【Touhou Lyrics】 Trojan Asteroid Jungle

  / lyricalive  

An atmospheric duet for Renko Usami and Maribel Hearn. ...The adventurous pair of Sealing Club members explore an abandoned space station called TORIFUNE, once launched like a cosmic Noah's Ark to see if it could support life. Though all of its specimens were believed to have died, Merry's dream reveals that many continue to live on amidst the void. This sounds vaguely relevant to Gensokyo, a land where forgotten creatures thrive. It might also be relevant to the human duo themselves, who find ways to thrive together even in their stifling society.

The nature of the lyrics this time is more trance-like and atmospheric than conversational, trying to capture the surreal dreamy environment. Let's just hope nothing aboard the station is too dangerous... Well, it's a dream, right? What's the worst that could happen?

(Two by two… two by two…)
Two by two, march…
(Two by two… two by two…)
Two by two, march…

A cold metal gray paints the walls of our vessel;
A warm coat of red paints the gate of a shrine.
No matter how far our technology marches,
We still fear the gods at the end of the line.

A pure void of black paints the dead space around us;
A sprawling of green paints the life as it thrives.
A border of nothing and something colliding,
A sight to remember the rest of our lives.

With air long recycled, the creatures are breathing;
They’ve met their confines with a thrilling expanse.
This energy builds up with nowhere to go,
And we find after all that we can’t help but dance.

Transients facing the realm of eternity:
Far less impossible odds than it seems.
Meek insects and flowers refuse to be silenced;
How ever could death touch a human with dreams?

(Two by two… two by two…)
Two by two, march…
(Two by two…two by two…)
Two by two, march…

Our bodies as light as the doubts on our spirits,
An impact as great as an asteroid’s fall:
With crisscrossing feelings now pushing us forward
The weight on our shoulders is nothing at all.

So filled two by two is this on-marching jungle,
As one on its own can bring no more to be.
There might be no welcome for one on this flight,
But our two minds together have granted the key.

A bright rain of bullets could drip from my fingertips;
Now all that’s left is to follow the light.
Let’s firmly believe in our mystical power,
But keep up the prayer that there’s no one to fight.

Danger is merely a twist in the story;
We can’t leave to wake till we’ve told it all right.
We hear that the ark in the heavens is calling
To bravely begin our adventure tonight.

(Two by two, we go…)
We hear that the ark in the heavens is calling
To bravely begin our adventure tonight.
(Two by two, we go…)
We hear that the ark in the heavens is calling
To bravely begin our adventure tonight.

(Two by two… two by two…)
Two by two, march…
(Two by two… two by two…)
Two by two, march…
