Lyrics

Under the mountain where daylight was chained
(日の光が鎖されし山の下で)
I found a stair cut deeper than kings
(王たちの眠りよりも深く穿たれた階段を見つけた)
Ash slept cold on the faces of saints
(聖者たちの顔には冷たい灰が眠っていた)
Roots held the doors of a vanished hall
(根は失われた広間の扉を固く抱いていた)
I carried no torch through the buried court
(埋もれた宮廷を進む私の手に松明はなかった)
A pale warmth moved beneath the stone
(淡い温もりが石の下を流れていた)
Dust lifted slowly around my hands
(塵が私の手の周りで静かに舞い上がった)
As if the dark had learned my name
(まるで闇が私の名を覚えたかのように)

眠りの底で光が揺れる
(Light trembles in the depths of sleep)
閉ざされた空が胸に近づく
(The sealed sky draws closer to my heart)
古い祈りが石を離れて
(Ancient prayers rise free from the stone)
まだ見ぬ朝へと昇ってゆく
(And ascend toward a dawn yet unseen)

Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
深い闇から空を呼び戻せ
(Call the sky back from the depths of darkness)
Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
Let the sealed horizon open wide
(封じられた地平を広く解き放て)
灰に沈んだ名を照らし出し
(Bring to light the names sunken in ash)
傷ついた大地を越えてゆけ
(Cross the wounded earth and press onward)
Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
We rise where the lost light begins
(失われた光の源で私たちは立ち上がる)

Beyond the pillars the old crown remained
(柱列の彼方には古き王冠だけが残っていた)
Black with the smoke of a thousand years
(千年の煙に黒く染まり)
Its final soldiers were statues of salt
(最後の兵たちは塩の像と化していた)
Facing a dawn they were ordered to fear
(恐れよと命じられてきた夜明けを見つめて)
Then a widening glow rose through the floor
(やがて広がる光が床を貫いて昇った)
Gold found the edges of every blade
(すべての刃の縁に黄金の光が宿った)
One by one all the carved eyes opened
(彫り刻まれた瞳がひとつずつ開き)
Watching the kingdom return to flame
(王国が再び炎を宿すさまを見つめていた)

ひび割れた壁に朝が満ちる
(Morning floods the fractured walls)
眠れる川が光を映す
(The sleeping river mirrors the light)
埋もれた声が重なり合い
(Buried voices gather and intertwine)
失われた空へ手を伸ばす
(They reach toward the sky that was lost)

眠れる太陽よ 今目を覚ませ
(Sleeping sun awaken now)
閉ざされた夜を内側から裂け
(Tear the sealed night open from within)
Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
Carry the hidden fire beyond the tomb
(隠された炎を墓の彼方へ運べ)
消えた季節を大地へ返し
(Return the vanished seasons to the earth)
名もなき命を光へ導け
(Guide the nameless lives into the light)
Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
The buried world is turning toward the dawn
(埋もれた世界は今 夜明けへ向かい始める)

At the final gate the warmth disappeared
(最後の門で温もりは消え去った)
Only a red line lived under the floor
(ただ一本の赤い光だけが床下で脈打っていた)
I touched the stone and the whole vault answered
(私が石に触れると地下の大広間全体が応えた)
Not with a voice but a change in the air
(声ではなく空気そのものを震わせて)
Above us the ruined towers waited
(頭上では崩れた塔々が待ち続け)
Below us the hidden fire drew near
(足元では隠された炎が近づいていた)
For one long moment the world stood weightless
(永い一瞬 世界は重さを失い)
Then every shadow turned toward the east
(やがてすべての影が東を向いた)

音のない底へ光が沈む
(Light sinks into the soundless depths)
指先だけが温もりを知る
(Only my fingertips know the warmth)
砕けた王座の向こう側で
(Beyond the shattered throne)
朝は静かに息をしている
(Morning breathes in silence)

The dark grows thin around the buried flame
(埋もれた炎の周りで闇は薄れてゆく)
I see the first gold under broken stone
(砕けた石の下に黄金の兆しが見える)
No throne can hold what the earth remembers
(大地が記憶するものを封じ込められる王座などない)
The sealed horizon begins to breathe
(封じられた地平が息づき始める)

Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
天を覆った影を焼き払え
(Burn away the shadow that veiled the heavens)
Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
Let every buried river find the light
(埋もれたすべての川に光への道を開け)
灰の王国が崩れ落ちても
(Even if the kingdom of ash falls to ruin)
その向こうに新しい朝が生まれる
(Beyond it a new morning will be born)
Wake the buried sun
(葬られし太陽よ 目覚めよ)
Carry our names beyond the final night
(最後の夜を越えて私たちの名を運べ)
目覚めた光よ世界を貫け
(Awakened light pierce the world)
We rise beneath a sky no grave can close
(いかなる墓にも閉ざせぬ空の下で私たちは立ち上がる)

The mountain opens to the morning
(山が朝へとその身を開く)
眠りの底から風が昇る
(A wind rises from the depths of sleep)
The old crown fades behind us
(古き王冠は私たちの背後で薄れてゆく)
太陽は再び空へ還る
(The sun returns to the sky once more)

Prompt

Fast symphonic melodic metal with a long-form arc driven by double-bass propulsion, galloping riffs, and soaring melodic lift. Use female clean vocals and high-tone male power vocals as equal co-leads, trading English and Japanese across sections and joining in choruses. Open with a buried, rising four-note string motif under restrained tension, then let the full band seize it without losing clarity. Keep sections stable long enough for identity to register before each transition. Preserve forward motion through sparse passages with a low pedal, harmony, and restrained pulse. Reintroduce the central motif at key returns in altered orchestration rather than copying the same texture. Let the late contrast fall to near-silence before a double-time reactivation. Favor bittersweet heroic melodies, harmonized leads, grand symphonic lift, and a final chorus that expands emotionally without masking the main hook. Keep dynamics varied, transitions purposeful, and melodic hierarchy unmistakable.
