Lyrics

Wrath
[Zorn]

"A church with no visitors. A journeying violinist.
A crucified female saint who became a statue.
Why did you cross this border?
Come, try to sing..."

It has come! The fated time! It has come! The promised time!
[Es kam! Zeit des schicksals. Es kam! Zeit des Versprechens.]

"Come, your father is waiting."

I proceed with determined, gray footsteps
I feel a gust of wind in my back, and turn around just once

The scent of dusk is strangely nostalgic
Yes, I even felt like it was giving me a push

I tremble alone at the surging sadness, tracing a distant promise
promise

At the ends of a fragile, twisted time of welling hatred; I stared at darkness with a kiss
Ah still empty still faded twisted ah gathering sins with a kiss

Even now I don't forget
Even now I don't remember

"Your Highness, I've brought the lady."
"Elisabeth. Be glad! Your husband has been decided!
The one who proposed is Rhein Pfalz.
He's a dream come true for a spinster like you, isn't he?"
"Pardon my words, brother."
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me father!?"
"No, brother, I have no intention of marrying anyone!"

If I have to live on while faking love
Then I don't mind dying with the truth

I wished for the wild roses we found
To embrace you, so I planted them around the grave
But even at the very end, they didn't bloom, did they...

The white bird in the birdcage that fell in love with the moonlight
Even knowing that it'd fall to the ground, would flap its wings till the very end
So what I'm singing at dusk is not a song of grudge...
("Walter. You and Mother even faked your identities to protect her, and this is how it ends."
"Your Highness..." "Hahahaha! Crucify that foolish girl."
"Your Highness!")

"I see. So that's how you were crucified.
You did well in following your own will till the very end.
But would he really have wished for that at the cost of your own life?
Whatever. Now, let the revenge tragedy begin...!"

"No. I don't wish for any of that.
Everyone has their own circumstances and fates to bear.
You came to see me. I'm happy with that alone.
Hey, do you really not remember? Those days that seem so bright even now."

"...I'm really excited now.
Because the forest – the world is so wide!"

"What a pretty flower."
"Woah, really!"
"I'll put it in your hair."
"You would? Make it cute."
"It fits you."
"Really?"

"Mär, make sure you'll come for me!"
"Yes, I promise you."

"Mär, you kept your promise, didn't you? Even going as far as that..."

The cold chains that bind you, who have lost your flame[light]
("Oh, the great female saint!" "So it was true." "With this, your sins are..")
Are the love and hatred of the two who thought of you, who have lost love[light] to death

The bird takes towards the sky, and the corpse returns to earth, continuing to betray providence
The day breaks towards the morning of end, and our next parting is forever-

But...

I don't regret this at all, ah , this is my life
Not《A Noble Lady》[von Wettin], nor《The Daughter of the 7th Elector》[von Sachsen],
I am 《just a girl》[Elisabeth]
Just the one who loved only you...
Just【Elisabeth】

"What now, Mär, you've been acting strange since a while ago. What's wrong?
You can't take that woman's words seriously! Let's just forget about her!
We have to continue our revenge. No matter what.
That's the reason for our existence, isn't it!?
Hey, do you really get it, Mär!?"

"Aaaaaaah! For crying out loud! Why won't you understand?! Mär, you blockhead!
Right now, only I am your Elise!
We've had lots of fun, haven't we!?
We helped take lots of revenges, didn't we!?
It's only going to get more fun. That's right, of course that's right.
You have me, and I have you!
Let's continue! Let's keep this up, the two of us! Hey!!
Let's keep this up for ever and ever and ever and ever!!
Until this world ends, no, even if the world ends,
Let's be together for ever and ever! Hey, no, no Mär,
No, don't don't don't! Please, please, Mär...nooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"It's alright, Elise..."

「参詣の途絶えた【教会Kirche】。
旅歩きの【ヴァイオリン弾きGeige Spieler】。
御像となった磔の聖女。
君は何故、この境界を越えてしまったのか。
さぁ、唄ってごらん」

【来た!運命の時だ!来た!約束の時だ!】

「さぁ、お父上がお待ちです」

鈍色の足取り 決意で進める
背中に風を感じて 一度だけ振り返る

宵闇の匂いは 不思議と懐かしく
背中を押してくれる そう そんな気さえしたわ

押し寄せる 悲しみに 独り震えて 指でなぞる 遥か遠い約束
沸き上がる 憎しみの 脆く歪な 刻の果てに 闇を見つめ 接吻くちづけ
嗚呼 虚ろな儘 移ろう儘 歪な 嗚呼 罪を集め 接吻くちづけ

今 でも 忘れ られない
今 尚 憶い だせない

「殿下、お嬢様をお連れいたしました」
「ふむ、エリーザベト。喜べ!はっはっはっ!お前の結婚相手が決まったぞ!
求婚してきたのはラインプファルツだ。行き遅れには願ってもない相手だろう?」
「お言葉ですがお兄様」
「お父様と呼べと何度言ったら分かるんだ」
「いいえお兄様、私はどなたのもとにも嫁ぐ気はございません!」

愛を偽って生きるくらいなら
真実と共に死すこともいとわないわ

二人で見つけた野ばらが
君を包むことを願って墓標の周りに植えたけど
結局 遂の終まで咲く事はなかったね……

月光に恋をした鳥籠の白い鳥は、
地に堕ちると知りながら、最期まで羽ばたくよ。
だからこそ宵闇に唄うのは、憾みの唄じゃないわ……。

「ヴァルター。お前と母上が身分を偽ってまで守ろうとしたものの結果がこれだ」
「殿下…」
「ふっ、ふふふ、ふははははは!この馬鹿娘を磔にしろ」
「殿下!」

「なるほど それで君は磔にされた訳だね。
一途な想いを貫くのも結構だが、果たして彼は、君の死と引き換えてまで、本当にそれを望むのかな?
まあいい。さぁ、復讐劇を始めようか」

「いいえ。私は、そんなことを望んでなどいないわ。
人にはそれぞれ、背負うべき立場と、運命がある。
あなたが会いに来てくれた。私にはそれだけで十分。
ねえ、本当に覚えていないの?今尚、眩い、あの日々さえも」

「メル、そんなになってまで、約束を守ってくれたのね」

ひかりを無くした君を縛る 冷たい鎖は
ひかりを亡くした 君を想う二人の愛憎

鳥は空へ 屍体は土へ 摂理かみを裏切り続けた
夜は明けて 終わりの朝へ 次の別離わかれこそ永遠――

でも…

後悔などしていないわ 嗚呼 これが 私の人生
門閥貴族の令嬢von Wettin》 でも
七選帝侯の息女von Sachsen》 でもないわ 私は《一人の女Elisabeth
唯 君だけを愛した――

唯の【Elisabeth】

「ナニヨメル、サッキカラ可笑シイワヨ、ドウシチャッタノ?

「もう、いいんだよ。エリーゼ。」
