『Paradoxical Legacy』 氷河を避けて地下に潜り 師に学び3年が過ぎた頃 真理を語る事もできるようになった 耳を傾けるのは14万に1人 他は嘲笑と侮蔑と迫害の矢を射掛けてきた 五千と五百の夜を数えた頃 少しずつ集まり始めた弟子達が 自らの口でも真理を伝え始めた 右目は光を失い 腕も足も太さは⅓になっていた 神殿を囲む人の数が千を超えるようになった 世界は予言の通りに破滅に向かっていた 故郷は魔族と魔物に覆われていた 荒み切った大地に佇む人々は口々に 自らの行いを省みる事もなく言った 「どうしてこうなった」 迫害を避けて地下に籠り 死を見詰めて日々を重ねていた 真理を書いた書物を積み重ねると 読みに来る若者は口々に伝えるようになった 変化に気付かず人波を抑え込もうとしても 自ら武装した人々が抗いはじめた 五千と五百の夜を数えた頃 酷く数を減らした子供達が 街で遊ぶ姿も珍しくなった 人々の多くは瞳から光を失い 街に生きる人々の半数はいなくなったけど 神殿を囲む人の数は5千を超えるようになった 世界は予言の通りに破滅に向かっていた 故郷は魔族と魔物に覆われていた 荒み切った大地に佇む人々は口々に 自らの行いを省みる事もなく言った 「どうしてこうなった」 世界は予言の通りに破滅に向かっていた 故郷は魔族と魔物に覆われていた 荒み切った大地に佇む人々は口々に 自らの行いを省みる事もなく言った 「どうしてこうなった」 既に大地を覆った生き物の半数は魔族と魔物 抵抗の光も増えた事は確かだけど 予言がされてから5千の夜を超えた今となっては手遅れだ 気付くのが遅過ぎた 賢者への迫害を続け過ぎた…。 －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 🎵 Paradoxical Legacy English Translation (nuance-priority, full version) Avoiding the glaciers, I went underground, and three years passed learning from my master. By then, I could speak of truth, but only one in 140,000 would listen. The rest fired arrows of ridicule, contempt, and persecution. By the time I had counted five thousand five hundred nights, the disciples began to gather gradually, and they, too, started speaking the truth in their own words. My right eye had lost its light, my arms and legs were reduced to one-third their size, yet the number of people surrounding the temple surpassed a thousand. The world was heading toward destruction, just as the prophecy had said. My homeland was overrun by demons and monsters. People standing on the desolate land said in unison, without reflecting on their own deeds, “Why did it come to this?” Hiding underground to avoid persecution, I faced death day by day. Stacking books that contained the truth, I saw young people coming to read them, and they began to speak the truth in turn. Even if one tried to suppress the waves of people without noticing the change, those armed among them began to resist. By the time I had counted five thousand five hundred nights, the children had dwindled in number. Seeing them play in the streets had become rare. Most people had lost the light from their eyes, and half the citizens in the city were gone, but the number of people surrounding the temple exceeded five thousand. The world was heading toward destruction, just as the prophecy had said. My homeland was overrun by demons and monsters. People standing on the desolate land said in unison, without reflecting on their own deeds, “Why did it come to this?” The world was heading toward destruction, just as the prophecy had said. My homeland was overrun by demons and monsters. People standing on the desolate land said in unison, without reflecting on their own deeds, “Why did it come to this?” Half of all living creatures covering the land were already demons and monsters. The light of resistance had grown, but after five thousand nights since the prophecy, it was already too late. They realized it far too late. Persecution of the sages had continued for far too long.
