Ensemble Stars Eternal Weaving TL

A living soul, veiled within a lump of clay,

Is blessed with a miracle;

Let us begin here.

Singing glories of a king carved out of stone;

I wonder if our anguish can be heard from afar.

Fairytales, each distorted by time,

Are old myths torn asunder and rewritten.

In an eternity that never ends, all things progress without halting.

Now please, show me your eyes painted with delight.

From the cradle of the world tumbles and scatters;

Tears that are nothing but reflections of color,

Used only to weave a

Tapestry

We adorn glamorous clothing, becoming nobility the moment 

this comedy threads through the weft ¹.

The crumbling eternity of this nightmare entwines

with tragedy, strained into warps ¹. 

As you submerge into that hot bath ², let the vision of

A storyteller’s evanesced reality fly free

In an eternity that never comes to an end, ideations evolve.

Let us join our embroidering together, misery cupped in our hands.

The ephemeral birth of that palace is

A delightful fever dream.

This life will burn.

「I am but a fool that struggles within the sorrow and rapture of this mire.」

「Nay, your handwoven tales are a beauty desired by Epicurus ³ himself!」

「O’Light! Why will you not cease creating!」

「O’Shadow! It is because that is precisely what you demand of me, and it is precisely that which makes you human!」

「We wish to bestow the beauty of art upon this world!」

In this eternity that never ends, let us create that of which the Gods desire,

The reverie of an ever-changing creation.

The walls of this world’s palace, embellished with tapestries abound, 

Displays an endless lineage of weavers. 

Now, let us fall heir to that worth and mend it.

1. Warp and weft are the two basic components in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric.
2. May also allude to submerging fabrics into hot water to dye them.
3. An Ancient Greek philosopher who established the philosophy of Epicureanism, and believed in helping people attain a life of peaceful tranquility free from unnecessary desires.
