ELFENSJóN - ZENITH (English Translation by me) When the bell tolls far away, heralding the dawn Now the (world) peels away and turns white. You keep believing in falsehoods. Your eyes lose their light. I carve a stain on the nebulous innocence. We have nothing to fear from false rulers. Fallen ones, with plucked wings Fly the destiny spun I'll go crazy if the hymn to God never ceases to ring Cleave the darkness Oh, shatter our distorted (world), swallow our weakness The more I embrace the shadow that creeps up, the more it turns to ash The doubts that have sprouted in the depths of my (heart) Is there no trick to waking up? Seeing the footsteps of a foolish being The empty moon laughs Whoever goes with me, let go of your fears. Break the bonds of fate. If the distant pledge bells never stop ringing Doubt, puncture it Now the (world)'s been stripped away. Paint it black with your hands. Innocent bird in search of answers, move on. Fallen ones, with plucked wings Fly the destiny spun No matter how many times the towering darkness consumes our souls It will never end. My raised voice lit up the dark night The song of the dawn that continues to play Seeking the truth about the twin moons* The soul is in the darkness of disaster Oh, shatter the distorted (illusion), swallow your fear In the morning glow that stains indigo Leaving a resounding bell Note : World(世界) and illusion(幻想) are interchangeable in this song, but I preferred to distribute their use to not cause confusion. It seemed to me that some part of lyrics is referencing the Single trio of DAWN, ECLIPSE, and Magatsu Yami ni Utau(禍つ闇に詠う) which I believed had the theme of twin moons.
Enjoyed the arrangement on this one a lot, and ELFENSJóN starting to work with Hanatan was such a perfect move. They're creating banger after banger together.
Their songs keep getting better. Hanatan’s voice straight up overkills this shit. Also what was the budget of the animation? And we even got new characters too!?
man I really can't keep up with these characters, first we got lilith, I don't even know what her role is, then astral and elisia, two demon siblings searching for a witch or something and then eventually astral was killed by his sister, then seth and alstrœmeria, seth is akin to the styx river ferryman but I don't even know who alstrœmeria is but from my guess is an innocent soul that was robbed of her life, and then angetsu and byakuya from eclipse, dawn, and magatsu yami no utau, I don't know who they are at all, then this new character who I don't even know the name of, I'd wager she's either the witch or an angel.
Holy hell... The music is great as always, but gotta say the artist really knocked it out of the park with the character design. I want it as wallpaper.
