Chrono Story

"'*Cause my time is infinite anyhow.*"
―Gallerian Clockworker
**Chrono Story** is a song released on December 22, 2010 in the Evils Kingdom album and later uploaded to YouTube with a PV on May 8, 2011 and to Nico Nico Douga the next day. It is the sixth song in the Clockwork Lullaby Series and the eleventh and final song of the Original Sin Story, tying the latter to the Seven Deadly Sins Series.

## Plot

The song starts in Held's Forest as Hänsel asks Gretel if she can hear birds or see the moonlight. Gretel replies that she actually hears the "cry of the forest" and sees the light from the fire. The twins recount how they were killed by the man they called "father" who found the Original Sin he left behind. They split his Sin into seven pieces: Lust the Flower, Gluttony the Seed, Pride the Gems, Envy the Spring, Sloth the Wind, Greed the Soil, and Wrath the Forest. In the process, they unleash the Seven Deadly Sins into the world and pray that it will keep turning.

In response to this event, the Tree of Held asks an old friend, Gallerian Clockworker, to retrieve the Sins. At this he considers how he was given immortality after losing the one he loved and destroying "that which was precious", but only feels emptiness as a result. Concluding his thoughts, he agrees to do so as long as it keeps him entertained, stating that his "time is unlimited anyway". The PV then depicts Gallerian going on his journey to find the Sins. It shows the main harem members, Maylo Beelzenia, Cherubim Venomania and Karchess Crim. At the end of the PV he arrives at Lady Gumina Glassred's mansion.

## Lyrics

Is that the song of birds that I can hear?

No, that is the cry of the forest

Is that the light of the moon that’s shining?

No, that’s the burning fire

The person we used to call “father”

Turns us to ashes inside the stove

“The Original Sin” that remained afterwards

They divided into seven with their own hands

“Lust”, is the flower

“Gluttony”, is the seed

“Pride”, is the stone

“Envy”, is the spring

“Sloth”, is the wind

“Greed”, is the dirt

And,

“Wrath”, is the forest

Fly away, seven sins

The impurity born from our false father

Let the world turn and turn

But we pray this evil, grave sin

Will be purified someday

By the hands of the Wizard of the Forest

The seven sins were released into the world

The Tree of Held, who protects the forest,

Requests his friend to collect them all

“If it turns into a way to kill time that’s no problem”

“’Cause my time is infinite anyhow”

The sorcerer sneers

The eternity he was granted

At the end of having lost the one he loved

And destroyed what was precious

To him was nothing but emptiness

The sorcerer who obtained everything

And then lost it

What does he wish for?

What does he seek?

To the end of time…

Born and raised from a lone man

The story of such a sin cut into seven

The capricious whim of a sorcerer who transcends time

This Chrono Story that begins from the forest

## Trivia

### Conceptualization and Origin

* The root word *chrono* is Greek for "time"; this theme is reinforced by Gallerian's remark that his time is limitless as well as the gear that appears at the end of the song PV.
* The song title's romanization (*KURONO SUTOORII*) can be interpreted as meaning "Dark Story" (*KURO NO SUTOORII*).

### Curiosities

* The Evils Court booklet lists the song as a secret exchange between Gallerian and Held and that his leaving from the mortal realm was crucial for the creation of Evil's Theater.
* Later in the booklet, Bruno Octo summarizes the events of the song; humorously, he comments right after that having so many characters complicates the story.
* The two words in the Swap Technique's activation phrase (ノロク  リトス, *NOROKU RITOSU*) use the same characters as the song's title with the characters in each word reversed.
* In the Clockwork Lullaby album, Meta Clockworker grieves Gallerian Chirclatia, growing angry at the curse he was given by the gods.
