Lyric
The Phantom of the Dawn ~ The Lock of Black Hair and the False Reaper ~ (feat. NANA) [ENG]
SHIONO, Twilight Master
My dear George
We loved each other so deeply, with such burning heat
But the light of dawn has stolen it all away
The storm battered the glass on that night of madness
To hide you from the Reaper, I sank my nails into your chest
The taste of blood in our kisses, the scent of your sweating skin
I did it because I knew that today, you would disappear
It was a ritual to burn my life deep into your very soul
In the freezing morning mist, the tracks of your carriage fade
Standing by the window, my feet have turned to ice
All I could do was pray to the heavens
That the bullet meant for your heart would strike me instead
Ah, someone tell me it is a lie!
That shadow riding back to the village through the fog
It is the figure of that hateful man who swore to kill you
If that man is still alive, then it means—
My George, you are no longer in this world!
[Solo Violin]
My vision is dyed in white, something shatters deep in my chest
My fragile heart is torn apart by the blade of despair
My body collapses to the floor, yet strangely, I feel no pain
Because in a world without you, there is no reason left to breathe
As if to take your place, I clutch it so tightly
This single lock of black hair, cut on that night in Petersburg
Ah, it is still so warm
This hair still carries your sweet, lingering scent
Wait, George, I am coming to you right now
I will never let you go alone beneath the freezing earth
Last night, you desired me with such violent passion
Before your maddening heat inside my womb grows cold
I will cast off this soul and fly to where you are
I am not afraid of anything anymore
The scenery outside the window, the sound of the freezing rain
Everything is fading, blurring far away
I am only falling into your waiting arms
Say, George, can you hear me? Come and take me away...!
A destiny that tears us apart? I will never accept it
Not knowing that his cruel trap had spared your life
I close these eyes in absolute euphoria
Embracing the perfect happiness of dying with the one I love
My life falls into an eternal sleep, together with your black hair—
George
I love you
Finally... we are together... for eternity

The freezing morning fog ruthlessly tears apart the destiny of two lovers.
Produced by Twilight Master, this ultimate cinematic ballad immerses you in the dark romance masterpiece Nocturne of Intersecting with Death from the tragic, final perspective of the heroine, Mariana.
After a night of maddening passion meant to bind their souls before a fatal duel, Mariana looks out the rain-streaked window only to see her lover's sworn enemy returning alive. In a stroke of cruel dramatic irony, her fragile heart shatters-but she dies in absolute euphoria, believing she is shedding her mortal flesh to join him in the afterlife.

Scored with a weeping solo violin, melancholic piano, and a heartbeat that slowly fades into silence, this track pushes the boundaries of storytelling through music. The Japanese version delivers raw, visceral emotion, while the French version echoes the decadent, English version val the final of gothic atmosphere of 1820s Europe with a haunting cinematic quality reminiscent of an arthouse masterpiece. Close your eyes and surrender to this beautiful, heartbreaking illusion.

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!
