Capriccio Farce

**Capriccio Farce** is the sixth song of the "Clockwork Lullaby Series". It depicts a meeting between the inhabitants of Evil's Theater as they discuss their goal.

## Plot

The awakened Vessels of Virtue gather together to begin a new trial. The Master of the Court leads the trial, discussing the missing vessel they need to find; asking MA about its location, she states that as she doesn't know its exact whereabouts, she fears that it is already in "that child's hands". The Twilight Gears then chime in, claiming that nothing will be left after the vessels are united, but are taunted in response by the Master of the Graveyard, who tells them they are powerless to change anything.

Next, the Master of the Court instructs Gammon Okuto to recount the events that led him to the forest. He brings up how he came there to look for his family's heirloom, trying to soothe the curse on his body, but was captured by the Master of the Graveyard and her servants. The Master of the Court then judges him and sentences him to death, but he is saved by the Waiter and tasked with becoming the new "Gardener" and taking care of the chores.

Later on, it is mentioned that a lonely woman had constructed this theater shortly before she died. However, the theater inhabitants don't know if the utopia she dreamt of for herself and her "father" will ever be created.

## Lyrics

An empty defendant's seat,

A visitor's gallery with nothing but junk

Come, let's begin

This farce called a trial

Only one of the vessels

That we are seeking remains

If you know of its whereabouts

Make your testimony, "Sorceress of Time"

Transcending time, changing forms and masters,

It has already made its debut on stage

Even so, as I don't know its whereabouts myself,

I fear it is likely in that child's hands

Search, search, search for them,

Left, right, or even down

The one who holds the golden key

Search for the "Master of the Hellish Yard"

How long is this farce going to continue?

There will be nothing left after finding it

Souls of the ghouls who became trapped

There is nothing you can accomplish anymore

Swinging scales, a disordered scenario

Vessels soaked in virtue

Each playing their song in their own way

A discordant capriccio

The story has already left behind

The gods and angels, and now it walks alone

If they were in this place,

They would probably lament that:

What was truly terrifying

Was the desire of humanity

Let's sort out what few facts we have,

You lowly man descended from an angel

I will give you permission, so tell us

Why you came to this forest

There is an unpleasant curse dwelling in my body

I came to this forest alone,

Seeking my family's sword

That is necessary to solve this

Kill him, bury him, if we can't arrest him

This insolent man who entered the forest

Judge, judge, at any rate judge him

Trial! Sentence! Death!

When I resolved myself after being sentenced

The serene boy extended his hand

"We need someone right for doing chores"

And so, I became the "Gardener"

"Sorceress of Time", "Cursed Gardener"

Substitutes for the un-awakened vessels

Each keeping their goals close to their chest

Unsettling invaders

"The Director Doll", "Master of the Graveyard"

"Twilight Gears", "Waiter", "Master of the Hellish Yard"

When the end of everything arrives

Who will be laughing, I wonder?

Lu li la, lu li la, lu li lu li la

The resounding beat of irregularity

Friendship, trauma, justice, illusions

Hope, destruction, dreams, greed, love, death

All of it continues to melt and turn

The Clockwork Lullaby

Just before her death, a solitary woman

Constructed this theater

Will the utopia she wished for

Ever be completed?

Come, let's see with our own eyes,

This farce called life
