the tireless one

 パンデモニウム天獄編４層BGM

[Verse 1]
Soul, laid bare
Foul and fair
Every secret, every odyssey
Answers unfold, one with the truth, defined
By mine guiding hand, perfected it stands
I won't be denied, you are mine
You were blind, a fool, 'til the end, cast down forevermore
I create, manipulate your kind in my image, my chosen ones
For you, the time has come, the sun is setting

[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity diе
Sucking the life out, letting thе dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you

[Chorus]
Say goodnight, to the weakness that you hide behind
Leaving the lies, leaving the fear inside
Never once were you truly alive
So scream all you like, no one can hear you
(Pandæmonium)

[Chorus 2]
Pride and greed, in mud thrive these seeds
Rotten and reeking, the fruits of your making
Testify, come take a bite
Pride and greed, thirsting for war
Twisted and broken, your words left unspoken
Journey's end as I ascend
(Pandæmonium)

Here, I rise
Clean, my cries
Every moment, every sacrifice
In Anabaseios, I am the true divine
By mine guiding hand, perfected it stands
I won't be denied, you are mine, you were blind, a fool
'til the end, cast down forevermore
I create, manipulate your kind in my image, my chosen ones
For you, the time has come, the sun is setting

[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Sucking the life out, letting the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you

[Chorus]
Say goodnight, to the weakness that you hide behind
Leaving the lies, leaving the fear inside
Never once were you truly alive
So scream all you like, no one can hear you

[Bridge]
Dark horizons, boiling seas
From the borders, chaos bleeds
Savage nobles, cultured thieves
Here be lions, follow me
(Pandæmonium)

[Chorus 2]
Pride and greed, in mud thrive these seeds
Rotten and reeking, the fruits of your making
Testify, come take a bite
Pride and greed, thirsting for war
Twisted and broken, your words left unspoken
Journey's end as I ascend

scream

パンデモニウム零式煉獄2・3層のBGMの歌詞。

Thou shalt fester and feast
A lost lamb fed to the beast
So plan if you're able
a spot at this table

Bow and weep, down on your knees
For hide and seek, it’s time that we feed
Your heart is racing, blood is running cold
Your fractured will is whispering:

"Run away, far away!"

Here be lions

Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Step from the light, away in the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you

(Scream)
(Scream)
(Scream)
So suicide or choke on your pride

(Scream)
(Scream)
Now scream
Yeah, we're gonna watch you bleed

Incensed, inflamed, how does it feel
Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal
You're lost and suffering, drowning in your tears
Will someone somewhere tell me:
Where we'll go from here?

Be the lion

Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Step from the light, away in the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, the gods can’t hear you

Dressed in rage, inside my cage
My Pandemonium, still clenching the flames out of fear
There be a light in the comfort of who I used to feel
So scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

オーケストリオン→ハウジング

嘆きの海のFATEをランク３にして、オーケストラリオン譜を入手。これで、今のところ欲しかったものを全部入手できた。
オーケストリオンのプレイリストも整理した。

こうなると、中途半端だったハウジングも手を入れたくなり、１週間ほど作業した。

第１目標は目線の中心の設定。入室して、最初に目に入る部屋奥を水槽とグリーンパーティションですっきりさせた。

このため、奥にあったバスルームとベッドスペースのロフトを手前に移動。こちらの奥もグリーンパーティションを使って、デザインの統一感を出した。

ロフトスペースで部屋の幅が狭くなったので、西側はものを置けないため、窓だけ凝ってみた。

午後３時を過ぎると、日が沈むまで、太陽光がいい感じに屈折して、部屋を彩ってくれる。

ここまでで設置数が９０を超えたため、あとは、ドアと最低限の機能、オーケストリオンと愛用の紀行録ぐらいしか置けなくなってしまった。これらを置くと設置数が上限の１００となった。

オーケストリオンを聞くときは、こんな感じで、暖炉を見たり、後ろの水槽までに入る光を見たり。

オーケストリオンのプレイリストは今のところ、こんな感じ。

浴室 オーケストリオン譜

浴室が殺風景だったので、改装

オーケストリオン譜も少しずつ集めてきて、ラヒの曲もゲット。現在のオーケストラリオンのリスト

 

tomorrow and tomorrow

PT募集待ちなどのとき、好みのBGMを聞くためにアパートでオーケストリオン
その中で今一番のお気に入りが、tomorrow and tomorrow
歌詞が気になったので、公式から原文のみコピー

For whom weeps the storm
Her tears on our skin
The days of our years gone
Our souls soaked in sin
these memories ache with the weight of tomorrow

Who fights?
Who flies?
Who falls?

Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark lost inside you find light again
In time tumbling, turning we seek amends
Eternal winds to the land descend
Our journey will never end

From those who've fallen to these who rise

A prayer to keep us ever by your side
An undying promise that we just might
Carry on in a song

Pray don't forget us, your bygone kin
With one world's end does a new begin
And should our souls scatter unto the wind
Still we shall live on

Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark deep inside you find light again
This time, tumbling, turning we make amends
Eternal winds from the land ascend
Here to lift us that we won't end

Ultima Thule BGM Close in the Distance

ウルティマ・スーレのBGMはFFXIVで初めての歌詞付きBGMだが、不明瞭な発音なので、気になってしようがない。ネイティブでもアップデートした歌詞を何度も修正しなければならないほどだが、一番尤もらしい歌詞を調べてみたら、今までのFFの歌詞付き楽曲の中で、初めて感情移入できた。要するに泣けた。

Whispers, falling silently, drift on the wind  
But I hear you 
Our journey, now a memory fading from sight 
But I see you 
Unbroken, promises we made so long ago 
You're still here  
Unspoken requiem for the river of tears 

Flowing, winding, to an eternal sea 
And yet our hope remains 
Guiding, lighting the way 
No time for mourning  

Rises on a mem'ry borne from the ashes 
With the heavens
True sunset,
blood-red skies tranquil after the storm
Blessed shadow  

Turning, wending, always night follows day 
The sun will shine again 
Walk on, never look back 
Through you, we live  

Tales of loss and fire and faith 
Everywhere our hearts engraved 
In the dark you will not stray 
Forge ahead, till the end, we pray  

最後のforge aheadは、辞書の訳だと押し進めるという意味だが、forgeは鍛冶という意味なので、金属を鍛冶するという難しさの度合いを強調した表現だと思う。単純な辞書検索では。こういうニュアンスは難しい。

サウンド的には、ヴォーカルは暑苦しいが、ピアノの音色でほっとする。Gundam UCに似ているせいかもしれない。GUNDUM　UCの楽曲は、今までのアニメソングのクォリティをまた超えていると思います。
