ZENITH // LYRICS

夜明けを告げる鐘遠く　鳴り響けば
今　幻想は　剥がれ落ち　白く染まる

まやかしを 信じ続け
その　眼は　光　失くす

朧な無垢に　穢れを刻む
偽りの　支配者たちを懼れることなど無い

堕ちてゆく者よ毟られた羽で
紡がれた 運命を翔べ
狂える　神に捧げる 賛歌が鳴り止まぬなら
闇を薙いで
あぁ　歪な幻想を砕き　弱さを　飲み込め

忍び寄る影を受け入れるほどに灰になる
魂の底で芽生えた　疑惑
目覚めるための術はない？

愚かな人間の足掻きを見て
虚ろな月が嗤う

共に往く者よ懼れなど捨てて
繋がれた 運命を断て
遠く聞こえる誓約の鐘が鳴り止まぬなら
迷い　穿て

今幻想は剥がれた
その手で黒塗り潰せ

答えを求めた無垢な鳥よ進め

堕ちてゆく者よ毟られた羽で
紡がれた 運命を翔べ
聳える闇が幾度　魂を蝕むとしても
終わらない

張り上げた声が闇夜を照らした
奏で続ける明けの詩
双子月が巡る真実を求め
魂は禍つ闇に

あぁ　歪な世界を砕き　懼れを飲み込め
藍を染める朝焼けに
響く鐘を残して

[YukiXK]

Hanatan has the most beautiful voice in the world

[kajdfaxia]

you give me a surprise every time. thankyou

[Mayuri-Mai]

Enjoyed the arrangement on this one a lot, and ELFENSJóN starting to work with Hanatan was such a perfect move. They're creating banger after banger together.

[Elckarow]

hanatan killing it with the vocals once again

[patriciajoyangeles]

ELFENSJóN latest song and Hanatan's voices are *totally awesome*

[LowrollHater]

ELFENSJóN - ZENITH (English Translation by me)

When the bell tolls far away, heralding the dawn
Now the (world) peels away and turns white.

You keep believing in falsehoods.
Your eyes lose their light.

I carve a stain on the nebulous innocence.
We have nothing to fear from false rulers.

Fallen ones, with plucked wings
Fly the destiny spun
I'll go crazy if the hymn to God never ceases to ring
Cleave the darkness
Oh, shatter our distorted (world), swallow our weakness

The more I embrace the shadow that creeps up, the more it turns to ash
The doubts that have sprouted in the depths of my (heart)
Is there no trick to waking up?

Seeing the footsteps of a foolish being
The empty moon laughs

Whoever goes with me, let go of your fears.
Break the bonds of fate.
If the distant pledge bells never stop ringing
Doubt, puncture it

Now the (world)'s been stripped away.
Paint it black with your hands.

Innocent bird in search of answers, move on.

Fallen ones, with plucked wings
Fly the destiny spun
No matter how many times the towering darkness consumes our souls
It will never end.

My raised voice lit up the dark night
The song of the dawn that continues to play
Seeking the truth about the twin moons*
The soul is in the darkness of disaster

Oh, shatter the distorted (illusion), swallow your fear
In the morning glow that stains indigo
Leaving a resounding bell



Note :
World(世界) and illusion(幻想) are interchangeable in this song, but I preferred to distribute their use to not cause confusion.
It seemed to me that some part of lyrics is referencing the Single trio of DAWN, ECLIPSE, and Magatsu Yami ni Utau(禍つ闇に詠う) which I believed had the theme of twin moons.

The visuals and character designs rule so hard. This whole song is excellent! Going to be playing this all day! Thank you so much!

[Zelepha]

Shuhei Kamada is such a goated drummer, all around insane performance by everyone

[rainfuyuG]

I love ELFENSJóN😭😭😭😭

My reason for waking up every morning is just to listen to ELFENSJóN🥹

Love❤❤❤

[kylekylelam]

Their songs keep getting better.
Hanatan’s voice straight up overkills this shit.
Also what was the budget of the animation?
And we even got new characters too!?

[DejaboVT]

Hanatan genuinely has some of the prettiest vocals I've heard

[ksrqm]

I was astonished. It's awesome, I mean it. ❤ Every new album is a fantastic story —— that's why ELFENSJóN always fascinates me.

[xuelee]

Bro, when I was in Japan I was hoping I'd cross your path so I could buy a drink a or two. Love your work.

[lifdrazor]

MY LORD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY ENTIRE LIFE

[arimakishi]
