Lyrics

Romanized transcription pending
The offering to a cruel god. A "sacrifice" is the name of a ritual.

Who is the assailant? And who is the sufferer?
Destiny selects the victims and buries them deep...

Moira

"I'm sorry, Elef ..."

This world I’m born into, ruled by a ruthless god
Did I finally become a woman[flower] who doesn't fear, doesn’t waver, and one that loves everything?

"O, Hydra...please accept this offering."
"That...voice is...!"

The maidens that eventually blossom with fragrance
Their season in full bloom is short...
However, withering beautifully, with a scarlet song of love on your ardent lips
That itself is also ≪The Life of a Flower≫ [life]

"Misia...the youth who visited me a while ago...looked very similar to you..."


"Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!! Misiaaaaa!!!"

The wavering moon[Φεγγάρι] in the color of the lapis lazuli...is very beautiful
Don’t be sad, for even the lights that have passed away are gifts from destiny[Moira]

The dying, pale blue maiden[Παρθένος]...was very beautiful
So we finally meet, I've been searching for your traces...

Ah...what could I possibly compare this sadness to?
Ah...as though my heart has been torn in two...such deep pain...

Hey, do you remember...? The selfishness of days past...
The moon reflected on the surface of the water...And the girl reaching out her hand...

Finally, I/you have gotten ahold of it-

Ah...Farewell...Farewell...my other half[Αντίο...Αντίο...το μισό μου]
Ah...Farewell...Farewell...my other half[Αντίο...Αντίο...το μισό μου]

Farewell...Goodbye...my other self

"Let’s always be together!"
"Yep!"
"Misia!"
"Elef!"

Stardust shoots across the sky. Astra's fury.
A bow and arrows are granted to the doted braves
Implore Astra to punish the burglars who invaded her territory...
