Lyrics
(ah… oo… ah…)
古(いにしえ)の城 灯(ひ)は揺れ
誰かの影 庭を彷徨(さまよ)う
夜に咲いた 薔薇ひとつ
花弁の下 秘められた伝説
彼は言う「私の顔を見てはならぬ」
It’s the curse from the ancient dark
もしその瞳を覗き込めば
You will lose your song… and dreams
仮面(かめん)の下 無名の顔
In the darkness, you speak for me
怪物ではない ただ深淵の扉
孤独と渇望を 歌に変えて
闇の中で 壁は息をし
古(いにしえ)の声が 耳を満たす
足音ごとに 視線が刺さり
黒き影が 近づいてくる
もし仮面を外せば 救いが見えるのか
Or will the curse take my voice away?
潮のような囁きが 耳を満たし
手の中に 冷たい薔薇
仮面の下 もうひとつの私
In the darkness, I sing my soul
幻か 運命の人か
光と影の狭間で 最後の歌を——
Not knowing… if my voice will remain
(ah…)

古老的城 燈火搖曳
誰的身影 在庭院中徘徊
夜裡盛開 一朵薔薇
花瓣之下 藏著被遺忘的傳說
他說：「不可看見我的容顏」
那是來自遠古黑暗的詛咒
若凝視那雙眼
你將失去 你的歌與夢
面具之下 無名的臉
在黑暗中 你替我訴說
不是怪物 只是深淵的門扉
將孤獨與渴望 化作歌聲
黑暗之中 牆壁似在呼吸
古老的聲音 充滿耳際
每一步 視線如針般刺來
漆黑的影子 正漸漸逼近
若摘下面具 是否能見到救贖
或是詛咒將奪走我的聲音？
如潮水般的低語 灌滿耳際
掌心之中 冰冷的薔薇
面具之下 另一個我
在黑暗中 唱出靈魂
是真實 還是命運之人？
在光與影的夾縫間 獻上最後的歌——
不知 我的聲音是否還會存在
（啊…）

In the ancient castle, the lantern sways
A shadow wanders through the garden’s maze
One single rose that blooms in night’s embrace
A legend sleeps beneath its tender face
He said, “You must never see my face”
It’s the curse from the ancient dark
If you dare to gaze into those eyes
You will lose your song… and dreams
Beneath the mask, a nameless face
In the darkness, you speak for me
Not a monster, only the gate to the abyss
Turning loneliness and longing into song
Within the dark, the walls seem to breathe
Ancient voices fill my ears with whispers
Each step I take, sharp gazes pierce
A shadow black as night draws near
If I remove the mask, will I find salvation?
Or will the curse take my voice away?
Tidal whispers overflow my ears
In my hands, a rose so cold
Beneath the mask, another me
In the darkness, I sing my soul
A phantom… or the one fated for me?
Between the light and shadow, my final song—
Not knowing… if my voice will remain
(ah…)
