[non singable translation]
Long ago, two nations stood in bitter conflict.
Luca, a royal swordswoman sworn to the palace, lived by the blade and the will of her king. One day, a young apprentice was placed under her tutelage, and she was tasked with shaping him into a warrior.
Days turned to weeks, and as their time together lengthened, she came to know him—his strengths, his faults, and the quiet determination that burned behind his eyes.
But then, a truth was laid bare before her. He was no mere apprentice. He was a spy from the enemy nation.
Knowing this, Luca made her choice. She said nothing. She changed nothing.
And so, their days continued, as if the truth had never been revealed.
Lyrics translation
----------
I stood still, unable to go anywhere.
In a world of devised traps and tilting balance, we were both made to dance.
In a world collapsing into darkness, I watched.
Was everything you gave me just a lie?
----------
My country, the people and you
They were all my treasures
----------
The things I wish to protect are too vast.
I cannot love at the cost of losing everything.
"Believe in yourself, trust yourself"
The silver blade I point toward you—
Surely, you will only smile,
Wanting nothing in return, right?
We simply had our own worlds.
We just had different things to protect.
I called your name over and over,
knowing you wouldn’t hear.
Even if the dripping red is cold, I will not break.
When did I realize your kindness?
-----
You were so gentle and kind
I was always filled with that
-----
The day I learned your name
You had already vanished
Come over here and listen to me
Hoping these words will reach you.
If you say this is just a dream,
Please, don’t let it end.
I believe. This is my duty.
You are the enemy. I must protect my land and people.
I believe. This is the right thing.
Then why can’t I stop crying?
"Believe in yourself, trust yourself"
Even now, I keep swinging my sword.
Everything you gave me was real.
So that I may reach you.
You smiled, arms wide open.
You held me until the end, with those crimson hands.
"Please, believe in yourself."
In my trembling hands, the sword wept.
