Sugar, Fire, Crumbs and Blood -ヘンゼルとグレーテル-

Backstory: ("Two siblings, Hansel & Gretel, walks into the dark forest with nothing but bread on their hand") ("They stumbled upon the house made of breads and cookies, and they were hungry") ("Their fate was sealed once they entered the house... or so they thought.") English Translation: [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Small footsteps, trembling shadows, Lost deep within the woods. A sweet house whispered to us, "Come inside, my dears." Opening the door of shining sugar, Even the warmth we dreamed of— Unaware it was a trap, The banquet of darkness begins. [Pre-Chorus 1] Lured by the scent so sweet, Innocent hearts ensnared in chains. If we follow the whispering voice, The gears of fate will break apart. [Chorus 1] Blazing flames, burn away our sins! End the whispers of the lurking shadow With our very hands. The witch’s arms, screaming in vain, We push them away with iron will— Into the roaring furnace, Seal the gates of hell! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Footsteps trace the trembling path, Wandering blind, lost in the dark. Only one hope remains— A tiny, white memory. A trail leading deep into the woods, A future pecked away by birds, Yet still, we walked forward, Believing we’d find our way home. [Narration] "Why were we abandoned here…?" "From the start… did they…?" "Did they simply leave us behind…?" "No… they meant to kill us…" [Pre-Chorus 2] In the darkness, we finally saw— We weren’t abandoned by chance. False kindness had led us here, Into this prison of despair. [Final Chorus] Blazing flames, judge the wicked! Those who hid poison in gentle hands, Drown them in the fire! The woman's arms, screaming in vain, Without hesitation, we push her away— Into the roaring chimney, Seal the gates of hell! [Outro] The burning house glows red, Fading into the veil of night. No tears remain for anyone here— Only silence lingers on. [Narration, Epilogue] (And thus, their fate were never sealed, because they chose to write their own. The End.) [Fade to End] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] 幼い足音 震える影 迷い込んだその先に 甘い家が囁いた 「さあ、お入りなさい」 光る砂糖の扉を開け 夢に見た温もりさえ 罠と知らず 手を伸ばし 闇の宴が始まる [Pre-Chorus 1] 甘い香りに誘われて 無邪気な心は絡め取られ 囁く声に従えば 運命の歯車が狂い出す [Chorus 1] 燃え盛る炎よ 我らの罪を焼き尽くせ 黒き影の囁きを この手で終わらせる 泣き叫ぶ魔女の腕を 鉄の意志で突き放し 燃え盛る釜の中へ 閉ざせ、地獄の門！ [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] 足跡辿る 震える道 光もなく ただ彷徨う 希望はひとつだけ残った 小さな白い記憶 森の奥に伸びる道 鳥に啄まれた未来 それでも信じて歩いた 帰るべき場所まで [Narration] 「なぜこんな場所に…？」 「あの人は最初から…私たちを…」 「見捨てたのか…？」 「いいえ…殺すつもりだった…」 [Pre-Chorus 2] 闇の中で気付いた 捨てられたのは偶然じゃない 偽りの優しさが 導いた 絶望の檻 [Final Chorus] 燃え盛る炎よ 悪しき者を裁きたまえ 優しき手に偽った 毒に満ちた罪人を 泣き叫ぶ女の腕を 迷いなく突き放し 燃え盛る煙突へ 閉ざせ、地獄の門！ [Outro] 赤く燃ゆる家の影 夜の帳に溶けていく 誰の涙も ここにはない ただ、静寂だけが残った [Narration, Epilogue] And thus, their fate were never sealed, because they chose to write their own. The End. [Fade to End]
