Lyrics

I am <the Aggregate Sentience of the Book>[Chronica]
The original text of what you call <Black Chronicle>
I can tell you something - if you don’t mind boring old tales, that is

Once upon a time, there was a man somewhere
He was entrapped by a destiny of ruin
But at the end of his struggles...he found a path to escape from that fate...

However...his escape from said fate was preordained by some other fate
And even if he were to escape from that fate, he’ll simply be entrapped in another one
No matter how much he stretches his limits, he’ll be easily entangled someday
Have you understood the truth of the book? Black history does not allow altercations...

Do you believe in eternity? ...that doesn’t matter
It’s not an issue of concern, because the history of the book knows everything
A world that repeats birth and destruction, everything is within a predestined harmony
Have you understood the truth of the book? Black history does not allow altercations...

In the end, he could not escape the hands of fate
...however, there is no need to pity him
Because no one can escape, not you, nor me...

All’s well ends well...

私は<書の意思の総体クロニカ>
アナタたちが<黒の予言書ブラック・クロニクル>と呼んでいるモノの原典
つまらない昔話でも宜しければ お話ししてさしあげましょう…

昔々ある所に一人の男がいました
彼は破滅の運命に囚われていましたが
苦難の末...その運命から逃れる道を見つけ出しました…

しかし...彼がその運命から逃れることは 別の運命によって定められていました
その別の運命から逃れられたとしても 更にまた別の運命に囚われてしまいます
結局はその枠を何処まで広げようと いづれは簡単に絡めとられてしまうのです
書の真理をご理解頂けるかしら? 黒の歴史は改竄を赦さないのです…

アナタは永遠を信じますか? ...そんなことはどうでの良いのです
さしたる問題ではありません 書の歴史は全てを識っているのですから
幾度となく誕生と消滅を繰り返す世界 全ては予定調和の内
書の真理をご理解頂けたかしら? 黒の歴史は改竄を決して赦さないのです…

結局彼は運命の手から逃がれられませんでした
...されど憐れむ必要はないのです
ワタシもアナタも誰ひとり逃がれられないのですから…

めでたし...めでたし...
