君に捧ぐ終焉 (Kimi ni Sasagu Shuuen) - The End devoted to You - Romaji and Translation

Finally! The last song! What an intense story haha.I love how SuperCoolGuy commented on this song haha:

"wow everything's getting cut up in this *CENSORED*"
10 mins later "uhhh, maybe refrain from the cutting"

Yep, a lot of cutting happens. Soldiers... entire armies. And a lot of running. A better title for this song would be "Cut and Run" lmfao.

I like how the melody of song 2 comes back at the end. I am not so sure if the girl dies at the end of the song, I don't think so, because she still runs over the earth. But if I have to connect this to the Zahnrad CD... she does become the swordswoman of purgatory... hmm... I leave that up to you to interpret!

Translation:

戦う事を避けてきた　昔の私は居ない
透き通る　蒼い剣構えた

tatakau koto wo saketekita mukashi no watashi wa inai
sukitooru aoi tsurugi kamaeta

The me of long ago that avoided fighting is no longer here
I held my transparant blue sword ready

久しく帰ってきたこの地で　最後の制裁
風が運んで来た想いを　一つに重ね
駆ける

hisashiku kaettekita kono chi de saigo no seisai
kaze ga hakonde kita omoi wo hitotsu ni kasane
kakeru

I returned to this land after a long time and here I have my last sanction
The wind has carried my thoughts and compiled them together
And I run

冷たい風　高い空　鋭い刃　空を斬った
射し込む剣を　ただ貴方は見てた
兵士を斬る　軍を斬る　地を駆ける　飛び交う　殺意を
全身に受け止め
ただ進む

tsumetai kaze takai sora surudoi yaiba sora wo kitta
sashikomu tsurugi wo tada anata wa miteta
heishi wo kiru gun wo kiru chi wo kakeru tobikau satsui wo
zenshin ni uketome
tada susumu

The cold wind, the high sky, my sharp blade cut the sky
Only you saw my illuminating sword
I kill soldiers, I kill armies, I run through the land
I take in all the killing intent that flies through the air
I only advance

あの恐怖から逃げてきた　昔の私はいない
迫りくる　赤い矢を弾いた

ano kyoufu kara nigetekita mukashi no watashi wa inai
semari kuru akai ya wo hajiita

The me of long ago that ran from that fear is no longer here
and I snapped the imminent red arrows

まるで夢のような光景　最後の忠誠
風が運んできた歌声　一つに重ね
統べる

marude yume no you na koukei saigo no chuusei
kaze ga hakondekita utagoe hitotsu ni kasane
suberu

An almost dream like scene, my final loyalty
The singing voices carried by the wind are compiled into one
and they unite

今　輝く空を見た　雲が晴れ　ただ息を吞んだ
差し込む光を　ただ私は見てた
兵士を斬る　軍を斬る　地を駆けた　愚かな行為を
全身に受け止め
ただ泣いた

ima kagayaku sora wo mita kumo ga hare tada iki wo nonda
sashikomu hikari wo tada watashi wa miteta
heishi wo kiru gun wo kiru chi wo kaketa oroka na koui wo
zenshin ni uketome
tada naita

At this moment, I saw the shining sky, the clouds cleared up, and I just breathed
only I looked at the light shining in
I killed soldiers, I killed armies, I ran through the land
I felt the weight of all the foolish acts
I only cried

射し込んだ　天使の梯子
輝く空　君との約束
祈り

sashikonda tenshi no hashigo
kagayaku sora kimi to no yakusoku
inori

A ladder of the angels shone through
The sky shines, my promise with you
A prayer

これまで歩んできた　長い道　最初の誓いに
応えたあの日の　想い変わらない
兵士を斬る　軍を斬る　地を駆ける　頬伝う涙
全身に受け止め
ただ走る

kore made ayundekita nagai michi saisho no chikai ni
kotaeta ano hi no omoi wa kawaranai
heishi wo kiru gun wo kiru chi wo kakeru hoo tsutai namida
zenshin ni uketome
tada hashiru

The long I've walked on until now, the first vow we made
The feelings of the day I answered your vow have not changed
I killed soldiers, I killed armies, I ran through the land
The tears that ran down my cheeks, I take it all in
and I just run

もし君に　会える　事叶うなら
その時は　全て　想い伝える
これは　君と終焉の歌
最後まで　歌い続けるから

moshi kimi ni aeru koto kanau nara
sono toki wa subete omoi tsutaeru
kore wa kimi to shuuen no uta
saigo made utai tsudzukeru kara

If the wish to meet you is ever granted
If that time comes, I will tell you all my feelings
This is the song of you and the end
And I will continue to sing it until the end

嘘と剣の契約 (Uso to Tsurugi no Keiyaku) - The Contract of Lies and Swords

I have some doubts about my translation, I did not know what 剣閃 means lol. Thus this translation MAY still change!!

碧空に　祈りを込め歌う
罪と終焉の歌
風にさらわれた
祈りが滲んだ空

hekikuu ni inori wo kome utau
tsumi to shuuen no uta
kaze ni sarawareta
inori ga nijinda sora

I put my prayers into the blue sky and sing
a song of sin and demise
Snatched away by the wind
the prayers spread to the sky

磨かれた甲冑　騎士の列
誇りを王に捧げる姿
赦されぬ思い抱く　私の目には
弱く　儚く見えた

migakareta kacchuu kishi no retsu
hokori wo ou ni sasageru sugata
yurusarenu omoi daku watashi no me ni wa
yowaku hakanaku mieta

Those with polished armour, those with ranks of knights
devoting their pride to the king
to me, bearing unforgivable feelings,
they seemed to be weak and fragile

忍び込んだ　宮殿で
一振りの剣を見た
高鳴る鼓動　抑えても
瞳は剥がせない

shinobikonda kyuuden de
hitofuri no tsurugi wo mita
takanaru kodou osaete mo
hitomi wa hagasenai

At the palace, where I snuck in,
I saw a single sword
Despite trying to hold down my throbbing heart beat
My eyes would not divert

蒼白の刃を　振り翳す
澄んだ剣閃が飛ぶ
揺れる　嘆きの空
果てなく　続いていた

souhaku no yaiba wo furikazasu
sunda kensen ga tobu
yureru nageki no sora
hatenaku tsudzuiteita

Swinging my pale blade
Flashes flew of my clear blade
The wavering sky of laments
It endlessly continued

磨かれた城壁　高い窓
錆付いた門静かに叩く
交わされた契約　祈りの代償
科せられた使命は

migakareta jouheki takai mado
sabitsuita mon shizuka ni tataku
kawasareta keiyaku inori no daishou
kaserareta shimei wa

The polished castle walls, the high windows
I silently knocked on the rusty gates
I exchanged the indemnification of my prayers for a contract
And the inflicted mission

偽り　嘘が蝕んだ
醜い争いの死地
幾度と行くも　終わらない
瞳に写る叫び

itsuwari uso ga mushibanda
minikui arasoi no shichi
ikudo to iku mo owaranai
hitomi ni utsuru sakebi

was a falsehood, the lies ate away at me
The deadland of scandalous dispute
No matter how many times I go there, it is endless
the outcries are projected in my eyes

蒼空の瞳が　語る闇
済んだ剣閃の痕
荒ぶ　紅蓮の地が
果てなく　続いていた

soukuu no hitomi ga kataru yami
sunda kensen no ato
susabu guren no chi ga
hatenaku tsudzuiteta

My sky blue eyes tell a story of darkness
The scars of my finished swordsmanship?
The roughening bright red land
continued without end

踏むしめた　大地の祈りが
行く手を阻む　亡者を斬る

fumushimeta daichi no inori ga
yukute wo habamu mouja wo kiru

The prayers of the land I set foot on
"I will kill the ones that obstruct my path"

風に乗せた歌が　君に届くまでは
駆けた　この地で　歌い続ける

kaze ni noseta uta ga kimi ni todoku made wa
kaketa kono chi de utai tsudzukeru

Until the song that rode on the wind will reach you
I will run through this land and continue to sing

赤と白の薔薇 (Aka to Shiro no Bara) - The Red and White Rose - Romaji and Translation

The title of this song is "the Red and White Rose". I think it can be interpreted in multiple ways. White roses symbolise innocence and youthfulness, while red roses symbolise love and grief. The two ways I thought of were: 

1. The red rose symbolises the swordswoman, still alive and loving and grieving her friend's death. Her friend symbolises the white rose, she was innocent and young when she lost her life

2. The red and white rose (one rose, two colours) symbolises the girl who died. She was young, innocent and loved the swordswoman.

The roses that are cut down by the swordswoman are probably also both in one of the two colours.
I think the first one is red and the second one white. I am not too sure of the first one, but the second one is pretty clear. The word innocent is explicitly stated.

Next to roses, there also are lilies. Lilies are also a symbol of purity, but also symbolise death and lesbian love (It is often associated with girls' love). I think all three elements are coming back in this song and are symbolised by the lilies. The poor other girl had died at a young age and I think it is insinuated that the girls were more than just friends.

About this love... There is more ambiguity to this song. I interpreted these stanza on two ways. I think both translations fit the song thus I decided to leave them both in. See the translation notes for further explanation!

Translation:

緩やかな　川の音
優しい　木漏れ日の匂い
君と来た　約束の
場所に　佇む

yuruyaka na kawa no oto
yasashii komorebi no nioi
kimi to kita yakusoku no
basho ni tatazumu

The gentle sound of the river
The gentle smell of the sun shining through the trees
I stood still at the place I came with you
the place of our promise

楽しい声　悲しい声
全て　今も覚えてる
君と来た　約束の
森に　佇む

tanoshii koe kanashii koe
subete ima mo oboeteru
kimi to kita yakusoku no
mori ni tatazumu

Happy voices and sad voices,
I remember everything even now
I stood still at the forest I came with you
the forest of our promise

突然落ちた　君の一命
何が起きたか　解らなかった

totsuzen ochita kimi no ichimei
nani ga okita ka wakaranakatta

You suddenly lost your life
I did not understand what happened

咲き乱れてた　薔薇の花が
笑った君を見てたから
すぐ　花を斬りつけた
舞い散る百合の花　蕾のまま
愛おしく　ただ思ってたのに
そばで消えた

saki midareteta bara no hana ga
waratta kimi wo miteta kara
sugu hana wo kiritsuketa
maichiru yuri no hana tsubomi no mama
itooshiku tada omotteta no ni
soba de kieta

The roses were blooming in profusion
because they saw the smiling you
I immediately cut the flowers
The lilies danced down, like buds
Despite I thought they were lovely
they disappeared from my side
(As our love withered like buds that never had the chance to grow,
I just thought about how much I loved you
but you disappeared from my side)

村を出て　駆けた森
手には　剣を握ってた
悪夢から　逃げだして
赴くままに

mura wo dete kaketa mori
te ni wa tsurugi wo nigitteta
akumu kara nigedashite
omomuku mama ni

I left the village and ran to the forest
In my hand I grasped my sword
I ran away from the nightmare
And as I proceeded

瞳閉じても　君の横顔
凍り付いてた　最期の笑顔

hitomi tojitemo kimi no yokogao
kooritsuiteta saigo no egao

Even if I closed my eyes, I kept seeing your outlines
Your frozen last smile

何も知らない　薔薇の花が
笑って私を見たから
すぐ　花を斬り捨てた
舞い散る百合の花　秘密の愛
愛おしく　ただ思ってたのに
そばで消えた

nanimo shiranai bara no hana ga
waratte watashi wo mita kara
sugu hana wo kirisuteta
maichiru yuri no hana himitsu no ai
itooshiku tada omotteta no ni
soba de kieta

Since the innocent rose flower smiled
and looked at me
I immediately cut down the flower
Lilies dancing down like our forbidden love
Even though I thought they were lovely,
they disappeared from my side
(I just thought about how much I loved you
but you disappeared from my side)

伝えたかった　言えなかった
私の恋情の全て
でも　それは誰のせい？
舞い散る百合の花　空に誓う
いつの日か　取り戻すよ
君は居ないけれど

tsutaeta katta ienakatta
watashi no renjou no subete
demo sore ha dare no sei?
maichiru yuri no hana sora ni chikau
itsu no hi ka torimodosu yo
kimi wa inai keredo

I wanted to tell you, but I could not
All my love for you
But, whose fault is that?
As the lilies dance down, I vow to the sky
Someday, I will take it back what was taken from me
Even though you are not here anymore

Translation notes:
舞い散る百合の花　蕾のまま
愛おしく　ただ思ってたのに
そばで消えた
Interpretation 1: The lilies danced down, like buds. Despite I thought they were lovely
they disappeared from my side
Interpretation 2: As our love withered like buds that never had the chance to grow, I just thought about how much I loved you
but you disappeared from my side

The first interpretation is literally talking about the lilies that the swordswoman cut down in the field of lilies and roses she is standing in.

The second interpretation talks about their forbidden love (the symbolism of the lilies) and how that died down before it could bloom (they were still young and had not reach maturity -> bloomed yet). The 愛おしく is then more freely translated as "I love you" instead of "how lovely you were".

空に翳した剣 (Sora ni Kazashita Tsurugi) - The Sword I held towards the Sky - Romaji and Translation

Unconsciously locking away painful memories after a traumatic event, dissociative amnesia. The girl suddenly remembers why she took up the sword, to save the life of the one most dear to her.

 Translation:

酔いに紛れ　霞む穢れた糸
たぐり寄せた　腕は細くて
縛る糸を　勝ち切りたい衝動
雨で滲み　消えはしなくて

yoi ni magire kasumu kegareta ito
taguri yoseta ude wa hosokute
shibaru ito wo kachikiritai shoudou
ame de nijimi kie wa shinakute

Gripped by intoxication, the stained thread blurred
The arms that pulled on me were so thin
The impulse of wanting to win over the thread that bound us
Even if it is soaked by the rain, it won't fade

禊を求めて取った剣は
反逆への近道で　
破滅の道となり　襲った

misogi wo motomete totta tsurugi wa
hangyaku he no chikamichi de
hametsu no michi to nari osotta

In search of a purification ritual, I took up my sword,
a shortcut to treason,
I feared it would become the road to destruction

解き放たれた記憶が
心を斬りつけた
刹那に歪んで　飛び散った日の惨劇
断罪を願った　君だけの私は
朽ち果てた心　灼ける痛みに耐え続けた

tokihanatareta kioku ga
kokoro wo kiri tsuketa
setsuna ni yugande tobichitta hi no sangeki
danzai wo negatta kimi dake no watashi wa
kuchihateta kokoro yakeru itami ni taetsudzuketa

The memories that were released
slashed through my heart
The tragedy of that day was distorted and scattered in a moment
The me that belonged to you alone wished for condemnation.
My heart rotted away and I continued to endure the burning pain

酔いに紛れ　揺れる破壊の意図
巡り廻る　声に抗う

yoi ni magire yureru hakai no ito
meguri meguru koe ni aragau

Gripped by intoxication, the threat of destruction wavered
I resist the voice that circles round and round

張り詰めた空に翳す剣は
君に捧げた誓いで
孤独の道となり襲った

haritsumeta sora ni kazasu tsurugi wa
kimi ni sasageta chikai de
kodoku no michi to nari osotta

The sword I held up to the tense sky
was dedicated to you and I feared
that our vow would become a road of loneliness

突き放された想いが　
心を斬りつけた
何処までも駆けて　散りゆくだけの世界で
革命を願った　君だけの私は
溢れ出す涙　気づかずにただ耐え忍んだ

tsukihanasareta omoi ga
kokoro wo kiri tsuketa
dokomademo kakete chiriyuku dake no sekai de
kakumei wo negatta kimi dake no watashi wa
afuredasu namida kidzukazu ni tada taeshi nonda

The feelings that I had thrown away
slashed through my heart
I will run anywhere in this world that only continues to decay
The me that belonged to you alone wished for revolution
Without noticing the tears that overflowed, I continued to endure

過去と未来に振るった剣は
永遠に似た呪いで
絶望の道となり襲った

kako to mirai ni furutta tsurugi wa
eien ni nita noroi de
zetsubou no michi to nari osotta

The sword that I wielded in the past and the future
was a curse that resembled eternity
I feared that it would turn into a road of despair

解き放たれた想いが　
心を斬りつけた
何処までも駆けて　散りゆくだけの世界で
断罪を願った　君だけの私は
朽ち果てた心　灼ける痛みに耐え続けた

tokihanasareta omoi ga
kokoro wo kiri tsuketa
dokomademo kakete chiriyuku dake no sekai de
danzai wo negatta kimi dake no watashi wa
kuchihateta kokoro yakeru itami ni tae tsudzuketa

The memories that were released
slashed through my heart
I will run anywhere in this world that only continues to decay
The me that belonged to you alone wished for condemnation.
My heart rotted away and I continued to endure the burning pain

Translation note:

- 揺れる破壊の意図,  the threat of destruction wavered

I have chosen the word 'threat" to translate 意図, which actually means intention. This is because
"意図" is pronounced as いと. In the first verse, you have 糸, which is also pronounced as
いと. I tried to mirror this in English by using a homophone.

剣と私の序曲 (Tsurugi to Watashi no Jokyoku) - The Prologue of Me and My Sword - Romaji and Translation

The story of a poor girl who starts taking up a sword to fight fate starts here. She literally runs over the entire world to fulfil her wish and promise to the one she lost.

Translation:

It happened once upon a time.
There was a girl living in peace and quiet.
Why did this gentle girl choose the sad path of wielding a sword?
The story behind it is fierce.

The sadness of losing a loved one.
The anger of not being able to protect her precious home
The vows made to the homeland
and the sky where she madly ran with a sword in hand.
To overcome all these, the only way left for her was to take to the sword

咲いた花びら　すくう様に
真っ直ぐに包み込んだ光
ただ脆く　儚い幻想
私はただ恐れてた

saita hanabira sukuu you ni
massugu ni tsutsumikonda hikari
tada moroku hakanai gensou
watashi wa tada osoreteta

As if saving flower petals that had bloomed out
Light immediately wrapped them up
It was just a brittle fleeting illusion
while I only feared

守りたいと願った居場所を
守る事も出来なく　地に落ちた
時の流れ　静かに動いた
走る　迷いは無くて

mamoritai to negatta ibasho wo
mamoru koto mo dekinaku chi ni ochita
toki no nagare shizuka ni ugoita
hashiru mayoi wa nakute

I wished to protect the place where I belonged
Unale to protect it, I fell to the ground
The flow of time silently moved
And I ran, without hesitation

剣を翳して　なぎ払う
そんな私の　物語
受け止めてくれる　君がいなくても
いつの日か君と　誓い合った
私との未来　この胸に刻み込む

tsurugi wo kazashite nagiharau
sonna watashi no sutoori
uketomete kureru kimi ga inakutemo
itsu no hi ga kimi to chikai atta
watashi to no mirai kono mune ni kizamikomu

I held up a sword and mowed down
That is my story
I have accepted and vowed, even if you are not here
That someday a future with me and you will come,
I carve it in my chest

夢と幻の中で
記憶の川を泳ぎ始めた
ただ弱く　優しい幻想
私はただ探してた

yume to maboroshi no naka de
kioku no kawa wo oyogi hajimeta
tada yowaku yasashii gensou
watashi wa tada sagashiteta

Amidst dreams and illusions
I started swimming in the river of memories
I only found weak and gentle illusions
but, I was only looking for you

生きる術を　探してた君は
生きる意味も解ら　ただもがく
時の流れ　静かに進んだ
駆けた　未来見据えて

ikiru sube wo sagashiteta kimi wa
ikiru imi mo wakarazu tada mogaku
toki no nagare shizuka ni susunda
kaketa mirai misuete

You were looking for a way to live
Without understanding the meaning of living, you just struggled
The flow of time silently moved forward
And I dashed, setting my eyes on our future

剣を翳して　振り払う
私が歩んだ　歴史
供に歩んできた　君がいなくても
いつの日か　君と誓い合った
私との終焉　この胸に刻み込む

tsurugi wo kazashite furiharau
watashi ga ayunda hisutori
tomo ni ayundekita kimi ga inakutemo
itsu no hi ka kimi to chikai atta
watashi to no owari kono mune ni kizamikomu

I held a sword and shook off
the history that I walked,
the history we two walked, and even if you are no longer there
I vowed to you that someday
An end with you and me will come, I carve it in my chest

剣と私の序曲

It happened once upon a time.
There was a girl living in peace and quiet.
Why did this gentle girl choose the sad path of wielding a sword?
The story behind it is fierce.

The sadness of losing a loved one.
The anger of not being able to protect her precious home
The vows made to the homeland
and the sky where she madly ran with a sword in hand.
To overcome all these, the only way left for her was to take to the sword

咲いた花びら　すくう様に
真っ直ぐに包み込んだ光
ただ脆く　儚い幻想
私はただ恐れてた

守りたいと願った居場所を
守る事も出来なく　地に落ちた
時の流れ　静かに動いた
走る　迷いは無くて

剣を翳して　なぎ払う
そんな私の　物語
受け止めてくれる　君がいなくても
いつの日か君と　誓い合った
私との未来　この胸に刻み込む

夢と幻の中で
記憶の川を泳ぎ始めた
ただ弱く　優しい幻想
私はただ探してた

生きる術を　探してた君は
生きる意味も解ら　ただもがく
時の流れ　静かに進んだ
駆けた　未来見据えて

剣を翳して　振り払う
私が歩んだ　歴史
供に歩んできた　君がいなくても
いつの日か　君と誓い合った
私との終焉　この胸に刻み込む

空に翳した剣

酔いに紛れ　霞む穢れた糸
たぐり寄せた　腕は細くて
縛る糸を　勝ち切りたい衝動
雨で滲み　消えはしなくて

禊を求めて取った剣は
反逆への近道で　
破滅の道となり　襲った

解き放たれた記憶が
心を斬りつけた
刹那に歪んで　飛び散った日の惨劇
断罪を願った　君だけの私は
朽ち果てた心　灼ける痛みに耐え続けた

酔いに紛れ　揺れる破壊の意図
巡り廻る　声に抗う

張り詰めた空に翳す剣は
君に捧げた誓いで
孤独の道となり襲った

突き放された想いが　
心を斬りつけた
何処までも駆けて　散りゆくだけの世界で
革命を願った　君だけの私は
溢れ出す涙　気づかずにただ耐え忍んだ

過去と未来に振るった剣は
永遠に似た呪いで
絶望の道となり襲った

解き放たれた想いが　
心を斬りつけた
何処までも駆けて　散りゆくだけの世界で
断罪を願った　君だけの私は
朽ち果てた心　灼ける痛みに耐え続けた

赤と白の薔薇

緩やかな　川の音
優しい　木漏れ日の匂い
君と来た　約束の
場所に　佇む

楽しい声　悲しい声
全て　今も覚えてる
君と来た　約束の
森に　佇む

突然落ちた　君の一命
何が起きたか　解らなかった

咲き乱れてた　薔薇の花が
笑った君を見てたから
すぐ　花を斬りつけた
舞い散る百合の花　蕾のまま
愛おしく　ただ思ってたのに
そばで消えた

村を出て　駆けた森
手には　剣を握ってた
悪夢から　逃げだして
赴くままに

瞳閉じても　君の横顔
凍り付いてた　最期の笑顔

何も知らない　薔薇の花が
笑って私を見たから
すぐ　花を斬り捨てた
舞い散る百合の花　秘密の愛
愛おしく　ただ思ってたのに
そばで消えた

伝えたかった　言えなかった
私の恋情の全て
でも　それは誰のせい？
舞い散る百合の花　空に誓う
いつの日か　取り戻すよ
君は居ないけれど

嘘と剣の契約

碧空に　祈りを込め歌う
罪と終焉の歌
風にさらわれた
祈りが滲んだ空

磨かれた甲冑　騎士の列
誇りを王に捧げる姿
赦されぬ思い抱く　私の目には
弱く　儚く見えた

忍び込んだ　宮殿で
一振りの剣を見た
高鳴る鼓動　抑えても
瞳は剥がせない

蒼白の刃を　振り翳す
澄んだ剣閃が飛ぶ
揺れる　嘆きの空
果てなく　続いていた

磨かれた城壁　高い窓
錆付いた門静かに叩く
交わされた契約　祈りの代償
科せられた使命は

偽り　嘘が蝕んだ
醜い争いの死地
幾度と行くも　終わらない
瞳に写る叫び

蒼空の瞳が　語る闇
済んだ剣閃の痕
荒ぶ　紅蓮の地が
果てなく　続いていた

踏むしめた　大地の祈りが
行く手を阻む　亡者を斬る

風に乗せた歌が　君に届くまでは
駆けた　この地で　歌い続ける

君に捧ぐ終焉

戦う事を避けてきた　昔の私は居ない
透き通る　蒼い剣構えた

久しく帰ってきたこの地で　最後の制裁
風が運んで来た想いを　一つに重ね
駆ける

冷たい風　高い空　鋭い刃　空を斬った
射し込む剣を　ただ貴方は見てた
兵士を斬る　軍を斬る　地を駆ける　飛び交う　殺意を
全身に受け止め
ただ進む

あの恐怖から逃げてきた　昔の私はいない
迫りくる　赤い矢を弾いた

まるで夢のような光景　最後の忠誠
風が運んできた歌声　一つに重ね
統べる

今　輝く空を見た　雲が晴れ　ただ息を吞んだ
差し込む光を　ただ私は見てた
兵士を斬る　軍を斬る　地を駆けた　愚かな行為を
全身に受け止め
ただ泣いた

射し込んだ　天使の梯子
輝く空　君との約束
祈り

これまで歩んできた　長い道　最初の誓いに
応えたあの日の　想い変わらない
兵士を斬る　軍を斬る　地を駆ける　頬伝う涙
全身に受け止め
ただ走る

もし君に　会える　事叶うなら
その時は　全て　想い伝える
これは　君と終焉の歌
最後まで　歌い続けるから

碧空に誓った終焉の剣 ( Hekikuu ni Chikatta Shuuen no Tsurugi) - CD Presentation page

Apparently I somehow thought that CD 1, 2 and 3 are a trilogy (once again, why do i start picking up stories at entry 3... (cries)), but Paspal told me that the stories could be enjoyed individually as well! Nevertheless I decided to translate the first 2 CDs. So here we go. CD presentation page for the 1st Symholic CD "碧空に誓った終焉の剣 ( Hekikuu ni Chikatta Shuuen no Tsurugi)". This CD was released almost 10 years ago!! This is still a preview page and things may change when I have translated the full CD.

I actually did not plan to translate this CD because I thought this CD was a bit... uhm... not so nice. I think the music is good, Paspal was like 20-21 when he made this CD, that is amazing, but the vocals are just really out of place. I'm not really a fan of Aosaki Shizuku. Her voice is a bit bland and idiosyncractic and fails to carry the heaviness of the story to me in some of the songs.

This CD tells the story of why the Swordswoman of Purgatory from Zahnrad took up the sword and started to fight. Haven't heard the XFD?

I think the order in which I like the songs is 5>2>4>1>3
