静かに降る灰の雨
(Quietly, the rain of ash falls)
沈む棺に触れる指
(Fingers touch the sinking coffin)
花は枯れ、色を失くし
(The flowers wither, losing their color)
死者は眠らない
(The dead do not sleep)

響く鐘の音が裂ける
(The sound of bells splits the air)
唇に浮かぶ黒い笑み
(A black smile rises on their lips)
「死は終わりじゃない」と
(“Death is not the end,” they say)
囁きが揺れる
(A whisper trembles)

これは葬送の讃美歌
(This is the funeral hymn)
腐る声で歌う命
(A rotting voice sings of life)
骨も、皮も、溶けるまで
(Bones and skin, until they melt away)
美しい死を奏でる
(A beautiful death is played)

冷えた手が目を閉じる
(Cold hands close the eyes)
吐息さえも凍りつく
(Even the sighs freeze)
足元で蠢く影
(Shadows wriggle at their feet)
死者は微笑む
(The dead smile)

沈む鐘の音が響く
(The sinking bell’s sound echoes)
耳元で甘く囁く
(A sweet whisper at the ear)
「終わりは始まり」と
(“The end is the beginning,” they say)
静かに泣いて
(They cry softly)

これは葬送の讃美歌
(This is the funeral hymn)
腐る声で歌う命
(A rotting voice sings of life)
骨も、皮も、溶けるまで
(Bones and skin, until they melt away)
美しい死を奏でる
(A beautiful death is played)

目蓋の下、赤い涙
(Beneath the eyelids, red tears)
心臓の音がゆっくりと
(The heartbeat slows)
さよならさえ言えずに
(Without even saying goodbye)
闇に溶ける
(Dissolving into darkness)

これは葬送の讃美歌
(This is the funeral hymn)
腐る声で歌う命
(A rotting voice sings of life)
骨も、皮も、溶けるまで
(Bones and skin, until they melt away)
美しい死を奏でる
(A beautiful death is played)

静かに… 静かに…
(Quietly... quietly...)
讃美歌が終わる
(The hymn ends)
