Zanshin -Mukei no Yae- (斬心-無形ノ八重-)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

A fetal Id

"Sleep well. Go to sleep."

 

A channel of love and hate

"You're a good boy, so go back to sleep."

 

Symmetrical colors

"Where did the amulet go?"

"It went over that mountain to the village."

 

Upon feelings of sorrow,

"What did you get as a souvenir from the village?"

"I received someone's heart."

 

A redundant prologue:

At the ends of a broken commandment comes

The arrogance of a sinful first cry

A bystander who asks for the utmost

But sneers at corruption

 

Your granted form has been changed beyond recognition and has been lost

"Why are you sad? Why are you crying?"

......Without even knowing

 

A fetal Id

To solve it, if there's no difference

Slice that wish and discard it

What is left behind in the end?

You continued not to know,

Hiding your heart's voice inside of your impulse

 

An ambiguous expression

Those clouded eyes of yours are like a puppet's

Terrified of that which is grotesque

A wanderer who obliviously grieves

The day of the changing tides

 

Your captured form receives no salvation and will only continue destroying

"Why do you fight? Why don't you stop?"

......Without even listening

 

Symmetrical colors

The innermost intention

Cut down malice and slay it

The scar that remains after the injury

Has nowhere left to go

Having given in to unease, your lonely figure

 

"Sleep well. Go to sleep."

"You're a good boy, so go back to sleep."

"Where did the amulet go?"

"It went over that mountain to the village."

"What did you get as a souvenir from the village?"

"I received someone's heart."

 

"What you leave behind is your heart,"

"----What you leave behind is your heart."

 

Embracing sorrow, shatter love and hate

Slice through hesitation and discard it

What is left behind in the end

Remains intangible as it always was

And the heart's multilayered self will never fade away for eternity
