Lyrics
Embraced by a pleasant breeze, she rises up to the clear sky
Someone..is crying...
Is that my imagination? (Yes, indeed it is) Geez...it's not that! (Then it's just a trick of the wind)
You don’t cry in paradise (No, you don’t cry) Since it's paradise, after all! (It's paradise, after all)
Someone is crying...somewhere...
Pain and suffering? (We don't have any of that here) A world overflowing with happiness? (Yes, that's paradise)
You don’t cry in paradise (Yes, so don't cry) Since it's paradise, after all! (Because it's paradise)
Actually...I know...
The fourth horizon, the true face of paradise...
The sky is barren, the trees withered, and flowers crumbled away
The rotten land falls to the very depths of darkness
El is born, El suffers, and El is the end of desires
Seeking a calm sleep, she falls with a smile...
“Ark”
Wishes that are entrusted to the ark...
“Baroque”
Seek each other like a twisted love...
“Yield”
All whilst waiting upon the ideal harvest...
“Sacrifice”
Continuing to blindly pay great sacrifices...
“Stardust”
Shall eventually extend their hands towards stardust...
If one falls straight down, without being tempted by the four《Paradises》[El] in between
《Hell》[Abyss] is right there
Where do we come from, where are we going? Is this all someone's dream?
Falling without ever noticing the extended hand...
El is tired, El mourns, and El is the abyss of wishes
Seeking a calm sleep, she falls with a smile...
A fantasy leading towards decadence. A romance continuing to weave sins.
Sadness borne to embrace pain.
Gates that are opened over and over again, the fourth horizon-
The paradise's name is『Elysion』, its alternate name,『Abyss』-
Translated by Defade.
