Lyric
Backward Eternity (feat. HIROYUKI)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
天地が泥のように 濁っていた時代から
ずっと空を眺めていた 白き蝙蝠さ
玉座の主（あるじ）が 幾度すげ替わろうと
都からの使いなんて 腐乱死体（フェイク）で追い返す
太陽が照りつける 嫉妬の廟の真ん中で
ウジを湧かせたこの肉体に 誰もが鼻を塞ぎ去っていく
さあ、箱の中から 取り出したるは紙切れ一枚
プッと冷水を吹きかければ 嘶（いなな）く白き相棒
帝王たちの狂騒なんて 背中越しに眺めりゃいい
逆向きに跨れ！ 過ぎ去りし歴史（きのう）を見つめて
欲望ばかりの明日へ 突き進む愚か者たちよ
権力も栄華も 瞬きする間の幻影（イリュージョン）
八百年の時など 驢馬の蹄（ひづめ）が蹴り上げる 砂埃にすぎない
美少年の頭から 噴き出す一斗の美酒
落ちた冠は 黄金の樽へと姿を変える
不味い毒酒を飲まされたなら 鉄杖で歯を打ち砕け
血まみれの口元から 真白き玉（ひすい）の歯を咲かせてやろう
寿命を占う算木は 震えて弾け飛び
幽霊を視る道士の目にも 俺の魂は映らない
誰も俺を 枠に嵌めることなど出来はしないのさ
逆向きに跨れ！ 過ぎ去りし歴史（きのう）を見つめて
欲望ばかりの明日へ 突き進む愚か者たちよ
千年生きた仙鹿の 銅の札（しるし）が笑ってる
お前たちのちっぽけな天下を 俺は背中で嗤（わら）い飛ばす
「俺の正体を知りたいか？」
答えを知れば 七つの穴から血を噴いて死ぬぜ
天子すら裸足で駆け出す この混沌の真理（タオ）
空っぽの棺桶に 残す言葉などありはしない
逆行の旅人よ…… 白き蝙蝠の翼よ……
万事振り返り…… 永遠を駆け抜けろ……

Backward Eternity (feat. HIROYUKI)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
Why does he ride his donkey backward, fixing his gaze solely on the history left behind?
From the visionary Chinese dark fantasy "Dong You Ji no Yugi" (The Game of the East Journey) by Twilight Master comes the official image song for Zhang Guo Lao, the enigmatic fourth immortal: Backward Eternity.
Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/2912051607103751246
Fusing earthy acoustic strumming with the gritty roar of electric guitars, this track delivers a one-of-a-kind "mystical natural rock" anthem. The ancient soul of a primordial white bat cynically laughs at the mortal fools scrambling blindly toward tomorrow's power and glory. Feel the absolute, terrifying divinity that brought emperors to their bare feet, all riding on the driving, rebellious energy of a 90s J-Rock vibe.
Turn your back on a world obsessed with the future, and experience the fierce roar of a traveler racing backward through eternity.

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!
