雷神の左腕
Sound Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こんな嵐の夜は 傷痕が疼く
右腕を引き千切る様な 在るはずの無い痛み
誰に話すこともなく 男はひとり苦悩している
残った左腕で何を為すべきかを…
不吉な予兆は 日に日に影を色濃く落とす
あの日と同じ嵐の夜 男は人知れず旅立った
覚悟は決まっている まだ左腕がある…
男は扉を必死で押さえていた
扉の向こうは闇 邪悪な力が溢れ出ようとしている
それを左腕で必死に抑えていた
もうダメだ…右腕…右腕さえあれば…
男が諦めかけたその時
薄れゆく意識の中 温かい光を感じた
右手に槍を掲げ 嵐の中幾千の人々が祈っている…
あの時の子供達は皆 大人になった
雷神は右腕を失い 世界は生まれ変わった
右手が蒔いた種を育てたのは左手
そして美しい花が咲く 幾千の花が咲く…
彼には勇敢な左腕と 幾千の右腕がある
決して負けはしない そんな想いが歴史を紡ぐ…
…やがて時は流れ…
「ねぇおじいちゃん どうして
雷神様には 右手が無いの？ 可哀想だよ。」
と街角の子供は問う…
子供の小さな手を取り 老人は微笑んで答える
「雷神様の右手は 今もここにあるよ…
ほれ その右のポッケの中にも…」
The lyrics to Sound Horizon's song 雷神の左腕 (Raijin no Hidarite) describe the struggles of a man who has lost his right arm in a stormy night. The pain in his phantom limb is unbearable as he contemplates what he should do with his remaining left arm. The ominous signs of an impending disaster loom closer every day, and the man secretly sets off to face it, knowing he still has his left arm. However, he is faced with a door that is pushing back with evil forces from behind, and his left arm alone is not enough to keep it from breaking open. Just as he is about to give up, he feels a warm light and sees a multitude of people praying for him in the storm. With renewed strength, he raises a spear with his remaining arm and pushes back the door, ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.
The song draws inspiration from the legend of Raijin, the Japanese thunder god who is often depicted with a drum in one hand and lightning bolts in the other. The loss of his right arm in the song is a metaphor for sacrifice and the importance of perseverance, even in the face of overwhelming odds. The lyrics highlight the power of prayer and hope in the face of adversity, as well as the importance of being remembered for one's contributions to society.

黒の教団が蘇らせるべく画策した魔人
再び封じるべく立ち上がる雷神の英雄
だが、かつての戦いの中で、左腕を失った彼には、魔人に立ち向かう力は残されていなかった
英雄の危難を感知した、雷の民の長老が叫ぶ
「皆、左腕を掲げよ！失われし雷神の力を宿す我らが雷神の民
その全ての左腕こそが英雄の左腕なのじゃ！」
民の掲げし左腕より収束される、雷の力
英雄はためらうことなく、その力を放つ
その身が吹き飛ぶと知っていても
「これが・・・人の・・・想いの力だ・・・！！」
その全てと引き換えに、魔人を再び封じた雷神の左腕
それは、受け継がれ・・・
雷神の系譜へ・・・
こんな感じのストーリーだったはず
