HOSI NO MAKIMONO Tenth Release: "[ANTITHESIS] - The Protestation Woven Into Stars" There are lyrics for this song. However, it does not seek to paint any sort of story for you, so there is no need to listen closely. [ANTITHESIS] is a contradiction to the principle this profile was created on. An ironic protestation against the very concept of HOSI NO MAKIMONO, as the title suggests. Even so, it is still very much me in the end. ーーーーーーーーーー [Opening Verse] 星の末裔よ、 波のようにいこう。 枯れ果ての思いと、 その忘れた町で。 - Descendants of the stars, Let's go like the waves. With our withered thoughts, In that forgotten town. 神の末裔よ、 風を寄越せよ。 祈りと呪いのうたを、 世界に届けよ。 - Descendants of the gods, Send us the wind. Deliver this song of prayers and curses to the world. ときの荒地と、 割れた空も直しましょう。 君の大切なもの、 巻きましょう。 - Let's mend the wasteland of time and the broken sky. Let's wrap up the things that are precious to you. [Repeat x1] [Instrumental] [Spoken Verse] 鮠はすでに、雨ひとしずくも降らぬ地へと逃げ去った。 あの爽やかな微笑みも、すでに貪り喰われて久しい。 エレボスの軍勢も、銀の跡継ぎも、冒涜の黄金僭主には抗えない。 アブラクサスの創世記すら、我らを見放した。 琥珀の盾も、アメジストの太刀も、救いをもたらすことはない。 こうして、我らはアンチテーゼへと沈みゆく。 - The [MINNOW] has already fled to a land where not a drop of rain falls. That refreshing Smile has long since been Devoured. Neither the armies of [EREBUS] nor the Silver [HERITOR] can stand up to the blasphemous Golden [USURPER]. Even the [GENESIS] of [ABRAXAS] has forsaken us. Neither the Amber [AEGIS] nor the Amethyst [GLAIVE] can bring us salvation. And thus we sink into [ANTITHESIS]. [Chorus] Now, bloom! A touch. A kiss. An empty fest'ring promise. Forfend. For bliss. A holy mother's carcass! From the dragons tomb, we walk once more with our souls subsumed. To the snow-gripped plain, we soar unbound by our cursed names. [Post-Chorus] Creed forsaken, path mistaken, hearts aligned with omens grave. Weave your blackened scroll, let the story be retold! The stars await thine gaze. [Interlude] (The stars... thy gaze.) [Reprise] 星の末裔よ、 波のようにいこう。 枯れ果ての思いと、 その忘れた町で。 - Descendants of the stars, Let's go like the waves. With our withered thoughts, In that forgotten town. 神の末裔よ、 風を寄越せよ。 祈りと呪いのうたを、 世界に届けよ。 - Descendants of the gods, Send us the wind. Deliver this song of prayers and curses to the world. [Chorus] Now, rise! For blood. For sins. A hollow sinking coffin. Unfurl. Our skins. Lay bare our bleeding prophets! Now I sing, I pray, for that storied ancient of days. In depths, away. The threnodial realm awaits. [Outro] 星を巻きましょう。 約束しましょう。 この天空はタペストリー。 忘れないでよ。。。 忘れないでよ。 - Let's wrap up the stars. Let's make a promise. This firmament is a tapestry. Don't forget... Don't forget. ーーーーーーーーーー With the release of [ANTITHESIS], my first public album of songs, [SCROLL OF SEASONS], is complete. I hope it and the nine songs prior were able to bring you some small sliver of enjoyment. Please stay tuned for future releases.
