『炎の鎖』 (Chains of Flame) [NDC]

ENGLISH AT THE BOTTOM ________ A tormented monk ascends a sacred mountain, seeking purification from the guilt and illusions that bind him. There, he encounters Fudō Myō-ō, the Immovable Wisdom King, who confronts him not with wrath, but with a flame that reflects truth and a sword that cuts through illusion. Through this trial, the monk faces his inner darkness, realizing that the fear and chains were his own creation. In surrender, he is transformed — silent, purified, and steady like the mountain itself. ________ MONK 山の精霊よ 我が名を知る火よ 震える息と共に来た この身はすでに灰 何が縛る 何が燃やす 怒りか それとも慈悲か FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō 怒りなき炎 動かぬ剣 山すら頭を垂れる 我は動かぬ者なり [chant] ノウマク・サンマンダ・バザラダン センダン・マカロシャダ ソワタヤ・ウンタラタ・カンマン MONK この縄は喉を締め この炎は罪を照らす 我が過ち 我が影 砕かれねば 浄められぬのか？ FUDŌ 砕けよ そして燃えよ 燃えよ そして静まれ 静まれ そして還れ [Chant] ノウマク・サンマンダ・バザラダン センダン・マカロシャダ ソワタヤ・ウンタラタ・カンマン [MONK] 恐れしは我が影 炎は怒らず　ただ映す その剣　肉を裂かず 幻を断ち切るのみ [MONK & FUDŌ] 縄より昇り 炎にひざまずく 言葉なき山となり その剣が 我を沈黙に導く ノウマク……カンマン…… _______ ENGLISH MONK: Spirits of the mountain, Fire that knows my name, I come with trembling breath, This body already ash. What binds me? What burns me? Is it wrath… Or mercy? FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō: Flame without anger, Sword that does not move, Even mountains bow their heads. I am the one who does not move. FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō (chant): Nomaku Sanmanda Bazara Dan Sendan Makaroshada Sowataya Untarata Kanman MONK: This rope tightens round my throat, This fire lights up my sins. My mistakes, My shadow… Must I be broken To be made pure? FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō: Break. Then burn. Burn. Then be still. Be still. Then return. FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō (chant): Nomaku Sanmanda Bazara Dan Sendan Makaroshada Sowataya Untarata Kanman MONK: What I feared… was my own shadow. The flame bears no anger — it only reflects. That sword does not cut flesh, It cuts illusion alone. MONK & FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō (together): I rise from the rope, I kneel to the flame. I become the mountain that does not speak. That sword Leads me into silence. MONK & FUDŌ MYŌ-Ō (chant): Nomaku… Kanman…
