Requiem〜世界は終わり、そして始まる〜
Sponsored by: Jamboneater
Notes:
There is a lot in this song that is hard to make sense of, but if you consider a figure like Yamame lingering within the route between the surface and subterranean hell, reflecting on those who come and go and the state of matters within the earth, it’s a little more cohesive.

眠れ 眠れ 時よ 止まれ 静かに
底深くに 宿れ 未知の誘い
ゆらぎ ゆらぎ 堕ちる 招かざるとも
異として その御霊は 天を目指した
nemure nemure toki yo tomare shizuka ni
soko fukaku ni yadore michi no izanai
yuragi yuragi ochiru manekazaru tomo
i to shite sono mitama wa ten’ wo mezashita
Sleep, sleep… Time, rest thy march and be still…
Descend into the depths of the earth yet unknown…
Swaying, swaying… While the many fall uninvited,
Among them, one soul reached instead for the heavens…
燃ゆる陽 目指して 幾千 永久の闇を抱えて
贖う 現世の記憶に 「さあ 今、お行きなさい」
moyuru hi mezashite ikusen’ towa no yami wo kakaete
aganau gen’se no kioku ni “sa, ima o-yuki nasai”
To whom hath sought the burning sun for thousands of years, burdened with eternal darkness—
—in order to repent thy sin, O memory of the upper world, I say, “go forth, and be well”
地に眠る瞳は 一筋の涙だけ
閉ざされた心が 揺れ動くと信じてた
chi ni nemuru hitomi wa hitosuji no namida dake
tozasareta kokoro ga yureugoku to shin’jiteta
For every tear shed from that eye, which sleeps beneath the earth
I believed her shuttered heart would be, ever so slightly, moved…
何も 見えぬ 世界 「置いてかないで」
熱を帯びた 羽が 未知へ誘う
忌むべき その力 抑え込まれて
箍に包み隠し 調和と呼んだ
nani mo mienu sekai “oitekanaide”
netsu wo obita hane ga michi e izanau
imubeki sono chikara osaekomarete
taga ni tsutsumikakushi chouwa to yon’da
In this world without sight, she implores, “do not leave me behind”
Whilst feverish wings beckon ever toward the unknown
That detestable power of hers forced inward,
Bound and hidden away for a façade of fragile harmony
燃ゆる炎 焦がれた地霊は 永久の意味を抱えて
尽きない 時間に震えた 「さあ 今 お行きなさい」
moyuru hi akogareta chirei wa towa no imi wo kakaete
tsukinai jikan’ ni furueta “saa, ima o-yuki nasai”
To whom hath yearned for the burning flame burdened with eternal meaning—
—shivering through boundless ages, O spirit of the earth, I say, “go forth and be well”
地を統べる瞳は ただ 何も知らぬよう
閉ざされた心で 揺れ動くと信じてた
燃ゆる 煉獄 沈んだ 「ここが最後で構わない…」
地に眠る全ては 天の光憎んでいた
chi wo suberu hitomi wa tada nani mo shiranu you
tozasareta kokoro de yureugoku to shin’jiteta
moyuru ren’goku shizun’da “koko ga saigo de kamawanai…”
chi ni nemuru subete wa ten’ no hikari nikun’deita
That eye, which rules the lower earth, seems to know not—
—but I believed her shuttered heart would be, ever so slightly, moved…
Those whom hath sunk into flaming purgatory, saying “no matter if this is the end…”
Indeed, all ye who sleep within the earth, hath hated the light of the heavens…
教えて 空の色を 投げかけた言葉は…
途切れて届かないと知らなかった あの日まで
oshiete sora no iro wo nagekaketa kotoba wa…
togirete todokanai to shiranakatta ano hi made
“Tell me the color of the sky,” I said to thee…
Knowing not my words would fail to reach you, until that day…
あの燃ゆる陽 目指して 幾千 永久の闇を抱えて
贖う 現世の記憶に 「さあ 今、お行きなさい」
ano moyuru hi mezashite ikusen’ towa no yami wo kakaete
aganau gen’se no kioku ni “saa, ima o-yuki nasai”
To whom hath sought the burning sun for thousands of years, burdened with eternal darkness—
—in order to repent thy sin, O memory of the upper world, I say, “go forth, and be well”
地に眠る瞳は 一筋の涙だけ
地を統べる瞳は ただ 何も知らぬよう…
chi ni nemuru hitomi wa hitosuji no namida dake
chi wo suberu hitomi wa tada nani mo shiranu you…
For every tear shed from that eye, which sleeps beneath the earth
That eye, which rules the lower earth, seems to know not…
