Lyrics
坊や 光を知らないアナタは
視力という その概念自体 解らなかった
坊や 背中に抱きつきアナタは
「おかあさん。ひかり、あったかいね」と 無邪気に笑った
嗚呼 ごめんなさい ごめんなさい ごめんなさい
アナタを産んだのは 私です 私です 罪深い《私》です･･････
母にして姉であり、断罪者にして贖罪者であった。
Therese von Ludowingの知られざる物語･･････。
森に移り住み 贖罪の日々を
薬草集めて 煎じてみたり
神に祈っても 届きはしないし
罪を抱きしめて 祈れやしない
せめてあの子の為に 出来得る限りの全てを
遣りもしないで 唯 嘆いて等いられないわ
――傷を癒し、病を治し、
時には冬に傾きかけた赤子をも取り上げた、森に住む賢い女の噂は、
何刻しか戦利を駆け廻り、皮肉な運命を導く事となる･･････。
その夜 駆け込んで来たのは お忍びの侯妃で
月の無い闇の中を 希望の灯りを信じ
髪を振り乱す 母を奔らせたのは 訳ありの侯女で
抱きしめた腕の中で もう息をしていなかった
その幼子を託して 妃は泣き崩れた･･････
救われる命があれば、奪われる命がある。
それを因果応報と切り捨てても良いのだろうか･･････。
とても不思議な出来事によって 息子は光を手に入れたけど
それが果たして幸福なことだったのか 今となっては善く判らない･･････
一度は冬に抱かれた 愛しい可愛い私の坊や
生きて春の陽射しの中で 笑って欲しいと願った母の
想いも今や 唯 虚しく 束の間の陽光さえ
戯れに 奪われてしまった
観よ 嗚呼 この喜劇を ならば私は 世界を呪う本物の《魔女》に･･････
(･･････なってやろうか?)

“That topic is closed and done with.”
“Is it because I’m a concubine....no, is it because this child is disabled?”
“I don’t want to hear it, Anneliese.”
“Ah...I’m sorry. I’m a sinful mother...it’s my fault that you were born like that...”
“I said I don’t want to hear it!”
“Ah..ahh....”
“Anneliese....I deeply feel for you. However, I will not forgive you...”
My child, you who never saw light,
Know not of even the concept of sight
My child, you embraced my back
Said “Mother, the light is warm”, and laughed innocently
Ah...I’m sorry, I’m sorry, so sorry...
I am...I am the one who gave birth to you...《I》, full of sins...
“Aren’t you cold, März?”
“No...”
She was both a mother and a sister, both the judge and the atoner.
The unknown story of Therese von Ludowing...
Moving to the forest, I lived out my days of atonement
Gathering herbs, I brewed medicine
Even if I pray to God, my cries will never reach
And I won’t even pray while embracing sin
I want to do everything I could for that child at least
Because I just can’t stand being idle in lament
-She healed wounds and cured sicknesses,
Sometimes she even delivered infants who nearly dipped into winter. The rumors of a wise woman living in the forest
Eventually spread afar throughout the lands, and guided her to an ironic fate...
That night, the queen rushed in incognito
Within this moonless darkness, believing in the lamp of hope
The princess made her mother run out with hair disheveled for a reason
For she no longer breathed within the arms that embraced her
(“This child isn’t dead yet! I know, I know this. Why, you ask? She was so energetic till the day before...I won’t accept this! She’ll definitely grow up to be a beauty. She IS my child, after all. All the gentlemen throughout the empire won’t let her be. My, my, hehe. No, enough of that! If only she were
alive! If only...!”)
Giving up her young child, the queen crumbled in tears....
“Lady Sophie, please remain strong! Let’s believe in the female sage...”
If there are lives saved, there are ones lost.
Can we just write it off as karma...
\You standing there, can you hear me? Then come here to me....and dig me out!/
Due to a mysterious incident, my son regained the light
However, is that really a good thing...now that I think about it, I can’t tell...
"Mother..."
“Kill the witch! Kill her!”
“So that’s the witch of Thuringen, how scary. If you don’t behave- YOU’LL BE EATEN!”
“Eek!”
“Hahaha...ha!”
“You should just die!”
My lovely, cute child, who was once embraced by the winter
Your mother wished for you to live within the sunlight of spring and smile, her
“We must give grace to the faithful, and deliver just retribution to the heretics! Come, everyone! Bring down the iron hammer of justice on the witch!”
“Bring down the hammer!”
Feelings are all but in vain now, even the momentary sunlight
Is forcibly taken by caprice
“Light the fire!”
Look! Ah....look at this comedy! Then I shall become a true 《witch》 that curses the world...
“Yes, that’s what I’ll become...ahaha...ahahahahaha...ahahahahaha! Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!”
――And【The Seventh Comedy】will continue to repeat......
