色褪せた 墨の跡

Vestigia memoriae

黄昏の光のように

Sicut lux crepusculi

記憶は遠く霞む

Memoria evanescit

Tarde veniens epistula

灰となった絆の中で

Inter vitam et mortem

隔たる世界の境界線

消えた影に手を伸ばす

時の扉は閉ざされ

守るべきものの重さに

月下に誓った約束

水のように滲み広がる

Diffunditur ut aqua

言葉にならない想い

Sensus ineffabilis

重ねた紙の裏側に

In tergo chartae

Veritas celata

枯れた大地を 潤す雨

Ultra temporis voraginem

鈍色の空の下で

In absentia, praesentia

風化した石の記憶

許されぬ絆の行方

Animam tuam in corde

長い歳月を超え響く

消えた影に手を伸ばす

時の扉は閉ざされ

守るべきものの重さに

月下に誓った約束

古き書に記された

Antiquo libro scriptum

二つの魂の密かな誓い

Duarum animarum arcanum iuramentum

Tempus fugit,

amor manet

This song was born from the concept of expressing the overwhelming emotions one feels upon receiving a letter from someone who has passed away.

The alternating use of Japanese and Latin was a deliberate choice to express the contrast between two worlds. Just as ancient and modern languages coexist in the lyrics, the piece explores the simultaneous existence of past and present, the realms of the living and the departed. Latin phrases such as "Tarde veniens epistula" (A letter arriving too late), "Inter vitam et mortem" (Between life and death), and "Tempus fugit, amor manet" (Time flies, but love remains) were chosen to convey timeless sentiments that resonate across centuries.

Musically, the composition fuses traditional operatic elements with contemporary expressions, with the emotions evoked by a letter arriving too late, carrying words from beyond our reach.
