Heat Abnormal (English Cover) [ft. Mai] 熱異常

I can’t believe it’s already been over a year since I made the short version for this song. It was really hard to make, but I’m a lot more satisfied with these new lyrics! (and yes I added an "ominous bell" reference cause I was planning to post this during Mizu5, but it ended up taking longer than I expected to finish) Lyrics/Tuning/Mix/Art/MV: Hapcyon Vocals: Mai (Synthesizer V) Original - Iyowa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2NTglk9tvI&t=0s Project Sekai Nightcord at 25:00 https://youtu.be/Han5r8xiKRA?si=xBjN_uWlNfMkp0ME Lyrics (feel free to use w/ credit): “Looping again when variables end, A fever builds up from counting the dead With no one left to hear all the words I’ve said, I begin a soliloquy I know I'll never send Fear like an electric shock mixes deep into my blood and shoots into every vein Beyond the thick smoke wall, a black chain-sickle trails just behind, dragging silence through the haze I Blow it away (x8) But it still won't fade The screams leaving my swollen throat stopped making sense a long time ago And a rotten crescent moon just grins from where it rests on the broken armchair alone Now Something’s coming closer (x8) Something’s almost here for you All the people crying just set fire to the flag they used to call salvation And all the skeletons who kissed their collections climbed into their coffins Saying ‘There’s something wrong’ (x8) Just in a whisper ‘If there were a paradise where everyone could be saved for eternity’ All the adults who clung to hope climbed aboard a broken boat they thought would set them free The Black stars above (x8) Watched them as they fell through A crying light tears right into my eyes With ominous bells that toll in the sky The tale that a god had carved into stone Left me choking on a bitter truth that tasted just like sand I loop again when variables end A fever builds up from counting the dead I question the stars shining all alone The same color as someone's clear eyes that faded long ago The sadness that I try to hold in my hands will slip away and turn into salt soon All prayers, pain, pity, and even sympathy will each be priced and sold off, too Even When I turn around (x8) I still hear the screams A fish says to cast away happiness for the sake of beauty and virtue It swims in the sea of self-consciousness dyed in red, as the scent of spilled blood drifts through The Black stars above (x8) Are watching me fall too The crying cells drift back into the sea As meaningless grumbles cling onto me The clouds filled with ash spread across the sky As though following the traces that a swallow left behind I weave honor to beg for tomorrow My hands are dirty from clinging to hope I question the stars shining all alone The same color as someone's clear eyes that faded long ago After we hold hands and say ‘I love you’, I’ll kill the dreams that never came true My thoughts collapsing, an abnormal heat ignites in my core and spreads, burning through This isn’t real, right? No, this just isn’t real, right? No, this just isn’t real, right? No, this just isn’t real, right? No, I can’t take this anymore The screams leaving my swollen throat stopped making sense a long time ago And a rotten crescent moon just grins from where it rests on the broken armchair alone Something’s coming closer (x8) Something’s almost here for you.”
