Lyric

Lily of the Battlefield (feat. NANA)

SHIONO, Twilight Master

重い轍（わだち）の後を歩く

死人の泥に裸足が沈む

王の栄光じゃ腹は膨れない

砕けた器に降る灰と雨

聖戦だと人は呼ぶけれど

泥の血は葡萄酒の味がしない

汚れた手に銅貨が三枚

死にゆく国で命を繋ぐ代価

凍える夜の束の間の炎

暗闇と恐怖から逃れるために

私は血の泥に咲く戦場の百合

鉄に踏まれ濁流に洗われても

死を忘れるため私の熱を買うがいい

絶望を吸い上げ私はしたたかに生きる

嵐に吹かれても決して折れはしない

幻想を売り払いただ明日を奪い取る

若き騎士は震える心でやってきた

30ポンドの赤錆が肌を隔てる

冷たい鉄の鎖が素肌に食い込む

私の髪で泣いた安らぎを求めるように

高潔な騎士じゃないただ怯えた少年

壊れた玩具に救いを求めて

次は従者飢えた野犬の目で

涙はないただ地を這う熱だけ

荒くれた唇すがりつく欲望

灰と泥の中貪り合う二匹の獣

彼は知っていた同じ泥の底の悲しみを

痛みを飲み込むための乱暴な交わり

汗と雨！鉄と素肌！

神の救いも罪もない地獄！

私の胎（はら）に恐怖を埋めなさい

その汗を啜り涙を飲み干してあげる！

灰色の朝あんたたちは死地へ行け

泥の百合はまた明日も生き延びてみせる！

私は血の泥に咲く戦場の百合

鉄に踏まれ濁流に洗われても

死を忘れるため私の熱を買うがいい

絶望を吸い上げ私はしたたかに生きる

嵐に吹かれても決して折れはしない

幻想を売り払いただ明日を奪い取る

麻の服を引き上げ雨の中を歩き出す

三枚の銅貨で… 痛みを殺して…

鉄は錆び兵士は倒れるけれど…

百合の根は… すべてを越えて生き残る

私は血の泥に咲く戦場の百合

鉄に踏まれ濁流に洗われても

死を忘れるため私の熱を買うがいい

絶望を吸い上げ私はしたたかに生きる

嵐に吹かれても決して折れはしない

幻想を売り払いただ明日を奪い取る

SHIONO, Twilight Master

While knights bleed for glory, she survives in the mud.
The official musical spin-off to the dark historical fantasy epic, The Silver Spur.

Experience the unforgiving reality of the Hundred Years' War through the eyes of the forgotten. Crafted by Twilight Master, Lily of the Battlefield is a haunting dark folk ballad told from the perspective of a nameless peasant girl at the absolute bottom of the medieval hierarchy.

For three copper coins, she becomes the desperate salvation for the young knight Thomas and his squire Will on the eve of a slaughter. Absorbing their terror and false bravado, she trades her warmth for another day of survival. Blending ethereal Celtic melodies with raw, visceral emotion, this song is a beautiful, tragic anthem of a fragile life that refuses to break in a godless war.

Listen to the true, untold 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!
