葬列ハーメルン (Souretsu Hamelin)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
今ではかれこれ25年ほど前のこと 	ima de wa karekore nijūgo-nen hodo mae no koto 	This already happened around 25 years ago,
私はあの日の葬礼に参列していました 	watashi wa ano hi no sōrei ni sanretsu shite imashita 	but I did attend her funeral on that day.
 	 	
彼女が死ななければならなくなったに 	kanojo ga shinanakereba naranaku natta ano toshi ni 	Are you aware of what happened in that year, 2013,
何が起こったかあなたは知っているのですか 	nani ga okotta ka anata wa shitte iru no desu ka 	when she was forced to die?
 	 	
愚かな政治家は彼女を殺せば昔のように 	oroka na seijika wa kanojo o koroseba mukashi no yō ni 	A certain foolish politician thought that if we killed her,
の羊に子供たちが戻ると思っていた 	mekura no hitsuji ni kodomotachi ga modoru to omotte ita 	all the children would then return to being blind little sheep, like once upon a time.
 	 	
国の盾たるべき子供たちに甘美な幻想 	kuni no tate taru beki kodomotachi ni kanbi na gensō 	She was the sweet fantasy for the children who were to become the protectors of the nation one day,
流し込んだ罪　彼女は一身にわされた 	nagashikonda tsumi kanojo wa isshin ni showasareta 	and she alone had to bear the burden of all the sins pushed onto her.
 	 	
近隣国からのプレッシャーに　自己保存の熱狂に浮かされた 	kinrinkoku kara no puresshā ni jiko hozon no nekkyō ni ukasareta 	Due to the pressure from neighboring countries, the people became fanatical about their self-preservation,
国民は頑なに守り続けてきた　禁書に筆を入れた 	kokumin wa kataku na ni mamori tsuzukete kita kinsho ni fude o ireta	and they ended up adding a few touches to the forbidden book that they’d staunchly protected for so long.
 	 	
ハーメルンの笛のように　子供たちの心奪い 	Hāmerun no fue no yō ni kodomotachi no kokoro ubai 	Like the pied piper of Hamelin, she captured the hearts of the children,
ハーメルンの笛のように　の国へ連れて行った 	Hāmerun no fue no yō ni Yomi no kuni e tsurete itta 	and like the pied piper of Hamelin, she took them to the other world.
 	 	
祭壇の頂上　高く掲げられた十字架 	saidan no chōjō takaku kakagerareta jūjika 	She was nailed to a cross up high, at the summit of the altar.
磔（はりつけ）の彼女　もはや手の届かない高み 	haritsuke no kanojo mohaya te no todokanai takami 	With her crucifixion, she had gone to a height no one else could reach.
 	 	
儀式は国家の威信をかけて行われ 	gishiki wa kokka no ishin o kakete okonaware 	The service was performed with the nation’s dignity at stake,
その模様は世界中に中継されていた 	sono moyō wa sekaijū ni chūkei sarete ita 	and the proceedings were live-broadcasted to the whole world.
 	 	
熱から冷めた国民は　自らの愚かさに気付かされた 	netsu kara sameta kokumin wa mizukara no orokasa ni kizukasareta 	Upon sobering up from their zeal, the people realized their own foolishness,
失ったものの大きさを　自覚したときは後の祭り 	ushinatta mono no ōkisa o jikaku shita toki wa ato no matsuri 	but it was already too late by the time they comprehended the immensity of what they’d lost.
 	 	
ハーメルンの笛のように　子供たちは消えてしまい 	Hāmerun no fue no yō ni kodomotachi wa kiete shimai 	Like with the pied piper of Hamelin, all the children had disappeared,
ハーメルンの町のように　残ったのは年寄りだけ 	Hāmerun no machi no yō ni nokotta no wa toshiyori dake 	and like the town of Hamelin, only the elderly remained.
 	 	
ハーメルンの笛のように　子供たちの心奪い 	Hāmerun no fue no yō ni kodomotachi no kokoro ubai 	Like the pied piper of Hamelin, she captured the hearts of the children,
ハーメルンの笛のように　の国へ連れて行った 	Hāmerun no fue no yō ni Yomi no kuni e tsurete itta 	and like the pied piper of Hamelin, she took them to the other world.
