[Title: Mortal Coil] [Genre: Overture, Tragic Opera Aria, Haunted Classical, Dark Requiem, Gothic Orchestral, Cinematic Funeral Music] [Tempo: Adagio • 54 BPM] [Key: D Minor] [Time Signature: 6/8] [Vocal Style] [Solemn Operatic Baritone] [Massive Cathedral Choir] [Latin Requiem Chorus] [Distant Children's Choir] [Whispered Prayer] [Operatic Lament] [Heartbroken Operatic Scream] [Instrumentation] [Pipe Organ] [Grand Piano] [Full String Orchestra] [French Horn] [Bass Trombone] [Tuba] [Low Cello & Double Bass] [Restrained Timpani] [Tubular Bells] [Funeral Bells] [Production] [Vast Cathedral Acoustics] [Haunted Reverb] [Organic Dynamics] [Wide Stereo Orchestra] [Deep Choir Layers] [Long Natural Decays] [Dramatic Silence] [No Triumphant Resolution] [Mood] [Sacred Tragedy] [Parental Grief] [Existential Dread] [Guilt] [Fear] [Irreversible Loss] [Mourning] [Hopeless Prayer] [Overture] [Solo Pipe Organ] [Distant Funeral Bells] [Low Strings Slowly Rise] [Wordless Choir] [Cathedral Ambience] [Verse 1] They called your name before the dawn, A number carved where dreams belonged. They placed your hand inside of mine, Then taught the crowd to cheer the line. [Pre-Chorus] [Pipe Organ Swells] [Choir Breathing] [Silence Between Phrases] You looked at me without a sound. The only mercy wasn't found. [Chorus] [Full Orchestra] [Cathedral Choir] [Latin Requiem Chorus] [French Horn Swells] [Heartbroken Operatic Scream Behind Lead] This mortal coil won't let me wake. It asks a father what love can take. If I obey, I lose my soul. If I refuse, they take us both. Tell me which sin Heaven forgives— The hand that falls, or one that lives? [Verse 2] [Strings & Piano Only] [Quiet Organ] [Distant Children's Choir] You smiled as though you understood, More brave than any child should. "I love you," barely crossed your lips, While all the flags eclipsed the sky. [Bridge] [Almost A Cappella] [Solo Pipe Organ] [Whispered Prayer] [Long Silence] [Haunted Cathedral Reverb] Don't remember what they made me be. Remember who I used to be. The one who carried you through storms, Not through the silence after war. [Final Chorus] [Entire Orchestra] [Massive Cathedral Choir] [Latin Requiem] [Heartbroken Operatic Scream] [Distant Children's Choir] [Funeral Bells] [Maximum Emotional Intensity] This mortal coil will never heal. No passing years can change what's real. Every sunrise speaks your name, Every shadow wears my shame. If there's a place beyond this pain, Please call me "Father" once again. [Requiem Outro] [Lead Voice Falls Silent] [Wordless Choir] [Pipe Organ Sustains] [Funeral Bells] [Whispered Prayer] [Cathedral Reverb] [Fade Into Silence] Mortal Coil [Verse 1] 夜明けの前 君の名が呼ばれた 夢があるはずの場所に 刻まれた番号 小さな手を 僕の手へと重ね 境界線を越えろと 群衆は歓声を上げた [Pre-Chorus] 君は何も言わず ただ僕を見つめた この世界に 慈悲などなかった [Chorus] この「死すべき人生」は 僕を目覚めさせてはくれない 父である僕に問い続ける 愛は どこまで奪われても愛なのかと 従えば 魂を失い 拒めば 二人とも命を失う 教えてほしい 天はどちらの罪を赦すのだろう 振り下ろしたこの手か それとも 生き残ってしまった命か [Verse 2] 君は すべてを知っていたように微笑んだ 子どもには あまりにも勇敢すぎる笑顔で 「大好きだよ」 その小さな言葉がこぼれる頃 幾千もの旗が 空を覆い尽くしていた [Bridge] 彼らが僕にさせたことではなく 本当の僕を 覚えていてほしい 嵐の中 君を抱いて歩いた父親を 戦いのあとに残された沈黙ではなく [Final Chorus] この苦しみは 決して癒えない どれほど時が流れても 真実は変わらない 朝日が昇るたび 君の名が響き 影を見るたび 僕は罪を思い出す もし この痛みの向こうに もう一つの世界があるなら その時だけは もう一度 「お父さん」と呼んでほしい
