなき色よ走れ
(Race onward nameless colors)
閉ざされた地図を越えて
(Beyond the sealed map)
名もなき声よ響け
(Ring out nameless voices)
新しい空を選べ
(Choose a new sky)

Radiant exile, open every hand
(輝ける追放者よ すべての手を開け放て)
Pour the stolen colors through the sleeping land
(奪われた色を眠れる大地の隅々へ注ぎ込め)
Radiant exile, now the borders fade
(輝ける追放者よ 今や境界は消えゆく)
Every banished vision redraws what power made
(追放されたすべてのまなざしが権力の築いた世界を描き直す)
Radiant exile, hear the old streets call
(輝ける追放者よ 古き街路が呼ぶ声を聞け)
As a million colors climb the courthouse wall
(百万の色が法廷の壁を駆け上がる時)
They denied our names and drove us from their sight
(彼らは私たちの名を否みその目の届かぬ場所へ追いやった)
Now the world remakes itself beyond their black and white
(今や世界は彼らの白と黒を超え自らを創り直す)

At dawn no single color owns the sky
(夜明けの空はもはやただひとつの色には支配されない)
And exile is the name of where we fly
(そして追放こそが私たちの翔ける世界の名となる)

Prompt

Create a high velocity symphonic power metal anthem titled Radiant Exile. Drive it with double time motion at 206 BPM, relentless kicks, sharp gallops, and airborne riffs. Begin with a prism like synth figure, struck strings, and breathy choir, then cut into the full band. Keep verses lean and urgent with clipped vocals, tight guitars and firm bass. Let each pre chorus climb through rising harmony, then open the chorus into a vast, memorable melody built around the title. Add a short post chorus with a wordless female choir hook. After the second chorus, use a fast chase between violin, guitar, and crystalline synth. Follow with a compact half time breakdown, then accelerate through a transitional refrain into the final chorus. Add counterpoint vocals and a higher lead line without crowding the mix. Keep production radiant, punchy, wide, and clean, with crisp transients, controlled lows, and restrained reverb. Balance danger with exhilaration as forbidden color returns to a gray world.
