Only children survived in the abandoned barren land
They hold each other’s small hands
And believe unconditionally, that in sickness and in health…
“We share our joy and pain”
Blessed Messiah and the Tower of AI
Divine judgement executed on arrogant and overly wise sheep
Who thought they could replace God
“The tower of Ai” preventing the world's destruction (note: Ai means love or sorrow in Japanese)
With the world's lifespan lit on the top of the tower
The kingdom's messenger brought to the village of youth
A prophecy
The oracle delivered to the seamstress
To be the next “Honorable Messiah”
The “Blessing” protected in the tower
Are 9 “glories” only a messiah can receive
We will come with you to the tower
To prevent the death of our paradise
“To get me a blessing…” beat your heart out
Try as hard as you can to get yourself a glory…
Take your friend’s hand, if you trust and help each other
Then you have nothing to fear
At the first blessing
She reached out to the door of the swirling “Blooming Waves”
Unexpectedly, Starlight put her hands over hers and said
“We share our joy and pain (Ahahaha!)”
The Messiah was pushed away and the first blessing was stolen
Those friends seemed to hate each other
At the second door the swordswoman threw herself
Into the “Fire Banquets” with red eyes
The elder sister won the “Graceful Sunlight”
And smiled complacently
The frustrated younger sister
Moved forward to the “Peaceful Darkness”
“I am the one… I was chosen…” “You can’t keep it all to yourself… we won’t let you…”
Does “greed” change a person?
The monk said a prayer to the “Trembling Earth”
The poet hummed the “Rumble of Thunder”
“To get me a blessing…” clarify your mind
Grab a glory as fast as you can…
Where have all my friends gone… is everyone against me?
Get rid of the love that has faded away
The dancer swayed to the “Rondo of Whirlwind”
The twin sister pushed her brother away
And stepped into the “Garden of Silver Snow”
Her tears of joy froze before they left her eyes
The ninth blessing is the sleeping “Fetal Movement of Magma”
The twin brother deceived the Messiah
And proudly smiled
Betrayed by her trusted friends
All the “blessings” were stolen
Holding up a torch with no flame
She walks to the altar…
The true meaning of the “blessings” sealed in the tower
…was the Messiah's “atonement”
You, the Messiah who got through this ordeal with these “sacrifices”
Now, extend the life of paradise
Even as we are drowning in the rough sea, dancing in the hellfire
Decaying in a merciless drought
Losing our sanity in the endless darkness,
And swallowed by the earth
We won’t let you go by yourself
Even as we are struck by the lightning of judgment,
Torn by the hurricane
Frozen to the bones and soul,
Crawling through the lava
We won’t stop believing, that in sickness and in health…
“We share our joy and pain”
With all these innocent sacrifices, continue this torch relay
The chains of foolishness that will never be broken…
Helped by her trusted friends
She raises up the torch
The glorious sound of the dawn's bells ring
The Messiah who accepted God’s will
Silently smiling alone… (Ahahah!)
She has just created nine sorrows
Now she reaches her hands to the altar.
