Composition
In all variations of the song, Kagamine Rin's vocals are utilized. The original version uses a scale of A minor, a tempo of 140 bpm, a meter of 4/4, and range from about G4-A6. The first chorus ranges between 0.05-0.19, the first verse ranging between 0.20 and 0.32 and the first bridge ranging betwen 0.47-1.00. The recitative maintains a 0.00-0.004 range. The song uses the following pattern:

R - C (instrumental) ; V - V - b - R - C ; V - V - b - R - C ; V - V - b - R - C; C (instrumental)

The song starts with a short introduction, which is composed of a short speaking portion (a.k.a. recitative) and the instrumental version of the chorus. Later, the songs repeats three times the sequence of two verses, short bridge, recitative and a chorus. The song ends with the instrumental chorus once again. The structure of repeating an exact sequence several times is wiledly common in folk songs and ballads. The lyrics, too, are narrated like that of a fairy tale.

The song was rearranged and named as a velvet mix. Though the basic pattern and the tempo remains similar, the choruses and bridge are rewritten in the scale of D# minor, and the verses are rewritten in the scale of G# minor. The mix range from about D#5 - D#6. Slight changes in the melody also appear. In the end of the mix, three bell strikes are heard, reffering Allen Avadonia's executation at three o'clock.
