The music of Sound Horizon is generally presented in omnibus style; all of their releases have been in the form of concept albums. For tie-up material and releases without an overarching original story, the group performs under the name Linked Horizon. Both male and female vocals are utilized within Sound Horizon, with some singers being frequent collaborators. Usage of spoken word sections in the form of narration is common in their songs and can be heard in a variety of different languages. This narration is often reminiscent of anime due to the involvement of prominent voice actors/actresses in the group. A number of stylistic influences are also apparent in their music; these include progressive/symphonic rock, jazz, pop, opera, and metal. The group's lyrics are often mysterious and metaphorical and contain a variety of fantastical themes.

磔刑の聖女
Sound Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
背中に風を感じて 一度だけ振り返る
宵闇の匂いは 不思議と懐かしく
背中を押してくれる そう そんな気さえしたわ
押し寄せる 悲しみに 独り震えて 指でなぞる 遥か遠い約束
沸き上がる 憎しみの 脆く歪な 刻の果てに 闇を見つめ接吻
嗚呼 虚ろな儘 移ろう儘 歪な 嗚呼 罪を集め接吻
今 でも 忘れ られない...
愛を偽って生きるくらいなら
真実と共に死すことも厭わないわ
二人で見つけた野ばらが
君を包むことを願って墓標の周りに植えたけど
結局 遂の終まで咲く事はなかったね...
月光に恋をした鳥籠の白い鳥は、
地に墜ちると知りながら、最期まで羽ばたくよ。
だからこそ宵闇に唄うのは、憾みの唄じゃないわ...。
焔を無くした君を縛る 冷たい鎖は
愛を亡くした 君を想う二人の愛憎
鳥は空へ 屍体は土へ 摂理を裏切り続けた
夜は明けて 終わりの朝へ 次の別離こそ永遠――
でも...
後悔などしていないわ 嗚呼 これが 私の人生
《門閥貴族の令嬢》 でも 《七選帝侯の息女》 でもないわ 私は《一人の女》
唯 君だけを愛した――
唯の【Elisabeth】
The lyrics of Sound Horizon's song "磔刑の聖女" (Crucified Saint) speak of a somber journey filled with determination. The singer walks with a heavy heart but feels a gust of wind on their back, causing them to briefly look back. The scent of the twilight feels strangely nostalgic and gives them the push they need to continue. They tremble alone in the face of overwhelming sadness, tracing with their fingers a distant promise. Hatred and twisted time rise up, and they find themselves gazing into the darkness, exchanging a kiss. Ah, resigned and ever-changing, they gather sins through their kisses.
They proclaim that they cannot forget, nor can they remember the past. Rather than living a life of love disguised as falsehood, they would rather die alongside the truth. They planted wild roses around the tombstone, hoping they would envelop the beloved, but in the end, they never bloom until the very end. The white bird in a cage that fell in love with moonlight knows it will eventually plummet to the ground, yet it continues to flap its wings until the end. That's why singing in the twilight is not a lament, but rather a song of regret. The cold chains that bind the one who has lost their flame, the love and hatred between two people who have lost love. Birds return to the sky, corpses return to the earth, betraying the natural order. The night turns into dawn, leading to a never-ending cycle of partings. But even so, there is no regret. Ah, this is my life. I am not a "daughter of a noble family" or the "daughter of a select emperor." I am just a "woman" who loved only you. Only you, my Elisabeth.
