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.
