Lyrics

Otte no kage wo furikiru you kurai mori wo kakenukeru yo

Oshika ga michi wo sashi shimesu you aoku tsuno wo terasu tsukiyo
Otome no ishi wo tachikiru you nagai kami wo kita kaze no you ni...

Tsumetaku naida...

Zettai zetsumei... bijin wa hakumei...
Matteru unmei... [ikenie] ni ninmei...

Kitanee sono te wo DOKEro!
[Sekai ichi] kawaii imouto kara
Sonna ni onna ga suki nara meifu de suki na dake daku ga ii!

[JENESHISU] kana de hajimeta [MYUUTOSU] hanayagu jidai
"Katarite wa dare zo?"
"Katarite wa warera!"
"Utaite wa dare zo?"
"Utaite wa warera!"
[Yaneura]

Aa... warera wo tamesu you ni ten wa taezu nanji wo furasu
Sono shin'i wo hito wa utagawazu ni tada uke ireru koto shika――

Dekinai to omotte... ita keredo... totsuzen...
Kokoro no oku de umareta... sono [koe] ni...
Shitagau you ni... kakedashiteta... aru ga mama ni... nasu ga mama ni...

Ano koro yori mo se ga nobita ne kimi no hou koso [kirei] ni natta
Yatto aeta ne kore kara futari nani ga atte mo hanarezu ni iyou!

Dare ka wo fukou ni suru toshite mo kataetai negai ga atta
[MIRA] ni somuku yurusarenu toga wo sorezore ni okashite
Seigi yori rinri yori [sekai] yori tatta HITOri kimi dake wo aisou!

(Where will the love really come from and fade away?
The unknown lady, who chose the way against "Moira".
She is the "Nein".)

Otte no ashi wa todaezu... sasori no you na shuunen de...
Ikudo mo watashitachi no ato wo... tsuke mawashita...

(Yukute wa kita ga minami ka)
(Ani wa kita ga ii to itta)
(Keredo) "Socchi wa hoshi no meguri ga warui!"
(Tte minami wo oshita!)

Yoru no shijima ni hitaru izumi
Aa... fui ni te wo nobashitara todoki sou ne
Minamo ni yureru awai tsuki senaka ni uke
Massugu nobashita sono te de kare no te wo totta――

Asanagi no oka no koe... shio kaze ni izanaware......

Yosete wa kaesu nami no ne wo sono kata koshi ni kikinagara
"Doko ka tooku no chiisana shima de futari kurasetara suteki ne♪"
Nante koto... kangaetari... shichattari shite...

Aa... kyou mo doko ka de arasoi wa tsuzuku no darou keredo

"Erefu♪ Erefu♡ Erefu♪ Erefu♡ Erefu♪"

(Futari wo tsutsumu tasogare no naka sekai wa kagayaite)

Mama toi ni madoi kai wo tagae rui no umi e otsuru
Tada ai wo motome kuite katari sei ga sora ni mau

Shiseru monotachi ga kakenukeru shinwa no jidai yo
Hashirazaru eiyuu haseshi kanyuu kawari yuku [sadame]

Jiyuu yori heiwa yori [sekai] yori tatta HITOri kimi dake ga toutoi!

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

It is in [her] nature to accept what could be called <fate>. Something that could be equivalently interpreted as <the natural way of the world>, <providence>, <the law of cause and effect> or even <the goddess>. From the depths of her heart, she wished for a reunion with her older brother after many years of separation. However, at the end of her eventful life, she would be sacrificed due to the machinations of a certain villain, dying near a body of water so as to capture the azure moon in her hand...
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...

Sin in the Name of Love

(“Misia!?”
“Shit, the woman’s fast!”)

Trying to shake herself free of her pursuers, she sprints through the dark forest
(“Wait!”)
A stag shows her the way, the moonlit night bathing its antlers in an azure glow
(”A stag!?” “It got away!”)
As if to break the maiden’s will, a sword cuts through her long hair, merciless as the north wind...
(”Get out of my way!” “Aren’t you an energetic one?”)

And...

Her pursuers close in...
(“Don’t worry, I’ll take it easy on you. The fun’s just about to begin...right?”)

A desperate situation...the beautiful ones die young...
The fate that awaits her...her duty as <a sacrificial sybil for the water god>...

Get your dirty hands off her!
Don’t touch my sister, the cutest one <in the world of dying ones...and I’m saying this because what I actually think will probably make the goddesses in heaven above jealous and bring their wrath upon me>[in the whole world]
If you like women that much, then get all the women you want in Hades!

(“Elef? Are you really Elef?”)

<Genesis> has begun to be played; An era when <Mythos> flourished

SCHau & ROhre: Who are the deceivers?
DINg & GERat: We are the deceivers!

SCHau & ROhre: Who are the singers?
DINg & GERat: We are the singers!
<The Four Black Cat Sisters>

Ah...as if wanting to test us...the heavens keep showering us with troubles...
And humans can only accept the will of the gods without question-

That’s what I thought...but all of a sudden...
I was taken over by <an impulse>[a voice]...that gushed forth from the depths of my heart...
And I sprung into motion...without question...without hesitation...

You’ve grown a lot taller <-> And you too, have grown <into a fine woman>[more beautiful]
We finally met - let us be together from now on, no matter what happens!

There are wishes we want fulfilled, even at the cost of someone’s misfortune
We both commit the unforgivable sin of turning our backs against <destiny>[Moira]
I’ll abandon justice, morality and even <The Sixth Horizon>[the world] to devote myself to loving you alone!

(“We found the sybil!”
“Let’s run, Misia!” “Yes!”)

Where will the love really come from and fade away?
The unknown lady, who chose the way against Moira.
She is the Nein.

(“Don’t let them get away! Lord Scorpius will kill us!”
“Shit! There’s no end to them!”
“We can’t help it, they’re just as desperate...!” “I was gonna get married after this war is over!”
“Eat this!”)

There is no end to our pursuers...vindictive like scorpions....
(“I’m done for...it’s all up to you now...fast as the wind, Achilles...”)
They were always at our heels...chasing us across the land...
(“Shit, don’t die on me now, Teucer!!”)

<In the direction of the holy capital where Orion resides>
↑    the brother’s suggestion
“But the movement of the stars over there is ominous!”
↓    the sister’s suggestion
<In the direction of the great port>

Should we head north or south?
My brother said north,
(“Wait, guys! A new oracle has been received!” “W-what!?”)
But because the movement of the stars there is ominous,
I suggested south instead
(“I guess we should go back then...”)

A water spring bathing in the night’s silence
Ah...I could almost reach it if I stretch out my hand...
But I turned my back against the pale moon wavering on the water surface
And took his offered hand without hesitation-

Crossing the hills in the morning calm...lured by the pull of the ocean breeze....

(“Hey, have you heard? Arcadia’s going through a civil war right now.”
“Man, the world’s a dangerous place these days.”
“Damn straight it is...”)

I listened to the rhythmic sounds of the waves at his side
(“War again..really? Wonder what’s gonna happen to Anatolia...“ "’Only Moira knows for sure’...huh?” “That’s not funny...”)
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could live on some small, faraway island, just the two of us? ♪”
I couldn’t help...but let those kinds of thoughts occupy my mind...
And tripped on a pebble...ouch!

(“Misia!”
“Woah there, lady! You aright?”
“Hey, aren’t you Damon?”
“Well if it isn’t Elef! Haven’t you kicked the bucket yet? Hahahaha!”
“You came just at the right time! Hey, can you let us on your ship tomorrow?”
“Of course!”)

During our wanderings, we passed by several slave markets
It’s a sad sight...but if we stop to free all of them...
We’ll never get anywhere....
(“Don’t slow down, you trash!”)

(“Please wait!!!”)

The Chronos is weaved....

Ah...I’m sure conflict goes on somewhere, even now...
But is it so wrong
To treasure this happiness in our peaceful lives?
(There’s nothing wrong with that, right?)

He was consumed by death...so I made up excuses...
To distance him...from the scent of blood...
Yes...indeed...I’m the terrible woman...
Who turned him away from his duty...but...

“Misia ♥ Misia ♪ Misia ♥ Misia ♪ Misia ♥”
“Elef ♪ Elef ♥ Elef ♪ Elef ♥ Elef ♪”

Sunset embraces the two of them...what a dazzling <Ninth Reality>[world]...

As it is...puzzled by the questions, mistaking the answers, falling into the sea of disasters
Merely...yearning for love, we repent yet still deceive, and stars dance in the sky....

(“Scorpius, your attack ends here! The bow and arrows of the star goddess will hunt down their prey no matter where you run to! You sly scorpion, I’ll exterminate you right here!”)

(“What!?”)

This era of Myth that the dying ones are dashing through
Heroes abandon their battlefields, the villain takes the stage, and <destiny> changes
(“Too bad! The shield of the water god will never let anything through its defenses, and I have the thunder god’s spear which will pierce through all creation!”)

There are feelings we want to stay true to, even at the cost of someone’s sacrifice
We have both committed the unforgivable sin of turning our backs against <destiny>[Moira]
I’ll abandon freedom, peace and even <The Sixth Horizon>[the world] to devote myself to treasuring you alone!

Still <the Creator>[God] urges us to fight, <the Lord with dark eyes>[God] repeatedly incites us into battle
But where is the real enemy that <the dying ones>[we] should fight against?
Even if this is a <horizon>[world] that <denied>[murdered] <providence>[God], I fear nothing with you by my side!

(“I’ve sent the descendants of the divine, the slaves, the Hellenes and the Barbaroi to Hades! I will be the king who reigns over the world!”)

(“Let’s always be together, Elef.”
“Of course.”)
