「いいでしょう そう致しましょう 望み叶えて差し上げましょう」 その白い手で 記された 震える字の署名（サイン） 横たわり その時を待つ 凍てついたシーツの上には 悲しみも 喜びも無い 造り変わる躰 汚れの無い 碧く潤んだ瞳 そこに映るすべて 許されるのだろうか？ 薄れてゆく頬の紅 鋼のように その痛みに耐え忍ぶ叫びは 闇に融けて儚い 永久に続く生命と引き替えに 差し出すものは 胸に刻む禁じられた契約 誰もそれを知らない

"Alright then, let's do it Let's make your wish come true" Your pale hand signed with a shaky signature. Lying down, waiting for that moment On top of the icy sheets Feeling neither sadness nor joy as the structure of your body is changed. Your innocent deep blue eyes wet with tears I wonder if you'll forgive me for everything reflected therein? The crimson of your cheeks fade until they are like steel That scream you let out while enduring the pain is fleeting and melts into the darkness What you offered in exchange for eternal life was to have the forbidden contract carved into your heart, and nobody knows it

"Alright then, let's do it Let's make your wish come true" Your pale hand signed with a shaky signature. Lying down, waiting for that moment On top of the frozen sheets Feeling neither sadness nor joy as the structure of your body is changed. Your innocent deep blue eyes wet with tears I wonder if I'll be forgiven for everything reflected therein? The crimson of your cheeks fades until they are like steel That scream you let out while enduring the pain is fleeting and melts into the darkness What you offered in exchange for eternal life was to have the forbidden contract carved into your heart, and nobody knows it "How is it? Isn't it wonderful? I'm sure you'll find it to your liking" The black rose crest that is now engraved upon your chest. You smile uncomfortably On the other side of the old mirror Looking as if you would become see-through and shatter As naked as the day you were born The light, sweet fragrance of your black hair is the only remaining memory from your childhood. I won't allow you even a moment to regret, as if you were a prisoner Don't you think about breaking your vow What you offered to obtain eternal life The forbidden contract is carved into your heart, and you can't go back The crimson of your cheeks fades until they are like steel That scream you let out while enduring the pain is fleeting and melts into the darkness What you offered in exchange for eternal life was to have the forbidden contract carved into your heart, and nobody knows it

Song Production Information[1]
Seiya Murai
Believe it or not, this song was composed at the same time as I was making the previous work "Denki Ningyou".
I was working on "CHICKEN CHASER" at the same time too, and when I had completed it to some degree the two songs had somehow ended up with a similar feeling...
So, once I locked this song away deep underground (put it on hold), "Denki Ningyou" was born. Then after a year's sleep, "Kinjirareta Chigiri" made its comeback.
During that year it was put to sleep, the image of the lyrics ended up solidifying, so I wrote the lyrics myself this time. It's dark in a completely different way than the previous work, but doesn't this one have a "totally out of control madness" feeling to it? (Laughs)
Freddie Hatae
Doesn't Eleharmonica's composition feel more game-like and up-tempo this time?
It's a bit different from the usual bewitching feeling, and the lyrics add to the overall mechanical finish.
They're meaningful lyrics that describe how a mechanical body may have no limits, but it can experience pain in a way.
I also recorded the chorus myself this time.
As always, I spend a lot of time recording songs.
I hope you enjoy Darkness as much as I have so far.
