Lyrics

ワタシは『《第七の書庫》』から其の地平線に《意識と呼ばれるモノ》を接続した･･･

【彼女】の許には、然る権力者との縁談が舞い込んでいた。 しかし、女は其れが許されざる境遇に在ると識りながら、尚も頑なに受け入れなかった。 後の世に《童話》と呼ばれる、お伽話のような運命的な出会い。 女は、初恋と名付けた其の淡く幼い想いに殉じ、磔にされてしまう･･････。
此の悲劇の結末を左←→右すると予想される《因子》。 ワタシは【彼女】のad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4aを【否定】してみた･･･
さて。箱の中の猫は、生きているのか？　死んでいるのか？　其れでは、檻の中を覗いてみよう――

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
宵闇の空に･･･　見上げた月が･･･ 何処か懐かしく･･･
不意に何故か･･･　ひとすじの《雫》

降り注ぎ･･･　浮かび上がる･･･　駆け抜けた《追憶》の《幻燈》
人差し指で･･･　掬い上げた･･･　矛盾を《否定する》ように呟いた･･･
私･･･　幸せだと･･･

(What really was the moonlight for her?
The unknown lady, who lived outside the pages of "Marchen".
She is the "Nein".)

凛と冷たい　静謐な朝の空気
差し込む光　独り切る十字

祈りを捧げる　充ち足りた幸せ
感じながらも　ふと顧みる――

貴族の《婚姻》は　儚い《一夜の幻想》
踊る相手も選べぬまま
世俗の《権力争い》に　組み込まれて
狭い鳥籠で　《生涯》を終える･･････

その檻の中から　抜け出したのは　自分の意思などではなく
唯･･･　《役に立たない欠陥品》のように　処分されただけ･･････

「被告として駆り出された法廷。
それは、名ばかりの離婚裁判で。
裁判長のはじめ陪席者に至るまで、
《ライン宮中伯》の息が掛かった者達\Nばかりだった。」

「跡継ぎをもたらす事のない魔女。
邪魔者を離縁する為の茶番。
有る事、無い事、並べ立て、貶められ、
「婚姻の無効」だと断罪された。」

子を生せぬ女は　唯それだけで　罪だと言うのなら
そんな【第九の現実】に　未練などないわ　却って済々するわ
こちらから願い下げだわ！

速攻　→　激昂　→　選帝侯　←　月光が見てた･･････

「お年を召した方の朝はいつもお早いことっ‼」

飾り立てた悪意を　背中で受け流す
花嫁修業の修道生活　模範的な貴族の子女にとって
私は最低の模範解答　忌避すべき最悪の未来

女の《出産適齢期》は　短い《一瞬の季節》
瞬く合間に通り過ぎる
刹那の《価値観》に　弄ばれ
狭い《然れど本質的な同調圧力》で　《生涯》を縛る･･････

その檻の中から　抜け出して　自分の意思で羽撃ける
そんな《女性にとって自由な時》が何時か来るのでしょうか？

お寝坊さん達が起きて来て　また新しい朝が始まるわ
駆け寄って口接ける三つの　唇から紡がれる二つの
「《大好き♪》」

嗚呼･･･　親に疎まれ　託された可哀想な　天使達は
皆･･･　無邪気に笑うけれど――

一人は耳に　一人は目に　そして
一人は喉に　重い障碍があった･･････

嗚呼･･･　優しさを産む　母は強さではなく　痛みなのだ
寧ろ　強さはその娘

信仰の薄い《腰掛け見習い修道女》に　捨て子と揶揄されても
「平気っ、エリーゼ･ムッティがいるからっ！」

於呼･･･　主よ･･･　愛とは何の為に･･･
母性とは誰の為に･･･　あるのでしょうか？

於呼･･･　主よ･･･　生とは何の為に･･･
血縁とは誰の為に･･･　あるのでしょうか？

「後悔などしていないわ。　嗚呼･･･　これが私の人生。
《特別に慕われるような聖女》でも、
《格別に憎まれるような魔女》でもないわ。
私は【一人の女】。
唯の【同じ生の哀しみを抱いた隣人を愛する一人の人間】」

宵闇の空に･･･　見上げた月が･･･　何処か懐かしく･･･

不意に何故か･･･　ひとすじの《雫》

From <The Seventh Archive>, I have established a connection between <what could be called consciousness> and the seventh horizon...

[She] received a marriage proposal from a certain man in power. However, the woman would stubbornly refuse that proposal even though she knew that she was in no position to do that. A fated, dreamlike meeting that later generations would call <a fairytale>. The woman would die, crucified on a cross, for staying true to her young, faint feelings towards her first love...
The <factor> that was predicted to change the outcome of this tragedy - I attempted a [denial] of [her] ad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4a. Well then. Is the cat within the box alive, or is it dead? Let us take a peek inside the cage...

Forget Not this Moonlit Night

I look up to the moon in the sky at dusk...and feel a sense of nostalgia...
All of a sudden...a single <droplet>[raindrop] falls...

It trails down my cheek...and my mind is filled with the <phantom lights>[lights] of <remembrance>[the past]...
I gently wiped it away with my fingertip...and whispered to myself, to <deny> this contradiction...
I am...happy...

What really was the moonlight to her?
She unknown lady, who lived outside the pages of Märchen.
She is the Nein.

The cold, dignified air of a tranquil morning
All alone in the rays of the sun, I make the sign of the cross

I offer my prayers, indulging in this sense of fulfillment
And a moment of retrospection-

The <marriage>[banquet] of nobles are but a transient <fantasy of one night>[dream]
Left with no choice for our partner in dance
Used as a piece in a worldy <battle for power>[game]
I end my <life> in a small birdcage....

I did not gain release from that cage out of my own will
I was simply disposed of, like <a defective object that no longer serves its purpose>[trash]...

I was brought to court as the accused.
It was a divorce trial in name only.
Everyone, from the judge to the observers,
Were all people with connections to <Rhein-Pfarz>[my husband].

A witch who can’t leave behind an heir.
(“If you can’t bear a child, you must be a witch.”)
A farce to get rid of a nuisance.
They made a long list of accusations, a mix of facts and fabrications
And the final verdict was that the marriage was invalid.
(“I declare this marriage to be invalid!”)

If a woman is deemed sinful just because she can’t bear a child
Then I have no attachments to this Ninth Reality[world]; I’m even glad to be rid of it
I don’t want anything to do with it!

Immediately -> the prince-elector -> flies into rage <- and the moonlight watched him...

(“I’ll never forgive you, Elisabeth...never, I say!! How dare you shame me like this!?
And here I was wondering why a spinster like you decided to finally grow up and get married, and this is how it all ends!?
Do you really think you can just waltz back into the house after what you did!?
Just get the hell out and go wherever you want! Curse mother for digging you up and curse your own fate as you die outside!”

“Milady!!!”)

“Elderly people certainly get up early!!”
(The Abbot’s away for some errands,
So we decided amongst ourselves that we’ll skip the morning prayer & worship since we’re sleepy
But this shitty divorced old hag just had to be all serious about it and wake up early
Also, isn’t she rumored to be the abbot’s older sister or something?)

I turn my back and ignore the thinly veiled malice
To the average noble’s daughter who’s here as part of her training to become a bride
I am the worst example of what can occur, a future that must be avoided at all costs

A woman’s <prime time for childbearing>[season] is but a short <transient season>[summer]
It passes by in the blink of an eye
A plaything of short-lived <values>[standards]
My <life> is bound <by the fundamental opinion of the majority>[a small birdcage]...

Will there ever be <an era when women are free> to escape from that cage
And take flight by their own will?

(“Good morning!!!” “Shut up!”)

The sleepyheads finally get out of bed, and another morning begins anew
They run towards me and kiss me good morning, and I hear two voices from three pairs of lips

“I love you!”
(“I told you to shut up!”)

Ah...poor angels, avoided by their parents and left in our care...
(“Angels, who?”)
They all laugh innocently, but-

All of them have severe disabilities
One in the ears, one in the eyes, and the last in the throat-
(“Who cares...”)

Ah....the mother of gentleness is not strength, but suffering
(“What?”)
And strength her daughter
(“They’re just abandoned kids..”)

Even if the <temporary nun-in-training>[girl] with little faith calls them abandoned kids
“We’ll be fine, because we have Elise-mutti!”

Oh...Lord...what purpose does love serve...
And for whom....does motherhood exist?

Oh...Lord...what purpose does life serve...
And for whom...do blood relations exist?

(“I think Saint Maria would be someone like mutti!”
“I think so too!”)

I don’t regret this at all, ah...for this is my life
Neither <a saint especially worthy of admiration>
Nor <a witch especially deserving of hatred>
I am <just a woman>[Elisabeth]

Just [someone who devotes herself to loving her neighbours who have suffered similar sadness in life][Elisabeth]

I look up to the moon in the sky at dusk...and feel a sense of nostalgia...
All of a sudden...a single <droplet>[raindrop] falls...
