Wrath

[Zorn]

“A church with no visitors. A journeying violinist.
A crucified female saint who became a statue.
Why did you cross this border?
Come, try to sing...”

It has come! The fated time! It has come! The promised time!
[Es kam! Zeit des schicksals. Es kam! Zeit des Versprechens.]

“Come, your father is waiting.”

I proceed with determined, gray footsteps
I feel a gust of wind in my back, and turn around just once

The scent of dusk is strangely nostalgic
Yes, I even felt like it was giving me a push

I tremble alone at the surging sadness, tracing a distant promise

promise

At the ends of a fragile, twisted time of welling hatred; I stared at darkness with a kiss
Ah   still empty   still faded   twisted   ah   gathering sins   with a kiss

Even    now    I don’t forget
Even    now    I don’t remember

“Your Highness, I’ve brought the lady.”
“Elisabeth. Be glad! Your husband has been decided!
The one who proposed is Rhein Pfalz.
He’s a dream come true for a spinster like you, isn’t he?”
“Pardon my words, brother.”
“How many times do I have to tell you to call me father!?”
“No, brother, I have no intention of marrying anyone!”

If I have to live on while faking love
Then I don’t mind dying with the truth

I wished for the wild roses we found
To embrace you, so I planted them around the grave
But even at the very end, they didn’t bloom, did they...

The white bird in the birdcage that fell in love with the moonlight
Even knowing that it’d fall to the ground, would flap its wings till the very end
So what I’m singing at dusk is not a song of grudge...
(“Walter. You and Mother even faked your identities to protect her, and this is how it ends.”
“Your Highness...” “Hahahaha! Crucify that foolish girl.”
“Your Highness!”)

“I see. So that’s how you were crucified.
You did well in following your own will till the very end.
But would he really have wished for that at the cost of your own life?
Whatever. Now, let the revenge tragedy begin...!”

“No. I don’t wish for any of that.
Everyone has their own circumstances and fates to bear.
You came to see me. I’m happy with that alone.
Hey, do you really not remember? Those days that seem so bright even now.”

“...I’m really excited now.
Because the forest – the world is so wide!”

“What a pretty flower.”
“Woah, really!”
“I’ll put it in your hair.”
“You would? Make it cute.”
“It fits you.”
“Really?”

“Mär, make sure you’ll come for me!”
“Yes, I promise you.”

“Mär, you kept your promise, didn’t you? Even going as far as that...”

The cold chains that bind you, who have lost your flame[light]
(“Oh, the great female saint!” ”So it was true.” “With this, your sins are..”)
Are the love and hatred of the two who thought of you, who have lost love[light] to death

The bird takes towards the sky, and the corpse returns to earth, continuing to betray providence
The day breaks towards the morning of end, and our next parting is forever-

But...

I don’t regret this at all, ah , this is my life
Not《A Noble Lady》[von Wettin], nor《The Daughter of the 7th Elector》[von Sachsen],
I am 《just a girl》[Elisabeth]
Just the one who loved only you...
Just【Elisabeth】

“What now, Mär, you’ve been acting strange since a while ago. What’s wrong?
You can’t take that woman’s words seriously! Let’s just forget about her!
We have to continue our revenge. No matter what.
That’s the reason for our existence, isn’t it!?
Hey, do you really get it, Mär!?”

“Aaaaaaah! For crying out loud! Why won’t you understand?! Mär, you blockhead!
Right now, only I am your Elise!
We’ve had lots of fun, haven’t we!?
We helped take lots of revenges, didn’t we!?
It’s only going to get more fun. That’s right, of course that’s right.
You have me, and I have you!
Let’s continue! Let’s keep this up, the two of us! Hey!!
Let’s keep this up for ever and ever and ever and ever!!
Until this world ends, no, even if the world ends,
Let’s be together for ever and ever! Hey, no, no Mär,
No, don’t don’t don’t! Please, please, Mär...nooooooooooooooooo!!!”

“It’s alright, Elise...”
