Lyrics
The Breath of Atonement and <Flame>
The brighter the sun shines down,
The darker the shadows it casts.
What kind of epilogue will the interpretation of the Laurants bring about?
I was never all that healthy as a child
But I’ve always dreamed of being a mother of a big family
So why wasn’t I able to protect <the child that was a blessing for me, yet a stroke of misfortune to others>[my first child]?
The color of an unforgivable sin - a blue spring
I will bear this sin my entire life
And live in repentance, abandoning all notions of lament
The mornings I dreamt of
And the sleepless nights
Are all your stories
I want to remain as a mother
That doesn’t curse her own fate
I thought that having a new child
Was an act of betrayal against my previous one
But after many repeating mornings and nights...
I realized that giving the [utmost happiness]
To my new child
Would be the truest form of atonement
Perhaps my wishes on the Ema reached the gods, but my pregnancy was going miraculously well.
“If the gods were to kill 1000 people, then you just need to give birth to 1500!”
Says my life’s partner with a laugh, a husband in all but name
“Since when did this become mythology!?”
-Things were smooth sailing,
And I found myself so happy that I could even make these jokes
After
going
straight
down
this
slope
That I’ve tread on countless times
It’s time to wage a war I cannot afford to lose
Within these white walls
Intermittent...pangs of pain...increased their frequency...
As well as their intensity...I knew the time was near...
Even if this were to last till this long night turns to dawn
There is no pain too much for a mother to bear
All of this suffering and all of this sadness
The pain of overcoming thousands of nights
Are all for this day
My abdomen feels like it’s burning
And...with my...fading consciousness..
I feel...your breath...
“Good morning…Homura...”
(The brighter the sun shines down,
The darker the shadows it casts.

子供の頃から あまり丈夫な方では なかったけれど
将来の夢は 大家族のお母さんに なることだった
それなのに
《私にとっては幸運の、しかし周りにとっては不幸の子》を
守れなかったのは何故?
赦されざる咎の色 青い春
私は生涯 この罪を背負ったまま
生きるでしょう 償うでしょう 泣き言はもう捨てよう
夢見た朝
眠れぬ夜
全てアナタの 物語
運命を 呪わない 母親でいたい
新しい子を生すことは あの子への裏切りだと
思っていた 朝と夜を繰り返し
あの子の分まで 新しい子を
唯...【幸0304にする事】こそが 本当の償いだと悟った
〔願ひ〕が神々に届いたのか、
我が子の経過は
奇跡的なまでに順調だった
「もし、神が1000人殺すなら、
1500人産めば良いさ！」
──と《内縁の夫》は笑った
「って何神話のスケール感だに！」
──だなんてツッコめる程
順調で 幸0304だった
通い慣れた坂道を 真っ直ぐに下れば
負けられない戦場の 白い壁
断続的... 疼くような痛み... その周期も...
段々短くなり... 痛みも激しくなり... 時が迫る...
長い夜が 白み始めても
母親には 堪えられない──痛みなどない!
全ての苦しみも 全ての悲しみも
幾千の夜を越えてきた痛みは この日の為に
下腹部が燃えるように熱い
薄れゆく... 意識の中で...
アナタの息吹を
(「おはよう... ほむら...」)
(The brighter the sun shines down,
The darker the shadows it casts.
