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

    SHIONO, Twilight Master

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.
