子羊 (Kohitsuji)

V6

[Intro: slow lonely piano chords, one distorted feedback guitar note hanging in reverb, distant wind] [Verse 1: deep dark Japanese male baritone, low, half-spoken, intimate] 日が昇る 地は冷たい 子羊はいない 銀もない 地の祭り 天の祭り みなは行く 俺は立つ [Chorus: the voice rises into a mournful cry, wailing choir joins, piano and strings swell] 子羊よ… 子羊よ… 母さん、子羊よ 日は昇る 夜は明けない 子羊よ… 子羊よ… [Verse 2: baritone, harder, accordion and violin far behind, feedback guitar answering each line] 目は火 手は土 大きな祭り 俺はいない みなが叫ぶ 日よ! 日よ! 俺の子羊は… いない [Bridge: piano alone, then the feedback guitar cries slowly, long bends, no words] [Final Chorus: full — choir wailing high, strings, piano, the guitar feedback underneath everything, slow and huge] 子羊よ… 子羊よ… 母さん、子羊よ 日は昇る 夜は明けない 子羊よ… 子羊よ… 子羊よ… [Outro: choir fades, piano stops, the feedback guitar alone dies out into wind]
