色褪せた 墨の跡 Vestigia memoriae 黄昏の光のように Sicut lux crepusculi 記憶は遠く霞む Memoria evanescit Tarde veniens epistula 灰となった絆の中で Inter vitam et mortem 隔たる世界の境界線 消えた影に手を伸ばす 時の扉は閉ざされ 守るべきものの重さに 月下に誓った約束 水のように滲み広がる Diffunditur ut aqua 言葉にならない想い Sensus ineffabilis 重ねた紙の裏側に In tergo chartae Veritas celata 枯れた大地を 潤す雨 Ultra temporis voraginem 鈍色の空の下で In absentia, praesentia 風化した石の記憶 許されぬ絆の行方 Animam tuam in corde 長い歳月を超え響く 消えた影に手を伸ばす 時の扉は閉ざされ 守るべきものの重さに 月下に誓った約束 古き書に記された Antiquo libro scriptum 二つの魂の密かな誓い Duarum animarum arcanum iuramentum Tempus fugit, amor manet This song was born from the concept of expressing the overwhelming emotions one feels upon receiving a letter from someone who has passed away. The alternating use of Japanese and Latin was a deliberate choice to express the contrast between two worlds. Just as ancient and modern languages coexist in the lyrics, the piece explores the simultaneous existence of past and present, the realms of the living and the departed. Latin phrases such as "Tarde veniens epistula" (A letter arriving too late), "Inter vitam et mortem" (Between life and death), and "Tempus fugit, amor manet" (Time flies, but love remains) were chosen to convey timeless sentiments that resonate across centuries. Musically, the composition fuses traditional operatic elements with contemporary expressions, with the emotions evoked by a letter arriving too late, carrying words from beyond our reach.
