Lyrics

We crossed a white wasteland where the tide had turned to glass
(潮が硝子と化した白き荒野を我らは越えた)
Salt crowned the dunes like old bones under a merciless moon
(無慈悲な月の下 塩は古い骨のごとく砂丘に冠していた)
Seals of ash were buried beneath the caravan tracks
(灰の封印は隊商の踏み跡の下に埋もれていた)
And every ruined banner pointed toward a hidden vault of fire
(そして朽ち果てた旗はみな 隠された炎の宝蔵を指し示していた)

白い砂が過去を飲み込む
(White sand swallows the past)
眠った声が掌で目を覚ます
(A sleeping voice awakens in the palm of the hand)

Saltbound prophecy calls from the buried shrine
(塩に縛られし予言が埋もれた聖殿より呼びかける)
We follow the burn of the script beneath the skin
(我らは皮膚の奥に刻まれた文の灼ける痛みを追う)
When the storm carves gold through the silent wasteland
(嵐が静寂の荒野を裂き 黄金の筋を刻むとき)
We raise our hands and let the forbidden tide begin
(我らは手を掲げ 禁じられた潮の始まりを赦す)

Glass wells reflected a sky without mercy or mercy’s twin
(玻璃の井戸は慈悲もその双生児さえ持たぬ空を映していた)
Nomad drums were stitched with prayers and broken keys
(遊牧の太鼓は祈りと壊れた鍵で縫い合わされていた)
A blind oracle sang from inside a furnace of shells
(盲目の神託者は貝殻の炉の奥で歌っていた)
Saying the lost would be crowned by the dust they once rejected
(失われし者はかつて拒んだ塵によって王冠を戴くのだと)

届かぬ願いも風に消えはしない
(Even unreachable wishes do not vanish into the wind)
乾いた胸にまだ誓いは残る
(A vow still remains within the parched heart)

Break the salt seal
(塩の封印を打ち砕け)
Split the sealed earth
(封じられた大地を裂け)
Drag the hidden ember up from the deep below
(深淵の底から、隠された残り火を引きずり出せ)
Let the old law crack
(古き法よ、砕け散れ)
Let the judges fall
(裁く者たちよ、墜ちよ)
We are the march of the unnamed and the unforgotten
(我らは、名もなき者と忘れられぬ者の行進だ)

The desert remembers every footprint
(砂漠はあらゆる足跡を覚えている)
Even the ones that vanish
(たとえ消え去ったものさえも)

Saltbound prophecy calls from the buried shrine
(塩に縛られし予言が埋もれた聖殿より呼びかける)
We follow the burn of the script beneath the skin
(我らは皮膚の奥に刻まれた文の灼ける痛みを追う)
When the storm carves gold through the silent wasteland
(嵐が静寂の荒野を裂き 黄金の筋を刻むとき)
We raise our hands and let the forbidden tide begin
(我らは手を掲げ 禁じられた潮の始まりを赦す)

Saltbound prophecy crown the broken road
(塩に縛られし予言よ 砕かれた道に王冠を授けよ)
Every lost name rises in the halo of the storm
(失われた名はすべて嵐の光輪のうちに立ち上がる)
We carry the ember through the ash of the old world
(我らは旧き世界の灰を越え 残り火を運ぶ)
And step into the fire where our true days are born
(そして真の時代が生まれる炎の中へ踏み出す)

Prompt

Create a melodic symphonic metal track for lyric video retention. Tempo 228 BPM. The feeling is salt, fate, and stormlit destiny, as if a lost fleet marches through a winter sea. Start with wind, gulls, choir haze, and a modal guitar phrase that sounds ancient. When the full band enters, unleash galloping drums, rapid double bass, tight palm muted rhythm guitars, and soaring harmonized leads. Verses should feel tense and nautical, with restrained orchestration, narrow stereo imaging, and a clear forward vocal. Pre choruses must lift like gathering tide, adding strings, tom pulses, and rising counter melodies. Choruses must explode into huge gang vocals, cathedral choir layers, and a memorable anthem hook. Use one dramatic breakdown with crushing low chugs and ritual percussion, then return with a final chorus that feels victorious and fated. Keep the mix bright, powerful, clean, with strong transients, ambience, and cinematic sense of cold waters, broken crowns, and prophecy fulfilled.
