lyrics

The demons sang to me
Before your waking
A song that lingers on and on
Kept changing keys, but sang
For years to make me
A martyr of the arcane

What will I
Become if not
A catalyst
For this stagnant world?

You joined me in my prime,
Played to those demons
We put our strengths in harmony,
But when my faith grew deep,
Your lie grew pale with
The unknown end impending

Your serpentine
Facade became
The blackened soul
I wish I knew you for

Soon you’ll understand me
I’m the joke that fights on
Years pass, but I won’t fade
I’m that lingering song

A righteous king of me
Your trust let me be
Took to the solace of our fate

The poet’s words stand tall
Your curse provoked him
The realms have now awakened

You’re too scared
Of being feared,
And now you’ll judge
The way they all do

パタラの水に侵していた人は罰から脱出できない
[The people who invade the waters of Patala cannot escape punishment]

See me ever stronger,
Now more gods to consume
Chafing your unbound skin,
Sucking life from what’s left

Do you understand me?
I’m the truth that fights on
Years pass but I won’t wane
I’m that lingering flame

You can’t wish the best for us
When you left us at the peak
You can’t wish the best for us
When you still can’t take ownership of your faults
