Lyric
Lily of the Battlefield (feat. NANA) [ENG]
SHIONO, Twilight Master
Walking behind the heavy wooden wheels
Bare feet sinking where the dead man kneels
The king’s great glory doesn't feed my soul
Just ashes and rain in a broken bowl
They call it a war, they call it divine
But the blood in the mud tastes nothing like wine
Three copper coins in a filthy hand
The price of a breath in a dying land
A fleeting fire in the freezing night
To hide from the shadows, to hide from the fright
I am the lily in the bloody mud
Trampled by iron, washed by the flood
You buy my warmth to forget the grave
But I take your coins, for I am the brave
I bend in the storm, but I never break
I sell you a dream that you cannot take
The young lord came with a trembling heart
Thirty pounds of rust tearing us apart
Cold iron rings pressing on my breast
He wept in my hair, seeking a mother's rest
No noble knight, just a terrified boy
Finding salvation in a broken toy
Then came the squire, with the eyes of a hound
No tears to shed, just the heat of the ground
Rough, bruised lips and a desperate thrust
Two starving beasts in the ashes and dust
He knew my sorrow, he belonged to the dirt
A violent dance to swallow the hurt
The sweat and the rain! The iron and skin!
There is no holy heaven, and there is no sin!
Inside my womb, you bury your fears
I drink your sweat, I swallow your tears!
You march to the slaughter when the morning is grey
But the Lily of the mud will live another day!
I am the lily in the bloody mud
Trampled by iron, washed by the flood
You buy my warmth to forget the grave
But I take your coins, for I am the brave
I bend in the storm, but I never break
I will survive, for my own sake
I pull up my burlap, I walk in the rain
Three copper coins... to numb the pain
The iron rusts, the soldiers fall
But the roots of the Lily... outlive them all

SHIONO, Twilight Master
Three copper coins for a fleeting breath.
I am the Lily that survives the blood and mud.
Experience the darkest, most intimate untold story of the Hundred Years' War.
From the visionary dark fantasy epic The Silver Spur by Twilight Master comes Lily of the Battlefield-a haunting musical spin-off told from the very bottom of the medieval hierarchy: a nameless peasant girl.
Three copper coins. That was the price of her warmth on the eve of battle.
She became the desperate salvation for two young Englishmen: an aristocratic knight who wept against her collarbones in freezing, rusted chainmail, and a cunning squire who took her with the rough, primal heat of a starving beast. She absorbed their terror, their sweat, and their tears.
Blending ethereal Celtic folk with a raw, this dark gothic ballad strips away the romantic myths of chivalry. It is a sensual, tragic, yet fiercely empowering anthem of resilience. While knights fall and armor rusts, the girl in the mud bends to the storm but never breaks.
Kings die. The Lily survives. Listen to the true heartbeat of the battlefield.

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!
