The Night of Beautiful Stars (in Japanese 星の綺麗な夜, Hoshi no Kirei na Yoru) is the first track on Sound Horizon's story maxi Halloween to Yoru no Monogatari.

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.

[Diana]... mou ichido... kimi ni aitai to negau...
Kono omoi wa... [tsumi] na no ka...
Ano gyouretsu ni tsuite yukeba... tadoritsukeru... darou ka...

(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)

Ishiku no jiji ga fukikomareta ← Noufu ni narya meshi ni komaranai to
Tochi kurutte... umi watatte... kuwa wo motta to sa...

Heta na ishiku nante ROKU na mon janee → Sore demo noufu yorya MASHI na mon darou
Ten ni inotte... kuwa wo totte... tsuchi tagayashite mo...

Hohoende kureta no wa fukou bakari hisshi ni sodateta JAGAimo wa kusari
Makkuro na DORODORO no doku ni kawari
[Otoko] wa yorube naku ten wo aoida......

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

OK! ICHI ka BACHI ka inochi wo kaketa bakuchi da Wowow!
Norikonda yuresugiru borosugiru netsubyou habikoru kan'okesen Jesus!

[Yume] wo daita mama [kaeranu hito] to naru...
Gonin irya sono naka de hitori wa...
Kounetsu ni ukasareta mama de [yume] wo miru...

And they were gone far away...

[Manifest Destiny]

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

Masa ni “PAN no aru tokoro ni sokoku ari”
Oshiyoseta imin no mure wa shintenchi ni yume wo kaketa
Soshite “kami ga atae tamouta unmei” to
[Frontier] wo uma to juu de seihou e to oiyatta......

(In 1846
The Mexican-American war broke out)

[Buena Vista] de wa takeru [Dragoon]
Kuwa wo suteta te de [Musket] wo totta

Douhou to shite no ishiki to wa doko ni aru no darou?
――Jinshu... shinkou... kokuseki... ETOSETORA...

Soshite... [St. Patrick Batallion] karera wo uchikoroshita...

[Meguri tsudzukeru]

[Manifest Destiny]

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

Horaa na → Hotte mo → Hotte mo → Hotte mo → KIRI ga nai!
Aah... Hisan na → Arui wa → Yukai na → Shikai wa → Kikai na jitai!

Aah... Hisan na → Wakenai → Yukai na → Sekai wa → Mikai na jitai!

Nekosogi → Hori dase ← [IDO] wa utau

(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?)

Yowai mono atsumareba yori yowai mono wo tataku
Doko made [nagarete mo] sabetsu wa aru

Hito wa dare mo ga yowaku okubyou dakara me wo tojiru

Nagare dama ni atari hiza wo kudakare
Matomo na shoku ni mo tsukezu [otoko] wa rurou no sakebitari......

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

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 long song.
Oh! And the wind buried it so in vain.

《My Beloved》[Diana]....I wish to see you...once more...
Are these feelings of mine... 《Unforgivable Sins》...
Would I be able to reach you...if I...follow that procession?


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

The old stonecutter was convinced ← that if you become a farmer, you'd never worry
about making a living
Like the idiot he is...he crossed the sea...with a hoe in his hands, or so it was told...
“Huh? Fer reals!? Aww yeah! Ahahahahahaha!”

“The land of Ireland is calling out to me! Let’s farm-!!!!”

A lousy stonecutter is good for nothing → but still better than being a farmer
“Why is it that people eat potatoes...?”
Even if he prays to the heavens...takes a hoe in his hands...and farms the land...
“Potatoes are the best!!!”

Only misfortune smiles upon him, and all the potatoes he's grown just rot away
Turning into pitch black poison, oh so nasty!
【The man who was a grandson】 just looked upon heaven, with nobody to turn to...

“We’ve gotten so far...!!”
“Uwaaaaaaahhhh......!!!”
“Goddammit all!!!”
“We’ve gotten so far, but this is the end of the road for us!!”

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

OK! It's either all or nothing! A bet with your life on stake! Wowow!
“Please…! Just enough for my child...! Just a small portion..!”
They got on the coffin boat on which fever spreads; it shakes too much, and is way too shabby. Jesus!
“I beg you....! I just need enough to feed my child...! Please...!”

Bearing 《Hope》[dreams] in their hearts, they become『Prisoners of the
Second』[ones never to return]...
“Shut up!” “Get the hell outta here!” “We’re gonna throw you off!”
One out of every five people
“Make the fucking kid shut up!” “You piece of shit!” “Calm down.”
Will have 《delusions》[dreams] while high on fever...
“Hey, hang in there!” “Aren’t you gonna make a new beginning for yourself?! You
gotta hang on till then!” “What a life....”

And they were gone far away...
“Didn’t we make a promise on that day!? Joooooooohn!!!!”

《Manifest destiny》

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

"Home is where the bread lies" indeed
“Kill them all! Don’t let a single one of them live!! Not!! A single!! One!!”
The masses of immigrants bet their dreams on the new world
“You think we’re just gonna let you whites do whatever you want!?” “Secure the
frontlines!”
And carrying out "the destiny bestowed by God”
“Uhehehehe...this is our country, America.” “This is our holy ground. Get out.”
They drove the 《frontier》to western lands, with horses and with firearms...
“They say that the only good indian is a dead indian, don’t they? Hehehe!” “We’re
not letting you any closer!”

1846
The Mexican-American war broke out

“Everyone! We’re gonna send them to hell! After General Taylor-!!!”

Valiant《dragoons》are on《the hill with a nice view》[Buena Vista]
“Fire!”
Having abandoned their hoes, they now take up《small firearms》[muskets]
“Shut up! Can’t you see I’m shooting already?! Why don’t you keep shooting too!?”

Where are their feelings of kinship?
“M-my arm....!!”
-race...religion...nationality...etc...
【The immigrant man】 chose《profitable daily bread》over the《bible》
And...shot《his kins from the St. Patrick battalion》to death...

The Eigth Trail goes round and round
Manifest Destiny

"Hey! We got more gold over there!"

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

“Not gonna let anyone get ahead of me...!”
“Wait up, half-wit! All the gold’s mine!”

No matter → how much you dig → and dig → and dig the holes → there's no end to it!
“Hey! You’re in my way! Get the hell out!” “Shut up! I was digging here first!”
Ah...it may be a → miserable sight → or even → a happy sight → what a mysterious situation!
With all your might → you swing down → you swing down → you swing down → but gold still comes out!
Ah...this → miserable → illogical → joyous → world is → a yet unexplored era!

Dig out → the roots ← 『The Seventh Impulse』[Id] sings
“Woah, this is amazing! Ahahahahaha!!”
It's the 『great treat from the gold mines』[gold rush]! Gather up, everyone! Us『49ers』!
“You idiot! Wait up!”
“Let’s keep moving!!”

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?

When the weak gather, they trample on ones even weaker
No matter where you『follow the Third’s profound meaning to』[flow to],
discrimination is abound

All humans are weak and cowardly, that's why they close their eyes
They don't want to look at『the Ninth Reality』[the real world]

Hit by a stray bullet that shattered his kneecap
The 【retired man】 is now a wandering drunk, unable to find a proper job...

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

“I don't care when I die”...that's how he lived...
But even the 【wandering man】...had but one thing on his heart...
His cute little sister...that he left behind in his 《homeland》[country]...
He kept sending her 《money》...with what pitiful amount he’d earned-

Even that 【man so devoted to his little sister】...eventually found a lover for himself...
“I’m back.” “Oh my! Welcome home...what’s wrong? You’re quite early today. Fufu, lucky~”
A 《lady》 with a noble disposition...who smiled like the moon...
One day, she placed her hand on her belly...and said, "I have some good 《news》♪"...
“Tettere~♪ I’ll make an announcement. I have some good news! Fufu, lucky~”
A blessing after passing months...they put their lips to each other's-

However, the『Sixth Goddess』[destiny] will not...let him escape...
On a moonless night...he was stabbed like『the Fourth Mask』[from behind]-

“I don't want to die yet”...he thought with all of his heart...
“What a pity....I’ve had my eyes on her for a long time.”
His life was an endless 《game show》...but this is where it’s about to get good...
The fading silhouette...belongs to 《an ambitious thug》[go-getter]...
“She’s too good for you, loser! Hahahahahaha!!!”
It was a way to trap...the woman he wanted a relationship with...

The stars are so beautiful...On such a miserable night...
Innocent laughter resounds in the distance...
Ah...today is 《Halloween Night》-
“Halloween! Halloween! Trick or treat!”

This is the unknown『Fifth Story』[roman]...of the nameless 《dying man》...
Seamus....or William....
They're all but tales of the past...

He offered his prayers time and time again, but in the end…『the Tenth Will』[Our lord in Heaven] kept its silence...
He had a somewhat happy『First Recollection』[time], but in the end...nothing good ever comes out of life...
