The Moon Remembers

เนื้อเพลง

**Cecilia — Solo** *Viking-inspired pop rock • Thunderous war drums • Distorted guitars • Nordic horns • Soaring female vocals* [INTRO — Cold wind, distant horn, slow war drums] [CECILIA — Low, almost whispered] They buried my name beneath the mountain. They left no stone to mark the place. But something stirred beneath the winter— And the moon remembered my face. [Drums strike. Guitars rise.] [VERSE 1] Salt on my lips and frost in my hair, Black sails pulling at the midnight air. I stand at the bow where the cold waves climb, With a broken past and a borrowed sky. Fifty winters in a stranger’s land, Still that mountain shakes inside my hands. I’ve heard them whisper, “She should have stayed.” Let them come and tell me to my face. [PRE-CHORUS — Driving toms, rising melody] 氷を砕け、目を覚ませ *Break the ice—awaken.* 失くした名前を取り戻せ *Take back the name you lost.* I feel the thunder under my skin— Strike that drum. Let the storm come in! [CHORUS — Huge guitars, soaring lead] Raise the sails! Let the black waves roll! I’ve got a fire that the frost can’t hold. Call my name from the farthest shore— I am the girl they buried before. Oh-oh— Let the heavens shake! Oh-oh— Hear the mountain break! If the whole world leaves me out to die, The moon remembers— SO WILL I! [POST-CHORUS — Stomping drums, layered self-harmonies] Hey! Hey! Pull against the tide! Hey! Hey! Keep that flame alive! 月よ、私を照らして *Moon, shine upon me.* この声を海の果てまで *Carry this voice to the ends of the sea.* [VERSE 2 — Rhythmic, gritty delivery] Dragon Fang wrapped around my wrist, Amethyst waking through the ocean mist. Every dark spell thrown across my way Feeds the crystal till it burns like day. Power comes easy when the shadows call; Knowing when to stop is the harder part. I see that violet turning almost white— I must spend the storm or become its light. So I crack my whip at the gathering cloud, Let the trapped dark thunder come pouring out. The mast holds fast and the deck runs clear— For one more breath, I am still here. [PRE-CHORUS — Bass drops away, vocals climb] 闇にこの身を渡さない *I will not surrender myself to darkness.* 帰る場所を忘れない *I will not forget where I belong.* Eri, your promise against my heart— A thread of stars When the skies fall apart. [CHORUS — Full band] Raise the sails! Let the black waves roll! I’ve got a fire that the frost can’t hold. Call my name from the farthest shore— I am the girl they buried before. Oh-oh— Let the heavens shake! Oh-oh— Hear the mountain break! If the whole world leaves me out to die, The moon remembers— SO WILL I! [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — Horn call, fiddle melody, guitar solo] [CECILIA — Shouted over pounding drums] Let the sea hear! Let the stone know! There’s a living heart Where the ice won’t grow! 進め！進め！ *Forward! Forward!* 嵐の向こうへ！ *Beyond the storm!* [Guitar cuts. One deep drum.] [BRIDGE — Soft strings, intimate vocal] Sometimes I wake with winter in my mouth. I reach for walls that aren’t around me now. No battle cry can chase away that fear— I count my breaths until the room is here. My sister leaves a lantern by the door. My love waits up; I hear her cross the floor. I used to think that strength meant standing lone— Now I have names that lead me home. 姉よ、あなたの声が聞こえる *Sister, I can hear your voice.* 愛しい人よ、必ず帰る *My love, I will return.* [BUILD — Heartbeat drums swell into a gallop] For the hand that found me— For the light left burning— For the life beyond that frozen door— I AM RETURNING! [FINAL CHORUS — Higher register, massive layered vocals] Raise the sails! Let the black waves roll! I’ve got a fire that the frost can’t hold. Call my name from the waiting shore— I’m coming home through the thunder’s roar. Oh-oh— Let the heavens shake! Oh-oh— See the morning break! They can carve my ending into ice— The moon remembers— SO WILL I! [FINAL REFRAIN — Stomps, guitar crashes] 何度でも立ち上がれ *Rise again, however many times it takes.* この命が燃えるまで *Until this life has burned its last.* Raise the sails! Raise them high! THE MOON REMEMBERS— SO WILL I! [OUTRO — Wind, fading strings] [CECILIA — Quietly] Leave the lantern burning. I can see the shore.
