Lyrics

(And in the darkness, that didn’t have a name...
The story revolving around “Halloween and the Night”... was about to begin quietly...)

The people
who forwarded in the dark.
The solitary man was looking at them.

He sang the love song,
or only sounded the lung song.
Oh! And the wind buried it so in vain.

《愛しい人よ》･･･　もう一度･･･　君に会いたいと願う･･･
この想いは･･･　《赦されざる罪悪》なのか･･･
あの行列に着いて往けば･･･　辿り着ける･･･　だろうか･･･

(The story of Halloween and the Night.
The early 19th century
There was an eccentric man who sailed from Great Britain to Ireland
As if to go against the new wave of the industrial revolution)

石工の爺が吹き込まれた　←　農夫に成りゃ飯に困らないと
とち狂って･･･　海渡って･･･　鍬を持ったとさ･･･

下手な石工なんてロクなもんじゃねぇ　→　それでも農夫よりゃマシなもんだろぅ
天に祈って･･･　鍬を取って･･･　土耕しても･･･

微笑んでくれたのは不幸ばかり　必死に育てたジャガ芋は腐り
真っ黒なドロドロの毒に変わり
【爺の孫にあたる男】は寄辺なく天を仰いだ･･････

(The tickets that they got for by betting their lives
Were those one-way tickets for their liberty
or for their deaths?)

OK!　イチかバチか　命を賭けた博打だ　Wowow!
乗り込んだ　揺れすぎる　襤褸すぎる　熱病蔓延る棺桶船　Jesus!

《希望》を抱いたまま『第二の囚人』となる･･･
五人いりゃその中で一人は･･･
高熱に浮かされたままで《幻想》を見る･･･

And they were gone far away...

《明白なる天命》

(They dreamed, the country of liberty.
That principle was the cause of a great number of battlefields.
Like which we sing about.)

まさに「パンのあるところに祖国あり」
押し寄せた　移民の群れは　新天地に　夢を賭けた
そして「神が与え給うた運命」と
《辺境》を　馬と銃で　西方へと追いやった･･････

(In 1846
The Mexican-American war broke out)

《見晴らしの良い丘》では　猛る《竜騎兵》
鍬を捨てた手で　《小銃》を取った

同胞としての意識とは　何処にあるのだろう？
――人種･･･　信仰･･･　国籍･･･　etc...
【移民の男】は《聖書》よりも《実利ある日々の糧》を選んだ
そして･･･　《聖パトリック大隊所属の同胞》　彼等を撃ち殺した･･･

「第」→「八」→「の」→「軌」→「跡」

《明白なる天命》

(1848
The rush for the gold
Yes! Let’s go dig!)

洞穴　→　掘っても　→　掘っても　→　掘っても　→　キリがないっ！
嗚呼･･･　悲惨な　→　或いは　→　愉快な　→　視界は　→　奇怪な事態！
必死に　→　振っても　→　振っても　→　振っても　→　キンが出るっ！
嗚呼･･･　悲惨な　→　訳ない　→　愉快な　→　世界は　→　未開な時代っ！

根こそぎ　→　掘り出せ　←　『第七の衝動』は唄う
《金鉱脈大盤振る舞い》だよっ！　全員集合っ！　《４９年組》！

(Whenever the era of frenzied uproar
People never ever stop their steps
Even though they had much contradiction
While he was messed around by severe fate
Where would the man drift to?)

弱い者集まれば　より弱い者を叩く
何処まで『第三の深意に従っても』　差別はある

人は誰もが弱く　臆病だから瞳を閉じる
『第九の現実』など　見たくはない

流れ弾に当たり　膝を砕かれ
まともな職にも就けず　【退役した男】は流浪の酒浸り･･････

(The life
It seems to be a long but a short story
It attempts to notify the one ending or beginning)

いつ死んだっていい･･･　そう思って生きてきた･･･
【流浪の男】にもひとつ･･･　気掛かりがあった･･･
それは《故郷》に残してきた･･･　可愛い妹･･･
なけなしの《賃金》で･･･　仕送りは続けた――

そんな【妹う思いな男】にもやがて･･･　恋人が出来た･･･
月の様に微笑む･･･　気立ての良い《女性》･･･
ある日「良い《報告》があるわ♪」と･･･　お腹に手を当てて･･･
月を経た祝福･･･　唇を重ねた――

されど『第六の女神』は彼を･･･　見逃しはしない･･･
月のない夜に･･･　『第四の仮面のように』刺された――

今はまだ死にたくない･･･　本気でそう思った･･･
ツキのない《博打人生》･･･　勝負はこれからだと言うのに･･･
今際･･･　立ち去った影は･･･　破落戸の《野心家》･･･
ツキ合いたい女･･･　ハメる為の手筈――

こんな悲惨な夜なのに･･･　星はとても綺麗で･･･
遠くで無邪気な笑い声･･･
嗚呼･･･　今日は《万聖節の前夜》――

これが名も無き《死にやく男》の･･･　知られざる『第五の物語』･･･
シェイマスだが･･･　ウィリアムだが･･･
もう･･･　遠い昔のことさ･･･

祈りを幾度なく捧げてきたけれど　結局･･･　『第十の意志』は黙したまま･･･
何となく幸せな『第一の追憶』もあったけれど　結局･･･　人生なんてロクなもんじゃねぇ･･････
