Lyric

Crimson Brand, Porcelain Cradle (feat. NANA)

SHIONO, Twilight Master

あなたが産声を上げるよりずっと前から

私の命は、あなたを守るためにありました

業火に焼かれたこの右頬は

神様……あなたに出会うための、約束の烙印

太陽の下では鬼となって

あなたを冷たい泥へと突き落とす

強くなって、生き延びて

誰よりも速く、敵の喉笛を裂く牙になってと

だけど夜が来れば伽羅（きゃら）の香りを纏い

泥に塗れたその傷を、私の舌で舐め上げるの

痛かったでしょう、泣いてもいいのよ

この腕の中だけは、あなたのゆりかごだから

獣たちから命懸けで守り抜いた

傷ひとつないこの白磁の体は

全部、全部……

あなたの幼い疼きを、優しく鎮めるためだけに

触れて、味わって、私を好きに汚して

顔のない化け物の、隠されたこの柔らかな熱で

母のように抱きしめ、娼婦のように泣くわ

あなたの孤独も恐怖も、私がすべて飲み込むから

だけど……私の一番奥の扉だけは

「刃（つるぎ）」でいるために、どうかまだ開けないで

震える指先が私の秘密をなぞる

雄（おす）の瞳で見つめられるたび、狂いそうになるの

身分なんてどうでもいいと、あなたは叫ぶけれど

私はあなたの「影」

光であるあなたを、泥へ引きずり込むわけにはいかない

だからせめて、この唇で、この豊かな乳房で

あなたのすべてを、慈しみ、受け止めるわ

世界中があなたを見捨てて焼き尽くそうとも

私のこの体は、あなただけの絶対の盾

噛んで、抱きしめて、私に縋り付いて

傷だらけの運命を、この真っ白な肌で包むから

妻のように寄り添い、師のように導くわ

あなたが大人になるための、ただの踏み台でいい

だから……私を壊してしまわないで

愛しすぎるあなたを、守れなくなるから

いつか時代が崩れ落ちて

六文銭が、血の海に沈むその日が来ても

恐れないで、私の愛しい坊や

あなたが息絶えるその瞬間、私はあなたの盾となり

魂ごと、あなたの胎内（なか）で永遠に生き続けるわ

触れて、味わって、私を好きに汚して

顔のない化け物の、隠されたこの柔らかな熱で

母のように抱きしめ、娼婦のように泣くわ

あなたの孤独も恐怖も、私がすべて飲み込むから

世界でただ一人、私の神様……

さあ、目を閉じて……

明日の戦いまで、私の熱に溺れて眠りなさい……

……ずっと、そばにいるわ。

[The Duality of Light and Shadow: Where Two Mad Loves Intersect]

Step into the breathtaking abyss of Twilight Master's dark historical romance, The Boy Who Couldn't Die and the Faceless Companion.

Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/11054822664091383322

Now, the suffocatingly intense world of Daisuke and Saizo is brought to life through a cinematic double-single release. Love or madness? Dominance or submission? Experience the agonizingly beautiful contrast of two souls staring at each other across a final, uncrossable line, delivered through an unprecedented auditory cinematic experience.

Side B: The Heroine's Devotion
"To remain your blade, I must never let you open that final door."

Having survived the darkest depths of the shinobi underworld, she protected her pristine, untouched body through relentless bloodshed-only to surrender it entirely to the teenage boy she calls her "God," simply to soothe his fevered nights.

Beginning with a breathless, sensual whisper against a lonely piano and traditional koto, the track swells into a majestic, cinematic crescendo. This mature female ballad embodies the ultimate paradox of devotion. She plays the mother who holds him, the lover who writhes for him, and the ruthless master who breaks him. Her agonizing refusal to cross the final physical line is her ultimate sacrifice: denying them both total union so she can remain the cold, ruthless blade that keeps him alive in a burning world.

[A Message from Twilight Master - the Author]
These two tracks are parallel prayers echoing in the same muddy night, destined never to fully intersect. His violent thirst. Her agonizing devotion. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let this cinematic duality consume your senses.
Which love will shatter your heart?

Twilight Master
Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
