祈りの羽衣
Prayer's Hagoromo
Single2026年
A sacred Japanese-style fantasy ballad depicting a celestial robe descending upon an ancient capital. The tones of koto and flute, taiko and strings layer quietly together, carefully spinning out a scene in which prayer turns into light. Carrying themes of rebirth and protection, it gently wraps around the listener's heart and offers the strength to move forward.
Lyrics (Japanese)
石畳のひびに 月が落ちて
古の都は 眠りのまま
名もなき祈りが 風にほどけ
空の裂け目へ 白い影
鈴の音ひとつ 迷いを祓い
閉じた心に ひかりが触れる
祈りの羽衣 ひらり ひらり
傷を包んで ほどいてゆく
守護の糸が この手を導く
新しい朝へ 連れ出して
祈りの羽衣 ひらり ひらり
忘れた願いが まだ生きてる
涙の跡さえ 道しるべにして
私はもう一度 立ち上がる
遠い記憶が まぶたでほどけ
風が背中を 押してくれる
祈りの羽衣 ひらり ひらり
闇を越えるため 舞い降りる
守りの翼が 私を抱いて
消えない火種を 目覚めさせる
祈りの羽衣 ふわり ふわり
千の夜を越え 朽ちた歌が
いま胸の奥で 目を覚ます
失ったものも 抱きしめながら
この都に 未来を刻む
祈りの羽衣 ひらり ひらり
守護の光は 途切れはしない
再生の鐘が ひびく空
祈りの羽衣 ひらり ひらり
ここから始まる 物語
Translation
Moonlight slips through the cracks of the cobblestones
The ancient capital sleeps on, lost in dreams
A nameless prayer unravels into the wind
Toward the rift in the sky, a pale white shade
One ring of a bell sweeps the doubt away
On a heart held shut, the light gently lands
Robe of prayer, fluttering soft, fluttering free
Wrapping every wound, it loosens the pain
Threads of the guardian guide these hands of mine
Carry me out to a brand-new dawn
Robe of prayer, fluttering soft, fluttering free
A wish I had forgotten is breathing still
Even the trace of tears becomes a road to follow
And I will rise again, one more time
Distant memories come undone behind my eyes
The wind presses gently at my back
Robe of prayer, fluttering soft, fluttering free
To cross beyond the dark, it drifts on down
Wings of protection fold around me close
Waking the spark that will never die
Robe of prayer, drifting light, drifting near
Past a thousand nights, a song long left to fade
Now deep in my chest, it opens its eyes
Holding even all that I have lost
I carve a future into this old town
Robe of prayer, fluttering soft, fluttering free
The guardian light will never break apart
The bell of rebirth echoes through the sky
Robe of prayer, fluttering soft, fluttering free
From right here begins the story
