——————————————— Description

This is the music video for Linked Horizon's song "Akatsuki no Requiem", which was produced as the ending theme for the TV anime "Attack on Titan" Season 3 Part.1.

Whether you are a fan of Attack on Titan or a fan of Linked Horizon, characters, backgrounds, actions, etc. will appear so that you can enjoy it even if you watch it without knowing anything, so that you can further draw out the power of the song. With a strong message in all the motifs, we have created a unique world view.

In addition, the sound effects (SE) that liven up the video are also studded with the commitment of Revo and Hirokazu Ebisu, who was in charge of SE.

The story begins quietly with the mysterious white creature that appears from the beginning and the man in the black coat that appears every day in front of the creature.
We hope that each viewer will understand the "truth" that gradually becomes apparent as the story progresses.

——————————————— Lyrics

I wonder why the heavenly sky was separated from the earth below
My fragile heart is tearing apart in this cruel yet beautiful world
Between those who are always throwing stones
Those at whom the stones are being thrown
Between them is a fence that can’t be easily crossed
If in fact their views begin to change
Justice will appear to bare its fangs
In the end which one of them will be the one to cry
Behind the iron of a cage?

We have dedicated everything
And faced a darkness that has yet to cease
When we reach the end of this never-ending night
Will we escape this hell in Paradise?

Requiem! Requiem!
For all the nameless flower petals scattered throughout the darkness—
Rest in peace, I quietly pray
At the wake of a brand new day

Dusk and dawn share the same strange color of familiar yet cold loneliness
The dark shadow of the advancing bird
Is burnt upon the earth below
Between those who slaughter hopes
Between those who hopes are slaughtered
There’s a wall where nobody should be held gleefully
If you wish to know the truth
This world shall surely be destroyed
Is the sky you’ve admired in your confined cage
Really the freedom you wish for?

Lying down a bouquet of flowers
To a promise that cannot be kept
Satisfaction slowly recedes from sight
At the end of this fathomless road

Requiem! Requiem!
For all the fleeting flower petals scattered throughout the darkness—
Rest peacefully, I lonefully pray
At the dawn of a brand new day

If you reap souls for your freedom
With the world behind you in ruin
What will the souls robbed deserve from you in return?
The crimson bow is pulled to its limit

This earth is simple to set foot in
Yet this world is so enigmatic
The same tragedies keep repeating time and time again

Requiem! Requiem!
For all the nameless flower petals scattered throughout the darkness—
Rest in peace, I quietly pray
For the break of light at day

And if my longful wish would be fulfilled
And the interweaving strings of fate are finally severed
Then everyone who lasted to the end
Let us live in a world without walls
