One note wakes in silver rain
One gear turns through quiet pain
In the theater under time
We heard the thirteenth chime
忘れないで
They told her, “Play the sleepful score”
Let memories fade behind the door
Ivory hands on porcelain keys
A music box beneath the breeze
But every name about to fade
Became a light the silence made
She heard them not as fear or cries
But tiny stars behind her eyes
They wrote oblivion on the page
Locked every heart inside a cage
But in the pause between the lines
She found a prayer that still could shine
Ring, ring the thirteenth chime
Through broken gears and borrowed time
We sing for souls they left behind
This is our clockwork requiem
Rise, rise beyond the night
Turn every tear to silver light
If memory still wants to fly
We’ll send it gently to the sky
光になれ
魂よ空へ
A noble voice with nowhere home
Carried moonlight through the stone
A sister forged a spark of grace
From rusted dreams and brass embrace
A circus smile remembered roads
A detective read what silence showed
A marching heart of metal bone
Learned how to breathe beyond the throne
Six shadows met where gaslights glowed
With one lost song they barely know
The tower slept, but far below
A thousand lights began to grow
Ring, ring the thirteenth chime
Through broken gears and borrowed time
We sing for souls they left behind
This is our clockwork requiem
Rise, rise beyond the night
Turn every tear to silver light
If memory still wants to fly
We’ll send it gently to the sky
消えないで
忘れないで
They called it mercy
They called it peace
A city dreaming
On wounded knees
But every secret
Learns to sing
Every forgotten name
Becomes a wing
第十三の鐘……
まだ、終わっていない
So let the sorrow turn to steam
Let every loss become a beam
Let brass and breath and voices bind
The shattered rhythm of humankind
No more silence
No more sleep
We will gather
What they could not keep
さよならじゃない
Ring, ring the thirteenth chime
Through broken gears and borrowed time
We sing for souls they left behind
This is our clockwork requiem
Rise, rise beyond the night
Turn every tear to silver light
If memory still wants to fly
We’ll send it gently to the sky
Ring, ring, the tower wakes
Every chain of silence breaks
No throne can own the hands of time
We are the thirteenth chime
壊れた夜を越えて
私たちは歌う
One note lives inside the light
One gear turns beyond the night
If you hear us through the time
Remember the thirteenth chime
忘れないで

Requiem of the Thirteenth Chime
MAX4592
The debut single from the steampunk jazz rock band CLOCKWORK REQUIEM.
Requiem of the Thirteenth Chime tells the story of the Thirteenth Chime Incident, a forbidden night when the rulers of a steam-powered city attempted to alter the memories of its citizens through the giant clock tower that once tuned the city's time and memory.
At the heart of the song is Orgel Nocturne, a broken automaton pianist who was forced to perform the melody of forgetting. Hearing the voices of those whose memories were about to vanish, she defied her orders and wove a requiem into the song. The clock tower stopped, and the city's time and memories were left distorted.
With transparent female vocals, broken music-box piano, smoky tenor sax, brass-toned guitar, warm upright bass, and drums that shift from mechanical precision into a human heartbeat, the six members complete the unfinished requiem.
A luminous steampunk jazz rock anthem for lost memories, forgotten souls, and sorrow turning into hope.
