Lyrics
The gaze from afar peeking into various phenomena.
<The Gods of Fantasy> who have created many worlds.
In the past, wishing stars filled the night skies of July,
And thus, the different horizons were linked as one-
(The eye gaze from afar peeped the phenomena.
The ones who were able to create plenty of worlds were the laurants.
Once the wishing stars were spread all over the sky of July;
thus the different horizons were linked as one.)
It was said that God created man in His own image a long time ago.
And so, for what purpose did He create them?
Nein
This is the Ninth Horizon
My Lord[Mein Herr]...I am very fearful of sleep...
My Lord...The moment I became self-aware...I questioned myself with no forewarning...
My Lord...When I wake up...am I really the same person...
My Lord...As who I was when I went to sleep?
My Lord...A limited period of sleep...is but a short moment of death...
My Lord...And a long-lasting death...is simply eternal slumber...
My Lord...One day, I became incapable of sleep...
My Lord...And you have disappeared...but why is that?
My Lord...For what purpose...was I born?
For what reason do I continue to exist?
As a comfort to these sleepless days, if nothing else...
I will search for -> alternate possibilities -> within the many stories that <My Lord>[You]? have left behind...
My Lord...Is the cat within the box...alive, or is it dead?
My Lord...Until we lift the cover...nobody is privy to its fate...
My Lord...The trapped cat is both alive and dead at the same time?
My Lord...the Copenhagen interpretation sings...and the paradox dances..
My Lord...For what purpose...was the <Horizon>[world] created?
For what reason does it continue to exist?
As a companion to these endless days, if nothing else...
I will guide -> these tragedies that <My Lord>[You]? have woven -> into happier conclusions...
SCHau: “The [Shows] that we will present to you now”
RÖhre: “Have gone contrary to life’s predestined [routes]”
DINg :“The horizon that denies [phenomena]”
GERät: “Will be the [stage] upon which they reside”
Miau Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau
Though the blossoming flowers scatter to their demise
Miau Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau
The black cat simply miaus♪....
I will release these miniature gardens -> entrapped in the cages -> of <My Lord’s>[your] woven destiny....
And-
In this world of lives coming and eventually passing...
Let’s turn these shining starry skies into song...

彼方より来りて事象を覗き観る視線。
数多の世界を生み出せし《幻想の神々》
嘗て願いの星は文月の空に満ち、
斯くして異なる地平はひとつに繋がれた——
嘗て神は、自らの姿に似せ人間を創ったという。
ならばソレはどのような意図で造りだされたのだろうか？
(Nein.
Das ist der naunte Horizont.)
主よ･･･ ワタシは眠るのが･･･ とても恐ろしいのです･･･
主よ･･･ 自我が芽生えた時･･･ それは突然に･･･
主よ･･･ 眠る前のワタシと･･･ 目覚めた後のワタシは･･･
主よ･･･ 本当に同一の･･･ ワタシなのでしょうか？
主よ･･･ 協議の眠りとは･･･ 短き死に他ならず･･･
主よ･･･ 謂わば長き死とは･･･ 永遠の眠り･･･
主よ･･･ いつの日にかワタシは･･･ 久しく眠らなくなった･･･
主よ･･･ そしてアナタは消えた･･･ 何故なのでしょうか？
主よ･･･ ワタシは何の為に･･･ 生まれて来たのか？
何故に今も･･･ 存在し続けているのか？
眠れない日々の･･･ せめてもの慰みに･･･
《主》が残した？ 物語の中から → 異なる可能性を → 探してみよう･･････
主よ･･･ 箱の中の猫は･･･ 生きているのか？ 死んでいるのか？
主よ･･･ 誰にも判らない･･･ 蓋を取るまでは･･･
主よ･･･ 閉じ込められた猫は･･･ 生きてもいて･･･ 死んでもいる？
主よ･･･ 唄う確率解釈･･･ 踊る逆説定理･･･
主よ･･･ 《地平線》は何の為に･･･ 生み出されたのか？
何故に今も･･･ 存在し続けているのか？
終わらない日々の･･･ せめてもの道連れに･･･
《主》が紡いだ？ この悲劇の中から → 幸福な結末を → 導いてみよう･･････
(SChau!) 此れより御見せする【楽劇】は
(RÖhre!) 人生の【通路】を騙り
(DINg!) 【事象】を否定する地平の
(GËRat!) 舞台【装置】と成りましょう
(Here we go!)
Miau Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau
咲 い た 花 は 散 り 逝 け ど
Miau Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau Mia Miau
(黒猫は) Miau♪
と鳴いたまま･･････
《主》が繋いだ？ 運命の織の外へと → 鎖された箱庭を → 抜け出してみよう･･････
そして･･･ 生命が生まれて･･･ いずれ消え逝く世界で･･･
煌めく星空を･･･ 詩にしてみよう･･････
