Lyrics
Intro – Whisper / Ambient Chant
Oh seeker of the way…
おお、道を求める者よ…
Listen… listen…
聴け…その静けさを…
Hook – Choir Motif
Un-drawn blade, stay… stay…
抜かれぬ刃よ…そこにあれ…
No enemy, no name… no pain…
敵もなく…名もなく…痛みもなし…
Verse 1
Look at the blade in your hand
その手にある刃を見よ
Not to divide… not to break
断つためにあらず…壊すためにあらず
Given to still the storm within
内なる嵐を鎮めるために授けられしもの
Silence is sharper than steel
沈黙こそが…鋼よりも鋭い
Pre-Chorus
If you draw it, fear has spoken
抜けば、それは恐れの声
If you don’t… light is already there
抜かねば、すでに光の中
Drop Chorus – Emotional Peak
Un-drawn blade… no war begins
抜かれぬ刃…戦いは起こらぬ
No division, no within
分かたれしものは消えゆく
You don’t cut, you don’t defend
斬らず…守らず…
All returns… to One again
すべては…ひとつへ還る
Verse 2 – Call & Response
(Lead)
Who is the enemy?
敵は誰だ？
(Choir)
There is none… none…
それは無い…無い…
(Lead)
Who must be protected?
守るべきものは？
(Choir)
Nothing to divide…
分かつものはない…
(Lead)
Then why the blade?
ならば、なぜ刃はある？
(Choir)
To remain… un-drawn…
ただ、抜かれぬために…
Bridge – Quiet Realization
You were never attacked
汝は、斬られてなどいない
You were never apart
汝は、分かたれてなどいない
The fear was a shadow
恐れは影にすぎず
The blade… was your heart
その刃こそが…汝の心
Final Drop – Expanded Chorus
No blade, no wound, no end, no start
刃なく 傷なく 終わりも始まりもなく
No other lives inside your heart
他なるものは 心に存在せず
Un-drawn… un-done… undone…
抜かれず…為されず…ただ在る…
All is One… All is One…
すべては一つ…すべては一つ…
Outro – Fading Prayer
Stay the blade…
刃を留めよ…
Not by force…
力にあらず…
But by knowing…
ただ、知ることによりて…
There was never…
はじめより…
Anything to cut…
斬るものなど…無かった…
