Gothic Metal × Shamisen Meets Fusion Vol.1 Front Cover

Lyric

Cathedral of Broken Time

Elven Echoes

I walk through the clock of ashes

Where seconds bleed like rain

The hands are still, the bells are crying

In silence, I remain

The mirror cracks within my chest

Reflections fall, denied of rest

I see the faith that time betrayed

And drink the night that never fades

In the echoes of my name

I feel no sin, I feel no flame

In the cathedral of broken time

I burn my prayer to the divine

Frozen light in endless chime

Eternal curse—this heart of mine

The sky collapses into dust

Faith is rust, desire’s crust

I hold your ghost beneath my skin

Where every wound begins again

No god to mend, no dawn to send

The circle bleeds, but will not end

In the cathedral of broken time

I burn my prayer to the divine

Through shattered hours, I still climb

Forever bound—this soul is mine

The bells are gone

Yet I still hear them

Time has died—

But I am still here
