冥鳴フィアンサイユ Act：Ⅱ

(Meimei Fiancailles Act: II, The Vampire Bride Act II)

Here’s the youtube playlist

All songs composed by: リゼ

1. Prelude -Fiancailles II-

She held on to his cold body and then ran out, wandering aimlessly until she heard a familiar sound. She approached the king and told him of everything that had happened. And so the fortune teller who quietly listened took notice.

2. -黎きフィアンサイユ

(Kuroki Fiancailles, The Black Bride)

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki

aoki yo no kage wa hakanaku shu wo seoi kuzureta anata no sugata wa hai to naru

A fleeting shadow covered in red within the blue night Your crumbling self is fading into ashes

dorehodo yobikakete mo hirakanu kono kodou tsuki ni inoru watashi wa muryoku na koe de naita

This heart will not beat no matter how much I call out As I pray under the moon with this powerless crying voice

sono me ni wa mou utsuranai sono ai wa mou yami ni ochite tsumetaku kooritsuita

Those eyes won't look back at me That love has already frozen and sunk into the abyss

furueru yubi de anata ni fure demo sayonara wa iwazuni nokosareta sekai ni hikari wa naku sora wa zetsubou he somaru kedo koboreta namida todoku you ni anata no mune ni hitotsubu tozasareta futari no to anata ni wa kitto te no naka ni aru

My fingers tremble as I graze you yet I will not say my farewell This world is being left without light for me and the sky is being colored by despair A single teardrop falls to your chest Surely we hold the key to open the path between us

dorehodo megutta darou anata no kage wa naku oikakeru tsuki wa mada watashi wo nirami tsukete

No matter how much I search there's not a shadow left of you as the moon creeps up judging me

sono me ni wa mou utsuranai sono karada mou yami ni ochite mayoeru senritsu wo

Those eyes won't look back at me That body has already fallen to the darkness shrouded in a lost melody

karameta yubi de anata ni tou watashi no naka no subete ga kowareteku sekai ni tsumi torarete ima mo zetsubou wo kobamu kedo tsukisasu koe de inori sasageru demo yume kara wa samezu ni kaserareta shukumei aragau you ni zutto sakebi tsutsuketa

I beg for you with all my being as our fingers are intertwined Even if this world is falling apart I will still reject this despair I pray with this shrieking voice yet I cannot wake from this dream I'll keep screaming as I fight to undo this fate

furueru yubi de anata ni fure demo sayonara wa iwazuni nokosareta sekai ni hikari wa naku sora wa zetsubou he somaru kedo

My fingers tremble as I graze you yet I will not say my farewell This world is being left without light for me and it's sky is being colored by despair

karameta yubi de anata ni tou watashi no naka no subete ga kowareteku sekai ni tsumi torarete ima mo zetsubou wo kobamu kedo afureru omoi hibiku you ni anata no mune ni hitohira tozasareta futari no to anata ni wa kitto te no naka ni aru

I beg for you with all my being as our fingers are intertwined Even if this world is falling apart I will still reject this despair These overflowing feelings resonate with your heart Surely we hold the key to open the path between us

3. 鮮血の衝動

(Senketsu no shoudou, Deadly Impulse)

Vocals: Luna

hada no nukumori samanu mama ni yamiyo wo nukete omoikaesu ano egao itoshisa wa afurete

Your hands still hold some warmth in this dark night I recall your smile had such overflowing love in it

tsukikage wo se ni basha wa kakeru watashi wo nosete akui wo himeta kigi wa yureru fuon na kage

A carriage rushes bathed in moonlight as it carries me The evil within the woods is palpable and it's shades are disturbing

iki hisome yami no naka shikai wa yurete shinobiyoru akuma no kage ga kiba wo muita

My vision shakes as I take deep breaths within the darkness for the approaching demon bears it's fangs

shiroki hada wo okasu kuroki yaiba wa subete nomikomi akaku somaru kubisuji wa naku too no ku ishigi de

The black blade attacking the fair skin engulfs it all The bloodstained neck lets out a distant screech

me wo samaseba yami ni hitori shikai wa yurete fui ni honnou ga yobikakeru shi no shoudou

Awakening in this darkness with vision all blurry and a deadly impulse begging for fresh blood

miru mono subete ga mabushikute subete kui tsukushitakute akaku somaru kubisuji dake ga watashi wo irodoru

Everything is so dazzling, everything looks so tasty The red on my neck is the one color around

kegarawashiku minikui watashi dakara hitomi wo tojita sugata de aishiteiru anata dake wa ushinaitakunai kara

My tainted unsightly self makes me close my eyes You're the one thing I don't want to lose

nemuru anata ni kuchizuke wo itsuka aeru to negatte soshite hitori mezameru mae ni yami wo matoi yuku

I kiss your sleeping self, wishing to meet you again and before you awaken, I shroud myself in darkness

4. Reunion

Vocals: Luna

kurai mori wo nukete yami to tomo ni samayoi tsutsuketa sora ni ukabu anata no kage habataki oikakete

Still wandering through the darkness of the forest Chasing after the traces of your shadow

kitsukeba minareta keshiki no naka tatazumu watashi wa mune ni himeta zetsubou ga ame wo furasu

Before I noticed I was in a familiar place With despair pouring down within my heart

hibiki wataru koe ni furikaeri iki mo dekinu hodo ni tomedo naku afureru omoi ochite

A voice makes me turn back and I can't hold my breath As these abundant feelings spill forth

namida ni nureta watashi no hoho ga dakiyoseru anata nurashite yureru tsukiyo ni terasarete muryoku na sora miageta kakeyoru ikue mono nukumori ga majiwaru kiseki utsushite matataku tomoshibi wo daite kare wo omoi naki sakebu

These cheeks soaked in tears are held by the king Within the waning moonlight I helplessly look at the sky I'm met with so many layers of warmth And lit by the fading lanterns I cry out for him

chikara naku kuzureta kare no koto wo furueru kotoba de tsutaete yureru tsukiyo ni terasarete rouba wa iu

While trembling I tell him about him who has collapsed entirely And lit by the moon the old woman simply says

inore

Pray

ikudo no yoru wo mo koete tadayou kokoro he todoku hodo dakishimeru koto mo dekizu ni hitori omoi naita

To reach his drifting heart through all these nights Unable to even hold him, I continue to weep only for him

The sky at dawn gradually gains color soaring a burning voice and it's words

It is your hand that brought me back That and your eternal love

I suddenly realized I was at the depths of despair Unable to see. Unable to hear. Trembling at the sight of my distorted view Tainted in darkness and ruled by grief

When suddenly a blinding light shone upon me and your fingers traced through my neck pulling me closer

It is your hand that brought me back It is your love that guided me Your eyes are like flower buds blooming in my heart I'll be forever with your love

We embraced each other so hard that time seemed to stop Let's never be apart from each other and let us dance until dawn

It is your hand that brought me back It is your love that guided me Your eyes are like flower buds blooming in my heart I'll be forever with your love

Your voice is so close to me I can feel your love No curse or demon could tear us apart Nothing can tear the two of us apart

7. Postlude－Fiancailles Ⅱ－

Their wedding was thrown with such joy that all night long the king and guests celebrated with smiles on their faces. No demon or curse could tear these two ones apart. With love overflowing from their hearts, they lived happily ever after.

So yea, this is the rare Ariabl’eyeS album that actually has a happy ending. I for one could not be any more shocked by this. Still: what the hell happened. Did they really just pray it all away and true love worked it’s magic? That’s honestly a bit underwhelming for me, like it really isn’t much of a “story”. But hey, at least the music is really good, I’d say kuroki fiansaiyu really takes the cake, the bridge is surprisingly funky and I really like it.
