神サマごっこ(Playing God)
[Baroque Rock] [Avant-Garde Pop] [Jazz Rock] [Gothic Orchestral] [Mood] Theatrical and ironic, blending religious grandeur with carnal satire, A sermon in chaos — sacred and sinful at once, Combines sharp wit, sensual delivery, and a sense of divine mockery, Vocals are expressive, playful, commanding — alternating between whispered devotion and shouted heresy, [Instrumentation] Pipe organ and harpsichord open in counterpoint, joined by metallic percussion, upright bass, and staccato strings, Electric guitar enters with bluesy dissonance, Horns punctuate phrases like exclamations, Syncopated jazz-rock drums drive a ritualistic waltz, Choirs swell beneath vocal theatrics — half sermon, half seduction

【序】
祈れ
祈れ
救えぬモノほど 尊し
鐘が鳴る
曖昧な 正義の音
【一】
信じたい？
なら 信じなさい
「もっと」
深く 沈めば
見えるでしょう？
水面に映る
己の顔を
「神」と呼ぶのは
誰の都合かしら
聖書よりも
マニュアルが聖い
「嗚呼」
愛など 既に 化石よ
【祈唱】
立て
這え
赦されずとも 誇りなさい
「堕ちよ」
醒めよ
「飲め」
捨てよ
骨ごと 喰らい尽くせ
帰依せぬ者に 明日は無い
【崇拝】
踊れ 踊れ
崇拝のリズムで
偽りも
本音も
均しく 美しい
嗤え
泣け
許せ
信仰は 恋に似ている
嗚呼、私は まだ 飢えている
【二】
香を焚いて
罪を飾る
「手を」
合わせるほどに
浅ましく
誓いの言葉
甘く 腐る
奇跡の値段
いくらでしたっけ？
紙切れの神に 膝をつき
「嗚呼」
赦しとは 便利な虚構
【啓示】
「愛ハ救イ」
「救イハ欺キ」
私ハ私ヲ 信ジ切レズニ
「光ノ裏側デ 産声アゲタ」
祈れ
堕ちれ
燃エ尽キル迄
【終焉】
嗤え 嗤え
崇拝のリズムで
傷跡も
名も無き夜も
照らし出せ
踊れ
叫べ
祈れ
「信仰」ト呼バレタ
熱病ヨ
嗚呼、私は 今も 信じている
【余白】
嗤エ
嗤エ
嗤エ
この世界が 終わるまで
嗤エ
嗤エ
嗤エ
この世界が 終わるまで

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
【Prologue】
Pray.
Pray.
The unsaved, how sacred they are.
The bell tolls
a hazy echo of justice.
【I】
You wish to believe?
Then go on, believe.
“Deeper…”
Sink far enough,
and you’ll see it, won’t you?
Your face,
reflected on the water’s skin
Who decided
to call that “God”?
More sacred than Scripture,
the manual lies.
“Ah…”
Love has long turned fossil.
【Invocation】
Rise.
Crawl.
Be proud, even unforgiven.
“Fall.”
Awaken.
“Drink.”
Abandon.
Devour
bones and all.
For the faithless,
there is no tomorrow.
【Reverence】
Dance,
dance,
to the rhythm of worship.
Falsehood,
truth
equally beautiful.
Laugh.
Weep.
Forgive.
Faith is not unlike love.
Ah, I am still
so very hungry.
【II】
Burn the incense,
dress up your sin.
“Hands together.”
The more you pray,
the smaller you become.
Words of vow
sweet, then spoiled.
And miracles
how much did they cost again?
Kneeling before
a god made of paper,
“Ah…”
Forgiveness, such a convenient fiction.
【Revelation】
“Love is salvation.”
“Salvation is deceit.”
I could not
believe in myself completely.
“In the underside of light,
I drew my first breath.”
Pray.
Fall.
Burn until nothing remains.
【Final Worship】
Laugh.
Laugh,
to the rhythm of devotion.
Even scars,
even nameless nights
shine all the same.
Dance.
Scream.
Pray.
O fever once called
“faith”
Ah, I still
believe in you.
【Afterglow】
Laugh.
Laugh.
Laugh
until the world itself
ends.
Laugh.
Laugh.
Laugh
until the world itself
ends.
