- ―Maria Moonlit[src]
Queen of the Glass is a song released by Akuno-P on August 16, 2015 in the Original Sin Story: Complete Edition album. It is the first song in the Original Sin Story.
Plot[]
A woman narrates how her "parents" sleep in the Sin in a large temple, in a country governing the "third world". Ruling the country she, Alice Merry-Go-Round, is a prophet "Queen of the Glass," a glass which reflects the future. She then explains that this is actually false; wanting to meet with her "mother" and "father", she asks them how to turn gods into humans and receives their reply in the bottle: to create vessels for them in a way similar to how she created Adam. Making a false prediction of the future to this end, Alice warps history. Despite this, she expresses unease and asks her parents for assurance she isn't being manipulated by them. Not having a heart or life, she doesn't understand if this is the correct choice.
Lyrics[]
母と父が眠る巨塔
「罪」と呼ばれる闇の遺産
墓場の上にできた国が
治める第三の世界
頂点に立つ私の名は
アリス＝メリーゴーランド
ガラスの女王
未来を映し指し示そう
それが真実でなくとも
出来損ないの預言者
……そして歴史は歪められていく
母さん あなたたちに会うためには
父さん 何をすればいいですか？
どうか私に教えてください
神を人に変える方法を
ガラスの小瓶に映った
母と父からのお告げ
神がくれたメッセージ
「愛しき娘アリスよ 我らの憑代（よりしろ）を創るのだ
かつてお前がアダムを創った時と同じように」
偽りの未来予知
……そして世界は歪められていく
母さん たまに不安になるのです
父さん 私は本当に
あなたたちの娘なんでしょうか？
ただの人形ではないのですか？
母さん これが正しい選択でしょうか？
父さん 私にはわからない
ココロヲモタヌコノワタシ二ワ
イノチヲモタヌコノワタシ二ハ
Haha to chichi ga nemuru kyotou
'Tsumi' to yobareru yami no isan
Hakaba no ue ni dekita kuni ga
Osameru dai san no sekai
Chouten ni tatsu watashi no na wa
ARISU = MERIIGOORANDO
GARASU no joou
Mirai wo utsushi sashishimesou
Sore ga shinjitsu de naku tomo
Dekisokonai no yogensha
……Soshite rekishi wa yugamerarete iku
Kaasan anata tachi ni au tame ni wa
Tousan nani wo sureba ii desu ka?
Douka watashi ni oshiete kudasai
Kami wo hito ni kaeru houhou wo
GARASU no kobin ni utsutta
Haha to chichi kara no otsuge
Kami ga kureta MESSEEJI
"Itoshiki musume ARISU yo warera no yorishiro wo tsukuru no da
Katsute omae ga ADAMU wo tsukutta toki to onaji you ni"
Itsuwari no mirai yochi
……Soshite sekai wa yugamerarete iku
Kaasan tamani fuan ni naru no desu
Tousan watashi wa hontouni
Anatatachi no musume na n deshou ka?
Tada no ningyou de wa nai no desu ka?
Kaasan kore ga tadashii sentaku deshou ka?
Tousan watashi ni wa wakaranai
KOKORO WO MOTANU KONO WATASHI NI WA
INOCHI WO MOTANU KONO WATASHI NI WA
The large temple where my mom and dad sleep
The dark legacy called “Sin”
The Third world, governed by
A country built over a graveyard
The name of I, standing at the top, is
Alice Merry-Go-Round
Queen of the glass
Who will reflect and indicate the future
Even if that’s not the truth
I’m a failure prophet
…And so history is being warped
Mother, in order to meet you both
Father, what should I do?
Please tell to me
The method to change gods into humans
There was a revelation from my mom and dad
That was reflected in the small glass bottle
A god given message
“Our dear daughter Alice, you will make our divine vessel similar to the time you once made Adam”
A false prediction of the future
…And so the world is being warped
Mother, occasionally I grow uneasy
Father, I’m really your daughter, aren’t I?
I’m not just a doll, am I?
Mother, this is the correct choice isn’t it?
Father, I don’t understand
Not this me without a heart
Not this me without life
