Baptize
妖精帝國 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

冬の蕾花咲く頃
空の色は銀に輝く
大気は奮え風は花弁を
羽根のように吹き散らす

誘い誘え彼の場所へと
金に輝く桃源郷は
全て飲み込む天か地獄か
凍ったままの刻の中

孤独に耐えて誰を待つ
神よ私は罪ですか

碧い瞳は何を映すの
古の物語でも彼を奮わせられない
深く深い氷の下には
生まれたての聖なる光
どうか彼を導いて

生に縋り赦しを乞い
天の遣わす恵みの露
全て飲み干す慈悲か悪意か
堕落した思考のまま

生きる希望誰に託す
神よ私に贖いを

白い大地を覆う冷気は
染みついた赤い穢れを瞳の奥に堕とす
奪い奪う死闘の痛みは
大切な人を失くした
終末の痛みと知る

融けた刻の中
孤独を抱いて朝を待つ
神よ私に真実を

赤い瞳は何を赦すの
吹き荒ぶ胸の嵐を鉄の刃に変えて
背負う罪が広がる速さに




祈りの密度を高めて
覚悟の名で誡めてBaptize

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 妖精帝國's song "Baptize" speak about the struggle of an individual who is searching for meaning and belonging amidst a desolate and barren landscape. The opening line sets the scene in winter, with buds blooming and the sky shimmering silver. However, this apparent beauty is offset by the harshness of the environment, as the wind scatters petals like feathers. The individual is then drawn to a shining, golden sanctuary, but is unsure whether this place will offer salvation or destruction.


The lyrics hint at themes of isolation and sin, as the singer questions who they are waiting for and wonders if they are worthy of God's forgiveness. The singer's blue eyes are unable to find solace even in ancient tales, and they are drawn instead to the holy light beneath the deep ice. The song suggests that the individual is seeking guidance and forgiveness, but is unsure if they will find it amidst the corruption and decay of their own thoughts.


The lyrics also touch on the pain and sorrow of loss, as the individual carries the weight of their sins and struggles to find hope. The harsh, unforgiving landscape echoes the singer's inner turmoil, while the intense battle imagery evokes a sense of urgency and desperation. Ultimately, the song ends with a plea for understanding and a call to action, as the individual awaits the dawn with resolve in their heart.

Never seen Seikon no Qwaser, but I love Yousei Teikoku and I love this song to death!

Daniel Santiago

Maybe it's best you don't. Though the concept and premise of Seikon no Qwaser is AMAZING, I personally think that the gratuitous amount of fan service and borderline hentai actually ruin the quality of the show...

R Skelton

It's a very adult anime. If you are mature and of age or even just of age plz treat yourself. Think full metal alchemist but much sexier and alot more raw

R Skelton

Dont listen to the coin purse above me. It was very good if you are an adult. Like I said. It has very adult themes. The the alchemists power is driven off of a woman's life energy. Try to make an anime about that that isnt a little sexual. I will note that this isnt one I'd watch with my buds or anything. Me and my girlfriend watched the entire series and there was more than a little red faces and oh mys thrown around

BrigadeAkaba

Give a try to the manga, If you are mature enough. Because the anime version sucks and it is all ruined by the unnecessary quantity of fan service. ^-^
