Lyric
The Marebito's Crusade (feat. HIROYUKI & NANA) [ENG]
SHIONO, Twilight Master
In the grey of the dawn, where the cold pigs cry
We carried old iron under a weeping sky
Thirty pounds of rust, and a silver spur
Leaving the hearth for a bloody blur
No maidens to weep, no songs of the brave
Just the wind pulling us toward a foreign grave
Across the churning water, the wooden belly groans
We trade our fathers' fields for a field of shattered bones!
Oh, the Phantom in the flames! The blood in the mud!
Where the saints and the sinners drown in the flood!
Through the burning of the abbeys, through the famine and the cold
We are fighting for the ashes, for a crown we cannot hold!
The mercenary laughs in the dark of the wood
A witch on the pyre, misunderstood
We drank the stolen wine, we shared the stolen bread
Marching with the shadows, talking to the dead
A peasant and a noble, bound by the dirt
Searching for a meaning in the hollow and the hurt
[Instrumental: The Long Journey]
Through the venom of the sea, to the crescent and the sun
Where the heavy iron melts, and a new life has begun
Shedding off the armor, shedding off the name
In the market of the holy, we are stepping through the flame
From the mud of the west to the Jerusalem sand!
We forge our own honor with a sword in the hand!
No kings to command us, no ghosts to pursue!
In the heat of the desert, the silver shines true!
The silver shines true!
Two brothers in the dust
Where the phantom fades
Two brothers in the dust
Where the phantom fades
Two brothers in the dust
Two brothers in the dust
Two brothers in the dust

The Marebito's Crusade (feat. HIROYUKI & NANA) [ENG]
SHIONO, Twilight Master
From the bloody mud of Flanders to the burning sands of Jerusalem.
A true knight is forged in the ashes of madness.
Forget the myths of shining armor. Step into the visceral, godless reality of the Middle Ages.
The Marebito's Crusade is the monumental symphonic anthem that breathes life into the savage and expansive universe of The Silver Spur, the epic historical dark fantasy saga crafted by visionary author Twilight Master (Kouan Koji). Delivering an unparalleled realism cinematic aesthetic, this track is a sweeping auditory journey from the grim trenches of the Hundred Years' War to the scorching, exotic heart of the Holy Land.

This is the chronicle of Thomas and Will-an impoverished English knight and his cunning squire, bound by the dirt they crawl in. Hunting the phantom witch Joan of Arc through dysentery-ridden camps and burned-down abbeys, their harrowing struggle for survival eventually washes them onto the golden shores of Jerusalem, far from the religious fanaticism of a collapsing Europe.
The musical arrangement mirrors this epic transatlantic odyssey. It begins with the melancholic, rain-soaked strings of a traditional Welsh crwth, slowly descending into the madness of war with dark Gregorian chants and heavy orchestral brass. As the journey shifts eastward, the rhythmic pulse of Middle Eastern Darbuka percussion, Armenian Duduk, and soaring ethnic female vocals seamlessly collide with the Western symphony. The result is a triumphant, awe-inspiring crescendo of survival and rebirth.
Shed your rusted chainmail. Embrace the heat of the desert. The ultimate dark historical epic awaits. The Marebito's Crusade begins now.

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!
