The Lily’s Curse” (百合の呪い - Yuri no Noroi)

(A haunting, Japanese-inspired fantasy ballad) [Verse 1: The Plague Awakens] 夜空に咲く百合の花 Yozora ni saku yuri no hana In the sky, lilies begin to bloom, その香りが街を包む Sono kaori ga machi o tsutsumu Their scent envelops the town, 腐敗した風が吹き抜ける Fuhai shita kaze ga fukinukeru A decayed wind sweeps through the streets, 命を奪う百合の呪い Inochi o ubau yuri no noroi The curse of lilies steals life away. [Chorus: The People’s Suffering] 腕に刻まれた数字が Ude ni kizamareta suuji ga The number carved into our wrist, 命の長さを示してる Inochi no nagasa o shimeshiteru Shows the length of life we have left, 一つ減れば、花は咲く Hitotsu hera ba, hana wa saku As one fades, a lily blooms, だがその花は命を吸う Daga sono hana wa inochi o suu But that flower sucks the life from us. [Verse 2: Hanahaki’s Grasp] 咳き込むたびに花が咲き Sekikomu tabi ni hana ga saki With each cough, a flower blooms, 胸の中で痛みが増す Mune no naka de itami ga masu Pain grows inside my chest, 愛しさが腐り、花を作る Aishisa ga kusari, hana o tsukuru Love rots within, and petals form, 涙が枯れて、心も壊れる Namida ga karete, kokoro mo kowareru Tears dry up, and the heart shatters. [Pre-Chorus: The Numbers Fade] 腕に刻まれた数字が Ude ni kizamareta suuji ga The numbers on our wrists, 減っていくたび、命も消える Hette iku tabi, inochi mo kieru With each passing number, life fades, 百合の花が咲き続ける限り Yuri no hana ga saki tsudzukeru kagiri As long as lilies continue to bloom, 人々は消えゆく運命 Hitobito wa kieyuku unmei People vanish, consumed by fate. [Chorus: The People’s Suffering] 腕に刻まれた数字が Ude ni kizamareta suuji ga The number carved into our wrist, 命の長さを示してる Inochi no nagasa o shimeshiteru Shows the length of life we have left, 一つ減れば、花は咲く Hitotsu hera ba, hana wa saku As one fades, a lily blooms, だがその花は命を吸う Daga sono hana wa inochi o suu But that flower sucks the life from us. [Verse 3: The Corruption Spreads] 百合の花が街を覆い Yuri no hana ga machi o ōi The lilies cover the streets, その根は腐敗し、命を奪う Sono ne wa fuhai shi, inochi o ubau Their roots decay, stealing lives, 愛が枯れ、希望も消え Ai ga kare, kibō mo kie Love withers, and hope fades, この街はもう死にゆく Kono machi wa mō shini yuku This town is already dying. [Bridge: A Silent Scream] 誰か、助けてくれ Dareka, tasukete kure Someone, save us! 声
