【Touhou Lyrics】 Septette for the Dead Princess

  / lyricalive  

Remilia's theme. ...What might Fate have in store for you today? Probably nothing much, because she's too busy catering to her own whims. But at least she does it with charisma!

The vampire mistress who manipulates the alignment of the stars... this is the story of how she decided to knock out the biggest star in the sky and leave everyone in the dark, all because she wanted to stroll outside without a parasol.

I also hired my partner Lori-hime (   / lori-hime   ) as my fairy maid to help out with some backup vocals. Just pretend there are seven voices there to make it a true septette!

We each are born to play a part… and even love and hate are blind.
The truth is etched on every heart… and only Fate can change your mind.

Your feeble stars are shifting soon… It isn’t nearly any fun
To know the world beneath the moon… and nothing underneath the sun.

For one like you who bears the chain… who lives in fear of destiny,
The changing world is to remain… enveloped in a mystery.

And no matter who decides it, the string has to be tied–
It’s a perfectly victimless crime.
And no matter how it plays out, you’re bound to live these days out
Arrested by those threads of time, time, time…

From the day that you were born… you’re beholden to my pull.
There is never need to mourn… the inevitable.

May the red begin to flow… giving life to me through death.
You’ve put on a splendid show… since your very first breath.

As a single string is cut… here, another one is tied.
This is Fate, no matter what… there’s no way you can hide.

In the dark, you clearly see… there’s no sense in breaking free.
This is how it’s meant to be… for the whole world but me!~
