Lyric
Crimson Tear (feat. NANA)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
吹き荒れる北の風 砂塵の向こう側
銀の鎧を纏った あなたに心を奪われた
青白い飛刀(やいば)を 谷底へ捨てたのは
戦いを終わらせて そばで微笑み合いたかったから
祖国を裏切り 父を欺いて
すべてを敵に回しても あの日の誓いを信じていた
紅い花嫁衣装に この身を包んで
あなたへと続く扉を 開けたのに
揺れる蝋燭(キャンドル) 響く冷たい声
「不忠不孝」と 私を突き放すその瞳(め)には
憎しみだけが 氷のように光っていた
あの誓いは 生き延びるための嘘だったのね
届かない想いなら いっそこの手で
紅い運命(さだめ)を 断ち切ってしまおう
傷つけるつもりなんて なかったの
ただ、あなたの光に 焦がれた愚かな蝶
誇り高き大唐の将 美しき修羅よ
私の純情は あなたにとってただの「罪」
吐き捨てられた言葉が 槍よりも深く
心の一番やわらかな場所を えぐり出す
帰る場所など もうどこにもない
この深い絶望を あなたに刻みつけるわ
壁の宝剣を 白いうなじに当て
現世(このよ)で結ばれぬなら 永遠の呪いになろう
血しぶきが染め上げる 真紅のウエディング・ドレス
あなたのその胸に 消えない傷痕を残して
永遠を渡る風に 想いを乗せて
黄泉の果てまで あなたを見つめている
床に広がる血の海は まるで咲き誇る梅の花
痛まないわ これが私からあなたへの
最初で最後の、本当の愛の証明だから——
揺れる蝋燭(キャンドル) 遠ざかるあなたの影
偽りだとしても あの日私にくれた優しい言葉を
抱きしめたまま 静かに目を閉じるわ
届かない想いなら いっそこの命で
紅い運命(さだめ)を 永遠(とわ)に変えよう
I will love you, crossing eternity
My silent crimson tear

Crimson Tear (feat. NANA)
SHIONO, Twilight Master
A pure love, as beautiful and cruel as scattered crimson petals, becomes the wind crossing eternity.
The ultimate tragic love ballad dedicated to a princess who fell into the abyss of despair.
From Twilight Master's epic dark historical fantasy The White Robe Chronicles, a stunning new spin-off track emerges: Crimson Tear. This song is a heartbreaking tribute to Princess Tulu, the tragic heroine who sacrificed everything for an unrequited love in the shadow of the silver-speared general, Luo Tong.
Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/11054822664443129330
To save the life of the man she loved, the foreign princess abandoned her absolute weapon and betrayed her own homeland. Yet, waiting for her in the candlelit bridal chamber-dressed in a magnificent crimson gown-was not an embrace, but a freezing rejection and ruthless scorn.
This track is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, capturing the essence of the golden era of 90s J-pop with a crystal-clear, transparent female vocal. Driven by melancholic piano arpeggios, swelling orchestral strings, and a gentle acoustic guitar, it creates a deeply resonant, "Heart Full" soundscape that tightens the chest. Her desperate prayer-sealed with a silver blade to her own neck, vowing to love him across eternity since they could not unite in this life-will inevitably bring listeners to tears.

Twilight Master
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!
